We now have three calves, the latest one born last night. What fun to watch them frolic in the pasture or sucking from Mama. With the sun shining bright it gives hope that maybe it will get warm here eventually. The March heat wave sure spoiled us.
Verena called Saturday night asking what to do for a thorn in her foot with red streaks going out from it. When she called Sunday afternoon I forgot to ask about it. I guess it is better or she would have told me. This is her last week at Elnora Bible Institute and she has two weeks before she needs to be at Dave and Suzanna Weaver's. She plans to do some visiting in northern IN and somewhere in OH before duty calls her.
Dave's are moving back to CO, planning to leave OH May 15. Verena will drive one of their vehicles for them, fly back to OH and drive home from there. Her nanny job resumes June 5 and she will just make it home in time for that.
John's been "playing" in our camper the last month. We bought an older trailer in spring of 2011 that needed a few fix ups which he did. Last summer and fall we used it and each time we found more things needing attention. The last couple months John's been making new cabinets for the "kitchen". He also put in new water pump and tank along with other stuff I can't remember. It's one way he unwinds or winds up, not sure, since he works at it early mornings before he goes to work or in evening after he's home!
The latest toy on the farm is this gator Grandpa bought. Grandchildren love it! But Mahlon is more involved than the girls. He's helping Grandpa "fix" whatever was wrong.
He is so pleased with himself when he climbs into it all by himself or when it's just him and Grandpa on it.
