So what's happening with EIleen? Is she going to be doing a special concert for you or something?

I would love to go to a concert of hers, but she does not do many of them and none are ever close.......

BUT and don't tell Eileen and great as her singing is, her talking voice is like fingernails on a chalk board..it is amazing it can hurt so much when she talks,,

Urmmmm.... No.

My dad grew up in Minnesota, picking rocks and walking beans. I love visiting there. How do your chickens survive the cold there?? Lol

I make little parkas for mine during the day and then footie PJ for night and they do fine.

How do you make PJ's for chickens? Can you post a picture? They must look cute!

Nah... They all come stampeding towards the door when I walk in carrying their earmuffs. They just love them. Unfortunately, they're a bit rude and cut in line in an attempt to be first.

Finally figured out the signing up for state fair. Here I hadn't scrolled far enough on the choice when choosing what category your entering in (swine, photography etc.) So I just entered the 2 pullets and cockerel in 4H and Showmanship, plus all of them in open.
Camping gets pretty boring when you don't have a boat or kayaks. So my dad and I, who have never really fished pulled out my grandpa's poles and tackle boxes he gave us years ago and are planning on going fishing in a few hours.
Tomorrow we are heading back, my dad and I are leaving early because of the parade going on in Mandan tomorrow.

I knit mine wool hats then felt it out. Then line them with rabbit fur.

Got back from fishing. Didn't catch anything which is fine since we were going to release it back anyways. Met a pretty cool older man there.
