These days, now that the kids are really adults, when they are home, we all can go different directions and accomplish a great deal. Early early this morning, Daniel and Victoria accompanied their grandfather to a bull sale in Billings, Montana. That entails a four hour drive…a walkthrough of the bulls (which, of course, we’ve already read and reread about in the catalog and made a wish list)… lunch… the sale… and a four hour drive home. I was supposed to go to town and get more electrical supplies, etc. that we were lacking yesterday. Instead our furnace decided to be temperamental and Vernon decided he would go, get the parts, and try to track down a furnace repairman on a Saturday! That meant after we fed some cows this morning, I was free to wash dishes and wash clothes. We were all so filthy after all that plaster dust yesterday, our clothes needed washing desperately as well. Brandon showed up and did some chores around the house before returning to the Mills place to wake up his cousin. We all harassed Caleb for sleeping until 10:30! After lunch and Vernon’s return, we returned to the Mills place for more reconstruction. It doesn’t look like much, but we did get most of the electrical done, and redone for those outlets that were measured wrong! I began a signature wall… autographing for posterity the inside wall… adding today’s newspaper… and maybe a few other things… for someone to find eventually. I did that many times with my Dad… and I always found it a fun idea. Somewhere in there, the guys doctored a sick calf… Brandon’s girlfriend showed up… I managed to keep Elsa and Lucas from beating up on Jazz… I cooked again… and folded clothes…
