Both my elder and younger brothers were in town for a couple of days so we took the opportunity to go camping with them. It was really nice to get up in the hills, and away from real life, for a while. John and the kids came home after one night, and went back to taking care of the stock while I got to spend a second night with just by brothers and my father. Upon our return to “civilization” my brothers cajoled me into going to see Star Trek with them in Pocatello. I think some of the joy of camping was lost on my brothers, while the joy of watching action movies was lost on me. Never the less we got some sibling time in, and caught up a bit on each other’s lives.
Last week was our county fair, and our County Farm Bureau had a day of activities there for the public. We gave out a lot of milk cartons, ice cream sandwiches, and tons of kids got their face painted. The pedal tractor pull took a full 2 hours to complete. I am so glad that we have an active education committee with a strong chairperson, and that I get to be an “minion” and don’t have to be the “chief” or even “co-chief”.
Becca was away at a cross country running camp this last. Tom worked several shifts with his FFA chapter at the county fair (they are selling raffle tickets). Tom was one of three kids who went to yearbook camp in Boise this week. Football practice begins on the 8th. Cheerleading practice began this week, and cross country on the 12th. Becca has to drive twice more with the driver’s ed teacher (the dreaded trip to Pocatello), and then she can get her permit and begin driving with us. It will be handy when she can get herself to some of her activities, as Tom can do now.
It is also time to make the final decisions about what crops we are going to plant later this summer for fall feed and spring feed. The sheep had worked their way thru all the feed here at the house property so we made the 6-7 trailer load trips to transport them to the Meadow property at the beginning of the week. The state highway department is the process of tearing up, and repaving the road in front of our house making getting into and out of our driveway more challenging and time consuming than normal, but they sheep have to eat so we moved them on Sunday when the road crews weren’t working.
We would benefit greatly from a little moisture. So if you have any rain dancing skills, or a direct line to the big man upstairs, or any other methods please put in a vote for rain in Caribou County in the next couple of weeks.
Many thanks for your business,
John, Lori Anne, Tom and Becca Lau
