OK, I was happy with the old tank.
But it died...and we tore the barn apart..
So we got a new one...
of course bigger is better...
And patched the hole for now...Thank you Dad for buying lots of tarps...I inherited a few..
Sarah likes the new one..
I always wanted a tank with a ladder..
Carl tells me the cows will milk more when they see this big new tank...
We were fortunate to have Tanya and her family for Easter. Here are Emma, Madilyn, Sarah, and Carrie waiting patiently to start their Easter egg hunt.
Sarah is happy, she got the whole bowl while everyone else was looking for eggs.
T J is happy too!
Sheila helped a lot with dinner, Sarah ate.
Carrie ate.
Kara is thinking about eating.
Stacy lost her ears.
Grandma avoiding the confusion.
And David made the trip all the way from Ottawa to enjoy our Easter ham. Victoria & Brad, and Brad's father Carl were here too. Carl came all the way from Iqaluit, Nunavit.
And here is Jesse , Gilbert, & Bradford hiding in the back room, making the decisions that will change our lives!
Hey! What's that guy doing up our telephone pole? Oh..It's Brad, Gilbert's Dad, and he is hooking up our high speed internet!!. Yes! And then he came in the house and got it all set up for me. It works great. Thanks Brad!
Today I enjoyed the pleasure of a colonoscopy. Despite all the warnings of how miserable it would be, it went off smoothly. (It helped to be laying next to a fellow waiting to pass a kidney stone). Even the cleaning out went well yesterday, and I did a good job as you can see from the picture. Many thanks to Tanya, who made a special trip down to drive me in and out from the hospital. Now I'm off to gather eggs.
Last Thursday, Carrie performed in her high school variety show. She was in a few skits, and also followed in Victoria's footsteps, and sang for us.
Thanks to Jim, I have some pictures. Here is Jim and I enjoying a beer. You can't see his because I think he dropped it. He did that a few times. Dunno why.
Here I am with the sled I liked the best. Only the sober guys wore helmets. Thanks Mike for letting me use it.
We enjoyed a great BBQ, and a few beer. This was Jim's table.
I think this is where everyone else put there empties.
And seeing as we have the picture, would you believe this fellow is now the CEO of a corporation. Rothiemay Farms Ltd. Est. Mar 17, 2009 (Saint Patricks Day)
Today, Tanya and TJ have been married 4 years. Isn't it funny how after spending so much time together, spouses start looking like each other. We all hope that you had an enjoyable day.
Dad wonders why Jesse needs to see if his 4 wheel drive will take him through 4 foot snow drifts. (Psssst....It won't and you had to be there!!!)
Anyways, Sarah and Bruce had their 29th anniversary today, and all the local restaurants were closed due to the storm, so we stayed home and enjoyed doing our chores and ate a bag of chips. Sarah loves the barn.
What a pretty morning it was today, especially before the wind came up and it began to feel colder.
We've had lot's of snow this winter, and lots of fun plowing it back. There is also lots of ice under the snow, and we have had to sand the driveway many times for the milk and feed trucks. And the egg truck too.
Abby loves the snow. Her puppies are all gone again, so she is experiencing that empty nest feeling.
Carrie loves digging holes in the snow. I use the same bucket to clean out the chicken barn as I do to pile up snow. Keep digging Carrie.
