It’s great to see that there has been a lot of posting activity this week. I’ll read and post tonight or in the morning when I have more time…but wanted to post while I had a few extra minutes.
We had a set of twin calves this morning. We rarely have twins so it’s kind of exciting. They are small…about the size of a medium dog. Momma cow had a little girl, cleaned her off and let her nurse and then the baby boy was born and she was too tired to take care of him. My husband put him in the calf warmer (a big ******* covered bin with warm air circulating). I ran up at lunch and he was curled up with his big eyes staring at me when I lifted the lid. My husband took his lunch at 3 so he could bottle feed him. I went up after work and rubbed him down to get his blood circulating. He loved it. I tried to walk away but the little thing bellowed, jumped up and ran after me. I’m getting ready to go back up and bottle feed him at 7:00pm. Can’t wait to be moved in our house so we don’t have to drive back and forth.
Mom called me at work and said her friends went to the casino yesterday. She was ‘up’, or so she said, so she went to her favorite machine and couldn’t do a thing. I don’t know how much she lost but I think it was a lot. I felt so sorry for her and she said ‘it’s best to not even go in there.’ I know that feeling too well. All the expectations before and during and then the disappointment and regret after.
Every time I walk into a casino, I walk out a loser. I hope we all make the choice to not walk into a casino, not sign on to any gambling site and not wager a single bet…and we’ll all be winners.
