Typical Saturday?


I started out the day getting a mattress from a garage sale for Mandy. Of course I had to then go garage saling for a bit. On my way home I stopped at Orschlen's to get started feed and pine shavings since my new chicks are to arrive anytime starting Monday. (By the way, I put the 'fancy' chicks on Craig's List and they sold in a couple of hours. The lady is picking them up on Monday. YEA!! No more crowing.) While I was there I noticed that all their remaining chicks were 75 cents each. I called Steve and told him to call Ken (chicken man from church to let him know) Steve convinced me we needed chicks at this great price. I reminded him that 15 chicks were soon arriving, but he still wanted cheap chicks. So I picked up 5. Getting home I had to section off an area in the coop for the new 5 (they would be too big to put with the upcoming 15).

Of course the grandkids had to come up to see the new chicks, but especially to see Grandpa's new toy. Emmy was more into drawing chicken pictures, while Reed enjoyed the 4-wheeler as much as possible. Although I did notice that Grandpa and Trevor had to 'show' Reed how to ride the 4-wheeler for a rather long time.
