Happy Birthday Stacy

Today our redhead turns 24. Yikes... And some of us still haven't figured out where we got her. Stacy is famous for sayings like "What's a load on?", and "You gotta live here to get it!"
Happy Birthday Stacy!!

Cages

We all worked on the cages the other day when they arrived from Germany. Here are a few pics, including one of Jesse, Victoria, & Bruce hard at work, and Sarah, who seems to be on a mission. Thew last pic shows the barn, and gives you the idea that there is still lots to do.

Also last week

Also last week we got lots of mowing and harvesting done. We filled a silo with a good crop of clover and grass. I also got most of the barley sprayed and all of the corn. Here is a pic of Bruce spraying the corn, and also 2 of him harvesting. No pics of anybody mowing, but I included one of Sarah milking with a bit of help.

Getting ready for Cement

First, I want to say how fast these pictures that Jesse took with his cellphone uploaded to the blog. Gotta get me one of those phones. But I am still waiting for the pic of the finished cement and I am getting heat for not updating the blog. So here we are jackhammering out the old cow stalls, and in the second picture we are ready for the cement which actually came last Wednesday

Bruce milking a cow

For Fathers Day, I put a pic of Bruce milking a cow. It's not a real cow, and the teats are kinda of a little far forward, but hey, it is in the kitchen and near a bottle of wine, so life is good!

House for Sale

Today we are looking for buyers for this beautiful house in Bathmen, Holland. The house is located on a pretty cobblestone street, near the center of town, close to restaurants, cheese shops, and of course the annual fair( which has been held for like 450 years). Look at the garden and the lovely pair of holly trees! This is a wonderful house, in a pretty neighbourhood, and would be a great place to have if you wanted a place to vacation to. ( Trust me! ) Contact our good friend Jaap (pictured) or his lovely wife Fia.

Happy Birthday Jesse

Our main man Jesse turned 22 today. Here is a pic we like from a few years ago, a pic from today, of a much more mature young man, and a pic of him with Stacy and his favourite nephew, Bradford. Stacy, Kara, Bradford, Grandma, and his best bud Chris were here for supper to celebrate the birthday.
