Thanks Anna. I thought that would help us. I haven't been in a dairy barn in years, there are none around here. A friend of ours built a new barn, using money from some government program they had going in the 1970's, put in a double 6 herringbone system, got into financial problems and lost the whole thing. Uncle Sam doesn't know a whole lot about milking cows, dictating this and that about running the place, the bottom dropped out of milk prices, and the rest is history. He's had a tough go of it ever since.

Kathleen, it's nice to see you. The Amish know how to hold an event, and it was nice of them to do that for Melissa and her family. How are they doing? Will they be staying in your area? And how is Stan? Is he back to milking because of lack of anyone else to do it?
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
