Changes..........

Changes are a big part of our lives and like them or not they will happen and you WILL have to deal with them, but it is how you deal with them that matters most.




For those of you that don't know, this is Terry, a long time Manager here at the farm. We won't go into the apron he is holding or why, or what else was cropped out of the photo. Sadly, the 26Th of March is Terry's last day at the farm and I for one am going to miss him. Terry is going off to be a mechanic for some race car driver, something he really wants to do and all here wish him nothing but the best (sending pit passes back to us couldn't hurt either) and a fond farewell...:)
So, when you see Terry next week be sure and say your good-byes and give him a big hug, a hardy handshake, and what the heck, a great big kiss, tongue no tongue your choice but be sure and wish him the best and let him know we will miss him and his family, God's speed Terry....:)))

Things are growin........

See what I found today! So, do you know what that means??? Yep, tulips are coming up! I spent most of the afternoon with the lawn roller trying to smash down the mole hills left by the mutant ninja mole that invaded our yard last fall.

I am not kidding, it looked like a scene from Bill Murray's Caddy Shack you know the one with the gopher that invaded the golf course.....if I had been in possession of some C-4 I would have used it!!!

It's been a pretty quiet week work and weather wise. Nothing too exciting or mind bending oh well, maybe a little fun with Matt (the new guy) since today was his birthday HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT... and we kept him up half the night watching for us to pull a prank on him so he was a little tired, to say the least, and a little jumpy to boot!! Ronda did have to come over and fix our copy machine....hey, she should have known better than to send us a machine with no hand book and think we wouldn't push all the little buttons to see what they did or didn't do so it's not our fault the pages all came out solid black or covered in spots......well, maybe a little bit our fault, but we did pull the plug when it started to smoke......:)

Well, I will take my leave of.......something.......and go find a pain pill and the TV and call it a night like everyone else has or at least it appears that way. But for now all are home and tucked in for the day and all is well on the farm once again.....:)

Laaaaaaaazy Day.....

What a lazy day, or maybe it is just me. I've been fighting the side effects of antibiotics of which have not cured my problem but instead made me develop a whole new set of problems and given the new set, I wish I had left the medicine alone. Sometimes technology sucks, anyway I dug out this list this morning and decided to post them, again so to speak, they are "Kims Top Ten" as I like to call them or tips if you will from one of our previous round tables and I liked them very much as they are good advice........

Before you say anything to anyone, ask 3 things: Is this True? Is It Kind? Is it Necessary?
Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully.
Never miss the opportunity to complement or say something encouraging to someone.
Refuse to talk negatively about others; don’t gossip and don’t listen to gossip.
Have a forgiving view of people. Believe that most people are doing the best they can.
Keep an open mind; discuss, don’t argue.
Forget about counting to 10. Count to 1,000 before doing or saying anything that could make matters worse.
Let your virtues speak for themselves.
Cultivate your sense of humor; laughter is the shortest distance between two people.
Do not seek so much to be consoled, as to console; do not seek so much to be understood, as to understand; do not seek so much to be loved, as to Love.

Remember to set your clocks up an hour on Sunday, I'm just not sure which Sunday or which hour but I am leaning towards lunch time.......:)
