It doesn’t matter what you are doing in life, it is the little things that add up.<\/p>\n
–Tonight, as I strolled through these does, I caught myself having thoughts like:<\/p>\n
“If she doesn’t bring much\u2026.”<\/p>\n
“I should keep her.”<\/p>\n
And then, they start acting like female goats. \u00a0 My attitude went sour in a hurry.<\/p>\n
Pick a four letter word.<\/p>\n
No, not that one. \u00a0A better one.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Speaking of 4 letter words–no, this isn’t the end of the “blog’. \u00a0We will still have goats. \u00a0The does may not bring much, but it is scary how many people read this dribble that comes out.<\/p>\n
As I was pulling a mini hereford calf this afternoon (this doesn’t look anything like the advertisements), I was reminded that it doesn’t matter what you are doing, there are always problems. \u00a0However, good help=live calf. \u00a0Have I ever mentioned that we have great neighbors? \u00a0We do.<\/p>\n
It doesn’t matter if you are farming 10 acres, or dealing with 1 horse, or have 3 cows, or 10 goats, or one 17 year old son\u2026..start a day earlier and be prepared to deal with some issues.<\/p>\n
Duke, as well as three other great Shattuck FFA members and a couple of bus load of FFA members from OK are attending the Washington Leadership Conference. \u00a0I didn’t know about this trip when I was this age. \u00a0I was almost 30 before I ever saw our nation’s capitol. \u00a0I’m a bit envious of these kids as they make this journey.<\/p>\n
True, cool story. \u00a0 While the kids were loading the bus at Guthrie, OK. \u00a0 I was standing there talking to several parents including Mike Parrish–better known as Taylor Parrish’s dad. \u00a0 Yes, we were talking goats and mullets.<\/p>\n
Two kids asked for the bus to be unloaded. \u00a0And it was. \u00a0These two, freshly graduated high school kids, that are now serving as OK state FFA officers, circled a bus load of kids, hand in hand (parents included) and said a prayer. \u00a0We might have missed church in order to meet this bus, but we did not miss a chance to feel the power. \u00a0Awesome moment. \u00a0I may be an old crusty fart with a bad right eye but I know good when I see it. \u00a0Even if it was just a little thing.<\/p>\n
