Back in the game...

Hello....I'm finally back in the game...of life that is :D Actually, as I write this blog I am in the midst of watching what else but the NCAA Sweet 16 play-offs...my favorite team North Carolina is playing Washington State. What a deal! However, I'm finding myself torn between the two teams...what's that all about??? Okay, back to ME....
First let me report that my "Sweet girl" came back home to me on Tuesday...it wasn't a main seal...Praise God! Just a seal in by the timing belt..which was next on the maintainence schedule anyway...then a couple other things needing tweaked...at the final cost of $900..something (think I'd pay more attention to the cost...but, I'm just happy to have my girl back!) So, I'm thinking I"m going to spend a lot of time dreaming about that beach in Maui before I actually get there again!
We had a nice Easter....Jesus is Alive! What a great way to start off a Sunday, celebrating that. After Easter service life got a little crazy...you know family crisis seem to know no boundaries. Then, I woke up at 12:30 a.m. on Monday morning...my first official day of Spring break with the stomach flu! (Yuck, to say the least...and something I could of truly done without!) By 7:00 I decided I would survive...only to hear Pat calling me to come help him with Goldie (his favorite Breeding cow) She was looking all shaky, and jittery...he was headed out to give her an IV of some calcium-magnesium...and I called the vet. By the time we did get outside, she had hit the ground and even though Pat IV'd her, she didn't make it. So, when, the vet arrived he went ahead an autopsied her...sure enough it was a mineral deficiency (making Pat a not very happy camper at all). Goldie was so good to us...and had blessed us with many of our breeding stock..she even gave us another heifer this year...she's adorable, and it makes me sad to think she's an orphan now too. I must name her??? Any ideas??? It was a sweet blessing that Pat was home, because with the flu, I probably would have missed it until it was over...and at least I didn't have to be responsible for it. (There's nothing like having a dead cow in your drive-way waiting to be hauled off!!!)
The rest of the week, I'v been somewhat lazy...finally today, I feel ready to go....(I wish it was somewhere warm with a beach)....I hope each enjoyed a truly amazing Easter and are having a wonderful Spring Vacation....got to go...the game is in the second half...I'll try to post again soon...Sweet blessings!
