It's September 30th, a special day for me- twenty six years ago Micah was born on my father's birthday. I am going to phone my father (Micah got a facebook message.)We were farming in the Catskill mountains of New York state when Micah made his appearance. He was two weeks early just so he could arrive for Grandpa's birthday. Last December when we were home, Micah demonstrated how he could still do a famous stunt of his childhood.
Garry was up on the computer this morning, he has been letting Maxim feed the cows in the morning since he hurt his knee Tuesday night. However his knee was feeling better today, so we walked down to the post office so I could mail a letter to Canada. Unfortunately, went we got there, the lady told Garry that they did not have enough stamps, and we'd have to return tomorrow.
While we were downstore we stopped at the new store so Garry could get some foam for the new windows that were going into the summer kitchen. This store opened in August, it has hardware, furniture, wallpaper and curtains for sale. The milking ladies are very excited, now they will have all new windows. We are also putting a new furnace/hot water heater and some new radiators in the summer kitchen this fall, the one that heats both houses is in the summer kitchen and needs to be updated.
These goats seem to be eating the bushes near the store closer to the house, we stopped there to pick up bread on the way back to the house. The store has all new people working there, there abacus that used to be used to total purchases is gone, now there is just a calculator.
Maxim had started the windows when we got back, so Garry went out to give him a hand. In fact, Garry felt so good he picked up a bucket of walnuts in the yard and helped feed the cows this afternoon.
