Dear friends,
What a busy time of year isn’t it? Graduations, awards ceremonies, end of year activities, weddings (or in our case wedding planning!).
School finished up today for all the public schooled kids. Both big girls made the honor rolls, in addition to receiving class awards in their respective grades.
I’m still going strong with the little ones for a few more weeks. We like to take time off during the school year and catch up during the hot time of year. Each day after school the two little ones head out to the horse trough for some swim time. Funny thing is, it is a horse trough, but we bought it just for swimming –Farm life!
Otherwise around the farm, we finished up calving our last spring calf this week. A sweet little one who didn’t get the message that everyone else arrived in early April. Then we went out that same day to find that a pesky racoon had broken into the hen house killing 5 of our 6 new birds. The cats have all had kittens, six little ones play on the porch and nurse off whatever mama is available when they are hungry. The mama cats seem content to split the baby care duties.
I have made a few trips to the city over the last week on different errands. One very interesting one allowed me the chance to meet a large yellow duck.
---yes you read that right
------I got invited to meet Mr. Vanderquack
In case you have never heard of him, he is a really cool little guy who I believe goes by the name of Junior in person. He travels around the 50 states in various jeeps, sightseeing, meeting interesting people, and raising money for the kids he left back home at St. Jude’s Hospital. His goal this year is $250,000.
I met up with him at the Oklahoma State Capital. I made sure and wore my “No One Fights Alone” t-shirt with the #MilliesMiracle hashtag on the back. If Millie were here, she would have enjoyed meeting Junior riding in his Lime Green Jeep accompanied by Kathryn. We took pictures, gave hugs, and were off, headed for home.

Finally, this week has had me working with a self-publishing company on the children’s book. I am still preparing it to get ready for printing. I can’t wait to see it in the hands of families who need it. This year I hope!
--and if you have read it, well I’ve rewritten and changed so much that it might sound like a different story—Looking forward to sharing the updated version.
