....occasionally. Some hunter friends (the ones who we check on their place once a week all winter long to make sure everything is alright) brought us the excess groceries they'd purchased for hunting season as they said hunting was not very good this year and they won't be coming back until next year. SO, we have several bags of chips, pretzels, crackers, cereal, and they also had some biscuits-in-a-can (the kind you twist and the thing explodes), so I made us some fried donuts for dessert today. :) There were also some healthy things: apples, eggs, honey, butter, potatoes and onions, so it was a fun surprise...
Andrew had a productive day in his fix-it-then-sell-it business. He sold a 4-wheeler and a computer to a guy who came from the Jud area. My brothers really enjoyed visiting with the man and they ended up playing a few games of ping-pong with him (and my dad joined them when he got home), as he had a special modified paddle along with him. I didn't see it, but the guys said he'd glued a bunch of foamy stuff onto a regular paddle until it was about an inch thick! He said that when he was young, they used to play ping-pong using frying pans as paddles. :)
One of the things we did today was to round up 4 cows and load them on the stock-trailer so Dad could haul them to Linton to the butcher shop. Some friends are buying the meat... It was neat to have my dad, brothers and I all on 4-wheelers. (Thanks, Andrew for letting us use your wheels!)
I made some more pickled beets today, this time using my grandmas' recipe and they turned out very yummy.
My mom had a client here this afternoon. The rest of us worked on projects around the farm. That's about all the happenings of the day.....
