Pig pick-up and tagging went well this weekend.
Above: Ben & Fox greet their gilts and settle them into the Piggie Palace.
Below: Sunny Girl getting to know the new arrivals.
Thankful for: My awesome neighbor who has been there to help us out so many times in so many ways.
Creative Endeavors: Kind of creative....I framed out an opening in the back barn, extended the wall, and made a new door, turned out pretty good if I do say so myself.
Latest Project: Getting my mojo on for 4H Camp and coming up with some fun stuff to make campfire time more memorable.
My 3 Sons: Fox is taking the AP Psychology exam today and doing some grade clean-up before it's too late. Can not stress the importance of GPA to him when it comes to applying for college and scholarships. The last track meet he only ran the 1-mile and was dealing with some shin splints still. Meeting with the doctor later this week to see what we can do to help him through these training pains.
Ben is having a great time playing soccer with his school buddies and the team does really well together. They have two strings that take turns playing and both are very strong. This is the best passing team I've watched play in a long time. So far they've won one and lost one. Ben had several goal shots this past weekend but none went it. Doh! Hopefully today's game he'll put some in the net!
Ethan did a great job getting sponsorships for the Swine Department again, not sure if he'll win the prize this year but he was glad to help out and generate some funds to go toward all the expenses at Fair. His first baseball game will be on Wednesday, he's not a huge fan of his coach right now but I'm hoping things will turn around. When it comes to rec sports and volunteers it's like a box of chocolates....you never know what you're going to get.
The first Born: Not much on her lately, she's just looking forward to having a week long PAID VACATION in July....going camping with the Grandparents. It's tradition! Nice to see her and the bf at the LCCC "Cinema Sinfonia" concert yesterday.
Employment News: Nothing new on my end, have been getting a decent amount of sub jobs, was in the high school three days last week. Fox and Ben are going to get two more weekends in at the Vineyard which is great because that means they can totally fund their swine project themselves and keep all profits after auction. Ethan is already thinking about where he would like to work when he is a bit older, while he was out procuring sponsorships for the Swine Department he kept in mind that these would be good contacts for references and possible employment. That kind of mindset makes me smile.
Hoping to Improve: My leadership and delegation skills now that, by default, I have become the President of the Lapeer County Concert Choir board.
Food for Thought: Every time you eat according to your natural instincts, it is an act of love and respect. When you begin to recognize your body's needs and take the utmost care in satisfying them, the feelings of self-connectedness can be awesome. ~Ten Habits of Naturally Slim People
