New Calf

Well we had some excitement today. Red Cow finally had her calf. A red one!

 Fresh outta the chute.

 Standing.

 Falling.

 Standing again.

 Here he is all dry. A bull calf.

I don't know if you can tell from this picture, but right now he has blue eyes. Cool. I don't know if that will change, but I suspect it will. Gonna call him Poco Rojo (little red) for now and in two years we're gonna call him, Yummy! Adios muchachos.

Sally's coming to town

My sister Sally and her husband are coming to visit next week. They'll be here on Monday. Since Gramma uses the spare bedroom for an office, I've been working on cleaning the basement and making a place for them to sleep.

 No I haven't made the beds yet. Put some carpet down, hung some sheets for walls and "Voila" instant bedroom.

 Put down some carpet runners. Heidi is checking it out.

 Large economy size sink.

Today I installed a toilet. First time I ever used the Pex plastic piping water lines. I'm impressed and it's much easier than copper, although you still need copper for part of it. Pretty classy huh? Just like the Hilton, or at least better than camping. Don't get any ideas, as soon as they're gone it goes back to a basement. Ciao Baby.
