WORKDAY AT DAUGHTERS AND 2009 MEMORIES

Got to sleep in for an extra hour this morning before getting chores done and getting ready for market.
Hubbie helped me get set up and then left early to get over to daughter's and help #1 son who was finally getting to finish grade her and get grass sowed in her yard.
Market was pretty good today with more shoppers out on a pretty and warm day.
I left market a little late after talking with the other board members about a couple things and then made a stop at Aldi to pick up groceries and baking supplies for next week.
I stopped by daughter's to check on the progress of the work and helped pick up rocks and sticks all around the yard while hubbie and son seeded and fertilized.
We all came home and hubbie and I watched the news before chore time this evening.
I am still feeling pretty wiped out and my head is still really stuffed up so I was glad to have an evening to just put my feet up tonight.
Back in March of 2009 there was many memories made some good some not so good but it was a long full month for our family.
On March 2,2009   we received the biggest snowfall of the season and g-son got to get a little sledding in.







When I look at some of these old pics they remind me of past automobiles we have had. In these snowy pics there is #2 son's pick-up truck and hubbie's Honda Accord...
And daughter's Jeep Cherokee that she had for years and loved.


These pics remind me of the cattle we had back them and that we had just recently bought 6 Holstein calves from a co-worker of hubbie and one of them had severely contracted tendons in both of his front feet so we had put him back on the bottle.
We also had other calves and our old Snowball the cow watched over all of them.

Hubbie's mother had been in the hospital in February with a couple stokes and had been transferred to Hospice by the first of March. She passed away on March 4th of that year leaving hubbie's father alone.



This is Pawpaw with all his grown grandkids.
 Pawpaw with grandsons.
My #1 and #2 son.
Pastor Mike with #1 son and d-in-love.
Daughter and aunt Sandy.
In these photos from that month I am reminded of these loyal 4 legged kids that were in very good health in those years.
Dolly..... the teacup poodle.....
Dolly and Bernie..... the Havanese…..
Sadie the Australian Shepherd.....
There was fun to be had that month also when the weather warmed and the March winds blew it was kite flying time and Katelyn , daughter's "little sister" loved to entertain g-son.






And in other special memories from that month the little calf with the contracted tendons made a remarkable complete recovery and became a special pet.


Wonderful memories from a very up and down month back in March of 2009 that seems like it was only yesterday and not 10 years ago !!!
Thankful for the blessings in these memories and for the wonderful blessings of this day.
God Bless and Good Night.
