Do you feel like sometimes I start something on the blog and never finish it? I know some people are annoyed that I blog about something I will be doing soon, but then they don't get to hear any follow up on how things went. So I've decided that every month I'll do a blog of updates---sort of filling you in on the events that have occurred related to the prior month's blogs.
Sheep Sale As I told everyone last Friday, our family lamb sale was last weekend. It went great--best one we've had. We sold 38 lambs. We even broke a goal we set for ourselves....twice. And on top of that, we got to visit some great time with our customers, who are really great friends as well. It's always like a little show family reunion.
My New Cow One Family Farm Friday Blog told you about my new cow (and calf). I have finally seen them, and little brother is still hired as my cattle buyer. She looks pretty good! I'm very excited and plan to spend some time deciding which bull I want to breed her to--which you all probably remember me discussing previously. The calf looks pretty good as well....so I'll have to decide if I am going to keep her or sell her. She may end up being a little fine boned, but we'll see.
NCAA Tournament Well, my Cinderella Stories blog almost was the ultimate preminition. Tiny underdog Butler almost beat college basketball powerhouse Duke. Butler was the smallest school EVER to play in the Championship game. Their coach is only 33 years old. They were the total real life Hoosiers (great movie if you haven't seen it) who were playing for small schools everywhere. They came within on basket of pulling it off. One of my favorite parts of this was College Roomie who had me help her with her bracket. We were filling it out and she said "Butler. I'll pick them. Go Big 12." I laughed and informed her that Butler was not in the Big 12. She was thinking of Baylor. Had I kept my mouth shut, she probably could have won a lot of money. Note to all of you--apparently basketball conference knowledge does not equate to bracket selecting ability!

Their website has a countdown, which officially freaks me out and motivates me to go on runs most nights! So far my farthest run has been 3.5 miles in 30:45. Not great.....but I'm getting there! Cross your fingers that in 32 days, I will be able to do the full 7.5!
West Virginia Miners The prior blog was sad enough, but the tragedy got even worse. The four missing miners for whom they were searching for and hoping against hope they would find alive in the mine's refuge chamber were found dead. In all, 29 miners lost their lives in the worst mining disaster in our nation's history. These are 29 fathers, brothers, sons, cousins, friends..... Please continue to keep these families in your prayers.
