We've been kind of busy the last couple days. Wednesday, I had lunch with some friends at the Caribou Grill. Two of the girls I met up with I never really see...one lives down in the cities and doesn't get home much. It was a lot of fun catching up. It's crazy to think how our lives change so much once we graduate from high school...we all take off on our own paths and find new adventures for our lives.
Thursday was my birthday. I turned 25! It was a good, relaxing day...it was really hot and humid out, so we played outside only for a while and then came back in the house. I wish I had a little kiddie pool for the kids...I think it would be more fun to be outside on the really hot days if they had that to play in. Matt took Clarence up to check cows on one of our pastures north of our farm. They took the 4-wheeler, and came back about an hour later in one of our pickups. Turns out they had gotten stuck in the swamp and Matt had left the pickup up there a couple days ago, so they were able to drive that home. Good thing, because that would've been a long walk for a 2-year old! :) Matt was busy hauling cows all day from a pasture up north back to the house...the cows had moved themselves to that pasture by crossing the river on our land out back. He managed to catch all the cows in the barn on Thursday and thought it would be best to bring them home. (A lot of good that did him...last night, we went for a drive and passed by that pasture, and all the cows had crossed the river again. So much work for nothing. I feel bad for Matt when stuff like that happens, because he's working so hard and things just seem to go backwards.) Oh, well! Such is life on the farm! On the evening of my birthday, Adina and I went to a mother-daughter supper with my great-aunt and some other family members...it was a fun evening of visiting. When I got home, Matt's parents and sister were here...they had brought over a cake for my birthday and come for a visit. It was a fun evening!
Yesterday, we got up and went to town to do some business. Clarence and I went over to Grandma Muriel's house for coffee while Matt and Adina went to the courthouse for a while. Matt took a long time and Grandma went up to eat lunch at the senior center, so Clarence and I walked up to the library book sale. We found a lot of fun animal books, and I found some that looked interesting for myself. We finally found Matt, but he still had stuff to do, so I took the car, and the kids and I drove around town, picking up flowers, a father's day present, and lunch.
Last night, we went for a drive to go visit some people up north of town. It was fun...the kids had fun playing and were so good!
Today, I think we're going to go to Kick'n up Kountry to watch the lawn mower races and hopefully Ashlee Hewitt! I'd love to hear her again...it's been a long time!
