Where will Pork Chop Go?

Well, the stock show is over. It was a busy 3 days. In the end, Presley made the sale and Little Pork Chop was sold. Her Mom and Dad had a hard time last night explaining to a 7 year old that Pork Chop wouldn't be coming home with them. The hardest part is telling her where he's going without telling her where he's going.

We went to dinner afterwards and she was in tears... Broke my heart... She didn't understand how he was going to be okay without her - He was used to her taking care of him. They told her that Pork Chop, Daisy and Jazmin's pig were all going to play together in the big trailer. By the end of dinner she was better, but there were tears a couple of times.

Skip forward to Sunday. Mom is making lunch for everyone - she has chicken out - not sure what she wants to make. She wanted to do pork chops and sausage, but felt that was not appropriate for today. We all agreed. Best not cook pork chops for a little girl (and little boy) who just sold their precious "Pork Chop" to a butcher!

All in all, it's been a great experience. Trenton told us his Daddy is buying him a new pig and he's going to call him "Bacon." Little Trenton just doesn't get it. One day he will understand, but at 3, it's all too cute!Farewell Pork Chop!

MARCH BIRTHDAYS

Happy Birthday Uncle Ray, Aunt Lynda, Melissa and any relative I may have missed!

I called Melissa this morning, buecause believe it or not, after all of these years, I still get the day mixed up - It took me almost 40 years to use the date association - March 6.... It's 3 (March) x 2 - 6 (day)

She told me there was nothing happy about it, but here is what I have to say. My dear cousin, what can be so bad when you've been 19 for 20 years! If only I had thought of that. You look great, but you still can't buy a drink?!? And what happens next year when your daughter turns your age? I won't share our memories with everyone online. Some things are best kept secret! Love you!

It's SPRING - Well Almost

The weather is changing a little, but with no rain, the grass isn't nearly as green as I'd like it to be.

Dave and I will be entering our first Cook-off of the year this weekend. Should be fun. There weren't many teams at this one last year (so the guy said), and it will be great practice for the Cameron Show in April.

It's Happy Hour night. I am looking forward to it. This has been one long week.

How about the little Cowgirl??? She's really good on that horse!

Here's the little Cowboy... He realized his legs aren't long enough for the stirrups.
