200 a Month, Goals, & Menu

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

We are starting to get some rain now and it is starting to melt off a lot of the snow ( we still have a ton of it though). So now we are starting on mud season lol. I am pretty sure it is knee deep down at the corrals and some places pretty sure you don’t want to venture into.

 

We had our first calf the other day was really hoping it wouldn’t be quite so muddy when they started hitting the ground. Don’t think that is going to happen though.

 

I started an EMR class ( emergency responder) a few weeks ago it has been so informative and I am loving it. Kind of thinking about taking a basic EMT class after this if I can fit it in.

 

Super great news this weekend Joleen and Skyler got engaged so happy for them and look forward to having him for a son in law. He is so good to her and so patient with her and that is huge lol. So now I get to help plan a wedding woo hoo.

 

We had an Earthquake this morning craziest thing ever. It was a small one but it has really made me rethink my deep pantry. I haven’t really planned for an earthquake. The way I have things stacked on shelves it wouldn’t take much to make a huge mess of things so I am going to have to work on fixing that.
