I love it here...

This is why I LOVE this place.

No, not to lay sod.
What I love about this place and these people is that there is never a job done alone.
Everything we do around here is done together.
And the best part...everyone loves to be around each other!
A little while ago we dug a big trench for the new water line coming in.
Well, all the yards needed some grass replacement.
So that was on the agenda today.
They also clipped Chester's toenails....


I know it might look mean...but he had toenails that could win him a spot in the Guinness book of World records. So they had to be clipped. And even though Chester is old...he is strong. It was fun to watch five fully grown men hold a little pony down. Chester was very happy to have them done and clipped.

Elsie had a blast hanging out with Grandma.
It was fun watching the goats and feeding the Mama's.
Elsie sure loves it here.

It was too rainy to ride Strip today...but we HAVE to fit it in tomorrow!!!

Today was Grandma Eastman's funeral. It turned out to be a beautiful service. So many loved ones there...so many great memories. She was such a great person.

It started out to be a terrible morning. Hail storms...freezing cold. We got to the church, had the service...and as we went outside to go to the graveside, the clouds opened up and it was just beautiful. Perfect weather for the graveside service. Grandma would have been very pleased with how the day went. She was such a great person and has left such an amazing legacy behind.

We love you Grandma Eastman.

I'm reading this and looking out my window at the snow. Sure hope you get to ride Strip. At least the snow will be good for the sod. Glad you were able to come to WY:)

Sorry for the reasons you had to go visit, but happy for you and your family to be there with family and fun farm animals! That picture of them holding the pony down to trim the hooves is kinda funny. Good thing he's a small pony!
