Blanket?

Sunday...Sunday...
I woke up later than usual today- about 7:00 and went out the help Merle with chores. I sorta had the day off because of church being at 9:30 this morning and Merle was leaving for Delberts earlier than that. So, I helped feed and headed back in the house for breakfast and got ready for church. Merle brought a pickup down for me to drive because there is too much mud for my car- I probably wouldn't make it to town!

So, I took the black pickup (we don't always get along the best...remember that trip to Gordon?) and headed out for church at my little Wisconsin Synod Lutheran Church. The pastor was gone today so the Leigh person did the service. It was nice, with about the same amount of people there as last week. Afterwards I had a chance to talk with some people and it turns out the congregation for today was pretty much one big family! lol There were only three or four other people there! It was nice to meet some people and sing some somewhat familiar hymns...haha! After church I went over to Ross and Marlas (Merle's parents) and had dinner with them. They have been wanting me to come over so I finally did- which was really nice and made them happy:) I ate amazing food there and visited and then headed back home. O, and I had one letter in the mail from the past week, it was one of those survey offers that puts two dollars cash in the envelope- yey for $2! ...I gave it to the church.

When I got back to the ranch I realized that Joe didn't have his blanket on anymore and I was just sure that I had left it on him this moring because it was really cold and wet. I looked all over thinking that Merle took it off and hung it somewhere...nope turns out that after a little four wheeler blanket hunt he just simply dropped in in the middle of their little paddock...that terd! haha, so I took it in and hung it up- if he didn't want it on than so be it! When I got back from sloshing around in the mud I decided that sitting in the house was wayyy too boring so I got a four wheeler out, aired up the bad tire and started cleaning up the shed a little bit. I spent the rest of the day cleaning out the tractor cabs and washing windows. It seemed like something to keep myself busy with that was actually constructive! By the time I was done with the second tractor it was chore time. I did chores with no problem and put Joe's somewhat dry blanket back on a bit later this evening.

The rest of the night I did dishes, ate, and tried to watch "50 first dates" but it took forever because my phone kept ringing! But, that about covers it- it was a nice day to just get a few things done. Sounds like we might move some spayed heifers in the morning and then mom and john and ann are coming up tomorrow. Should be fun to see someone new...well sorta new!
