Howdy!! How is everyone?? We are all fine!!! As all of you probably know we have had a LOT of company!! And I mean a lot!! Let me start at the beginning. (Sp?)

Let’s see here… First my Mom’s mom and two cousins came out. That was fun. While they were here Austin and I had o feed calves for a friend of Austin’s. That was a BLAST!! I really liked it. There were 55 to 60 calves that we had to bottle feed. Then there were also calves that were off the bottle, he also has some steers and bulls and I think he has some heifers. So all in all we had to feed around 200 calves/cows/bulls. We had to get up around 5:00 every morning to go and feed them then we also had to feed them in the evening. So all in all it was a busy week what with feeding calves and then with Grandmother, Aunt Hettie, Ruth, and Etta here.

Then the next week, Uncle Johns came out. (That would be my Mom’s sister and her family). Anyway, they came out for some church meetings, and 5 of their 6 children stayed here. I really had fun that week. They have one daughter and the rest are boys. LaDella (The daughter) is like 4 years younger then me. She is also a very quiet girl. But this time I had more fun with her than I have ever had.

Then the next week my Dad’s family came out. That was fun also. We slept out in tents, ate all of our meals out side. It was fun. On Sat. I had gotten one of our rabbits out for the children to pet, but didn’t want it to run away so I put under my skirt and just had it’s head sticking out. Well I was just sitting there on the ground with this rabbit’s head sticking out at the end of my skirt and one of my cousin’s was standing in front of me. I think she would be about 6.Diane apparently hadn’t seen me get it out cuz she looks down at my skirt and goes “Hey there is a rabbit under you skirt!!” I thought it was funny and kinda cute.

So now we are talking about SCHOOL!! I am sure all of you are probably either doing it already or at least have your books, but we don’t. So we have to do that yet.

Btw!! I need to do Phys Ed this year. So I am wondering how many of you out there have to do it also. This is going to be the first year I do it so I don’t really know what to expect, or do. {{GULP}}  So comment me and tell me! Please!!

Hey I just about forgot to tell ya’ll about my Uncle Lester!!! He is one of Daddy’s 3 brothers and he and his family were going to be coming out here for the family gathering thing. Well the night before they were going to leave he was in a 4 wheeler accident. What it was, was he was going under this barbed wire fence (The live on a farm) and the barbed wire got a hold of his neck and face. It is kinda weird cuz they have gone under that fence how many times!!! But this time it just got him. Earlier he had asked his oldest son to put up some other wire and if Duane would have changed the wire it would have killed Uncle Lester. So we are all thankful that it didn’t kill him. So they took him to a hospital and he stayed there for 2 to 4 days. I am going to try to post some pix of him. I am going to make them smaller so hopefully it will work.   Under his right eye, they put 2 stitches. On his neck are a whole bunch of scratches where the wire rubbed him. When he went under the wire he was going about 20 MPH. One other guy told Uncle Lester he isn’t sure how Uncle Lester stayed on the 4 wheeler, cuz this other guy was going only 10 MPH and was flipped off of. So Uncle Lester is MIGHTY LUCKY!!!! They of course didn’t get to come out, but we still had fun!!!

I have to go now. So give me LOTS of comments!!! Ttyl!!!! Ne$$ P.S. My mom has a blogg but hasn't updated in a while, but i thought it would be nice for her if that when she DOES update it if there were a couple of comments there to welcome her. So if you don't mind I am going to asking for a favor. I am wondering if maybe ya'll could go and comment on her blogg. Her blogg name is Luv4TheKitchen. THANX!!!!! Ya'll are great!!
