Anniversary, Old Friends, Wood Floors, Olympics and Baby Calves

Happy Anniversary to Kyla and Jed---four years. They celebrated Thursday by having dinner at Shoji's and Emmy stayed with Gram and Grandad for the night.

The maple flooring for the family room, kitchen, dining room was delivered Friday and Brian helped to unload most of it before taking off to Bend for the "Home Boy Olympics". From what I can tell....at least what he divulges to his mom, is that he and a bunch of other guys have gotten together for the past 3 years and team up in two's to compete in various "sport" activities. Those include golfing, pool playing, horse shoes, running, beer guzzling, etc. All I know is he came home with a hat that says "Home Boy Olympics" on the front and "Ugly" on the back. The other guys said that they knew Brian would look the best in his because he wears his hats backwards most of the time.

Saturday I had lunch and a long visit with a childhood friend, Jody Lewis, at Marie Calenders then made it home just as another Baker friend arrived , Susan Rich with her daughter Allison. Jed and Emma joined us for a swim for a couple of hours and then we BBQ'd chicken and had a good visit.

Sunday morning three baby calves were delivered and I mean babies! Two of them are 6 weeks old and the other is only 2 weeks old. That means we are bottle feeding twice a day for quite a while. They are really cute.....naming was pretty easy. Oreo is the baby....he is black and white. Buster is the middle sized one and Brutus is the largest, named for how aggressive he is.....he tries to eat his and all the others milk. Farmer wannabe Dave has to get up an hour early every morning to help feed because there is just one too many for me to do by herself. Well it looks like we are tied down for a while now!
