Grandparents Day???
We met the kids and some of the
grandkids at the steakhouse in Carthage, Missouri Sunday
night. Blaine (son) told us it was Grandparents Day.
Good company, good meal and
afterwards we walked across the parking lot to a fast food
playground and topped it off watching AJ.

Son Blaine, friend Karen and daughter Gwen. Right - Blaine with his
son AJ. |

Site of the
future goat shed. Ben aims to put a roof over the
panels and cover the west and north sides. He's
working on the roof supports now with the new welding stuff
he got at the auction yesterday in Kansas. He should
have been an inventor.
Keeper carefully
watching the goats lest they head out for parts unknown
again.
Ben commented we
didn't have enough goats to keep the brush down and probably
ought to add another 60 head or so! At least they'd be
easier to spot moving at a high rate of speed. Leslie
didn't believe Ben when he said they grazed at 90 mph.
She does now! |

Ed and Bobbie Hamersley,
Walker, Missouri |
|
Friday, September 5th was the
day to work cattle. Ben drove over to help Ed and
Bobbie after he located the "lost" goats.
It's usually just Ed and Bobbie
working the cattle. They had over 180 head of 450 lb
calves. They thought they'd be working long after
dark. But with three sets of hands, they finished
before supper!
Even got Ben limbered up after
his spill from the horse early in the morning! Read
about that on the next visitor's page back. |
