Because the temps were so cold today the boy didn't have school. He did however have a basketball game to go to. I wasn't planning on letting him go, or leaving the house today. Just goes to show, plans can be broken. I agreed to let him go, and I took him to meet the coach at the mall. I figured since the coached called and asked him to ride to the game with him I'd be nice at let him. Boy was it cold out there.


On the way to take the boy to meet the coach we saw 17 wild turkeys. They were in the lower field heading towards the bluff. I was surprised our dogs hadn't gotten after them.

Snowball finally had her calf. Its brown, not sure if its a he or a she yet. Big Red keeps sneaking off from the other cows, I figure she's getting ready to hatch too. We're up to six calves so far.

Snowball and her calf, with Denny's calf.

I got lucky and about 10 pm the coach dropped the boy off at home. I asked him how he got so lucky, and he said the coach needed to go by the high school to pick up some work to grade. So since our house was between where they were, and where he was going, he just dropped him off on the way. Cool for me, I didn't have to get out in the cold.

I'm trying to empty one of my email inboxes, but it seems like for every 1 I do I get 5 in return. Very slow going. Ugh!

On the bright side, I'm drinking lots of water these days. Not too much, but enough. I put it in the freezer til it starts freezing, then it stays good and cold. I don't like hot water. I have my Diet DP in the mornings and then water the rest of the day. That and walking more should help, I hope. I haven't attempted to get on the scale lately, I don't like it when it tells me to get my fat aXX off. Hubby just rolls his eyes at me and says well you're all mine and I don't mind.

Anyway, I'm out of here for now! Hope you've had a wonderful Friday!!!!
