Well,the milking job is coming along nicely. Not many problems to speak of, and not anything we can't deal with. The know-it-all hired guy from last year is no longer in the picture. His brother has taken his place.........not the brightest bulb in the pack but I would rather work with him than the other one. He's only a couple watts off..............LOL
I'm expecting another fresh cow before the gig is up, who knows. One day we will go out there and I suppose there will be a bouncing baby calf.
The SU and I took off today for a couple of hours and went to a big Amish/Mennonite bulk food store. Mostly just to look around and see if they had anything I didn't think I could live without. And they did have the lard I was wanting for more baking here for Patty. Well, not baking per se, I'm just making a whole bunch of different cookie doughs and putting them in the freezer for her. I have 8 batches so far, plus 2 loaves of bread (baked) 2 pound cakes that I cut in half and wrapped up. Sometimes a whole cake is just too much for 2 people. A dozen cinnamon rolls I formed and wrapped individually so she can thaw, rise, and bake as she wants. That way they will be REALLY fresh. Have more rolls to make, and more cookie dough, and have a pack of cream cheese for another cream cheese pound cake. I'm here for a whole 'nother week yet! Glad I told the SU he could bring my KitchenAid mixer out. All she has is a little Sunbeam. Jeez, like using a wheelbarrow when you need a dump truck.
