Reed Ranch- Cute & Tasty

We got back from our trip on Monday September 18, 2006. Aunt Midge came to visit on Wednesday September 20, 2006. She got here just in time to go to the girls Acrobat Class.

Thursday September 21, 2006 we all went to an animal auction near by. Where we saw to grown men screaming at each other about their bids over an animal and the cops were getting called. It was an interesting way to start an auction. We didnt buy anything for the goats always seem to come last and the girls were getting so antsy after two hours. We saw lots of sheep and pigs sold. Some of the sheep even were able to leap out of the pen into the crowd.

Friday Great Grandma Kistler and Cheryl arrived. They had a long day of driving but it was nice to see them. We tried to have the house clean. Well as clean as you can get a place when you have absolutely no room to put anything. Aunt Midge was
moved to the storage room where there was just enough room for her to set up her cot and put a few things.

Aunt Midge, Great Grandma and I played lots of cards. Aunt Midge and Great Grandma seemed to hit it off. They played cards and gabbed for hours. They both seemed to have a great time. I know Aunt Midge really enjoyed herself. The weekend with Great Grandma went very fast. It rained most of the time. The Girls liked having both of them around too. While they were here Asa and I were able to get a home established for Happy Birthday so she would stay off the porch and quit pooping on it. We were sweeping about 10x a day from her. It gets old quickly. She would be great if she wouldnt poop on the porch. Great Grandma and Cheryl left Monday to go back to PA and Aunt Midge left Wednesday.

Asa started his new job at Lowes. It is the same job he had when he left the Lowes in Greeley. He is happy to get back to the position he likes there. It makes him much more enjoyable. At the top is a picture of the 5 Boer goat bucks he bought while we were gone and Happy Birthday. They are 10 months old and very funny to watch. They are getting very big. This week we should have 20 more goats on the way. All we have to do is finish the fence for them. We tried to get it finished this weekend for Asa had three days off but we only had one nice day and we didnt get it all done. However we did clean up around the garage and chicken coop and picked up years of garbage from the previous owner. We had the biggest bonfire yet. We will pick up the goats using the mini van. We will have to make 4 trips so luckily it isnt too far.

We have been without a phone line for nine days. We didnt have a dial tone and we have been fighting with the phone company to have someone come out and fix it. They finally showed today. So we now have a phone thus a computer. Our logs should be more regular again.
