The Good Ole Freap Chat ~ Sequel Part III ~

[mtblujeans]

Mtnbluejeans, here is what's coming to you soon. As promised it snowed on Sept 1 here and we ran out to get the picture. Our child asked if it was Christmas!

The quilt looks good on the barn as does that 2 ton of hay you have put up. What are you feeding? What kind of hay is that? I hear an advert for a ton at $260 yesterday That is why I sold all my horses this year and the trailers too. Now for the tack.

That yard looks familiar.

I am surprised you are having snow before we do! What are your temps now? We're having a couple of sunny days and rain a couple of times each week. Not really the norm for this area but we'll take the moisture.

We have about 25 head of cattle right now. That hay is just grass hay. DH feeds the cattle grain, too, so he doesn't like to make the hay too rich. He got that for $168 a ton but I am sure the prices will be rising when it gets colder. He has found a guy that brings those big rounds down out of Canada and we will be getting quite a few of those pretty soon. DH calculates how much hay he will need for the entire winter and then buys it all at once. Those 'small squares' are for breaking a few tablets out here and there...

I know alot of people are selling their cattle and horses, around here, going into the winter. We saw alot of ads for animals for sale going into last winter, too. I hope the hay levels out pretty soon. It would be tough to part with a horse you have had for years because you can't feed it.

I went to get my hair cut today and I made more money in new hat orders than I spent on my hair! Now I can totally justify getting my hair done!



Madd - It's starting to cool down here a little bit, maybe it will head your way. It only got up to 80 today.

Now that is a successful freap!!!!!!

You might be right about the weather- I checked and on Sat is only supposed be 77! OK- so it is gong to rain all day and night- but it will be 77! I guess there will be no sailing for us on Sat!

We also wanted to go to the cycle rally Sat night down the shore- DARN! It will probably get rained out! Hopefully we can catch some of the shenanigans on Sunday- but Sunday is never as fun as Sat night!

I don't think shenanigans even happen on a Sunday afternoon- no matter what you are doing!

I took this picture of Carly last Sunday at Holiday World. I thought it turned out pretty cool.

Hi,
I should be packing and getting ready to go to the Cape. DH's nephew is getting married Saturday and we are leaving in the am. Dh is leaving early and DD and I will drive down after her classes get over.
My DRs gave me the okat to go (i was going anyway) They also made sure DH can do the packing of the wound.

She is adorable! I keep seeing that pic you have of her in your siggy and she looks like such a little girl there!

She is getting so big! Now does Carly grow when she sleeps like Natalie and my niece, Karlee ?

Cape Cod????? OMG Kellie! You SO deserve to have a wonderful time!

I have been to Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard- I did not get to see enough of Cape Cod b/c we were rushing off to stay in Nantucket- which I loved!

DH and I have been talking about going Savannah in the Fall! I have to get some "numbers" together for him- for the budget!

Yes, she does! She's grown 3 inches in the last year. She is only 48" but she looks much taller. She was blessed with long legs.

That is a really cute picture

NATALIEBELLESmom-your dd sure is growing up! Quite the young lady. Oh where o where does the time go? I see little babies and miss those days so much! Don't get me wrong, I love my dd at this age, she's a lot of fun. But i also miss the baby years when they completely depended on us.

BTW, how is the new home?

The new house is great I love be so close to college. Natalie made a new BFF almost the same day we moved in. Yea I miss those baby years too but she is something else at this age too.

You I just wanted to say that we have one of the best Freap Family around. I had just a stinker of a week at school and all of you without even knowing it, Seem to always make all of our bad days better.

 

[hadleysun]

I know exactly what you mean! And I totally agree!

 

[mtblujeans]

I love it when everybody checks in and tells us what their up to! It's like hearing from sisters!

Congrats on the major hat orders! Judging by the photo of Carly, you guys had a great time!

Kellie, just keep the sand out of those "delicate spots"....if you know what I mean (wink, wink)

I can't hardly stand the JD pics! They give me goosebumps!

Darn, they are calling me to go help load up cattle....gotta run...it was nice to hear from everybody this afternoon!

 

[hadleysun]

Have a good time!

By the way I tried to PM you, but your storage is full! That's a lot of stuff you must be storing! All I was gonna tell you was that I got an email from Linda and all is well... she does still Dis, but just doesn't make it over here...but she's out there! So maybe she'll pop in one day!
