Due to things in my life going on I have been offline for sev. days.
1) Mom - drs
2) Neighbors - husband w/congested heart problems/needing help w/icy walks & helping getting him up and down
This I do not like but she insists he is not going to nursing home because he would give up
3) Helping others scramble for hay as hay had been stolen in my area, I lost ~15 bales so had to recoup some incase I may need it..
4) WENT SNOWMOBILING yesterday
I thought I would go ahead an sell mine as no one was taking me - and my SIL & his dad came and with my Grand daughter (her first long ride) we had a blast...so nope snowmobiles stay....

SO NOW I have been having a "cow" not literally not being able to find time to get on line - .....I realize how this is such alife line to me

Enough of my rambling on that

Glad you are back but you sound like a wonderful daughter and what a sweet earthly angel you are to your neighbor.
I have a good friend, I love her and she would come over everyday to help me with Carmelo because I had no idea of nursing and she knew what to do. She taught me so much.
That is so terrible they are stealing your hay.
How fun to snowmobiling. lol nope snowmobiles stay.
Hugs,
Judy

I'm so glad you decided to keep the snowmobiles. If you loved riding them with your hubby, you still would love to ride even though it will have to be with other people now. I have the same issue with our 4-wheelers. They were our greatest joy when we had time off work or when we were camping where 4-wheeling was allowed. The 4-wheelers are sitting with no use now for 2 years. It will take a ton of $ to get them running again, but I'm NOT getting rid of them. Our whole family loves to ride. Glad you made the decision that you did. We can still have some joy!!

I sold my snowmobile and trailer as that is a sport we did together. I miss doing that is is so fun and peaceful. If you have family to ride with enjoy them. That is an event your grand daughter will remember for a long time.

I grew alfalfa hay on and off when I was farming and theft would occur occasionally. They steal hay because it is out where it can be taken without anyone seeing them. The cost is pretty high now but was cheap when I grew it and it was taken also then. Welcome back. Snowmobiling is fun. I haven't done it for 40 years.

Nicker-You wouldn't be able to snowmobile in Wisconsin this year we have had so little snow. Glad you are back on line! Hugs

That sounds like a blast. I've never been on a snowmobile. Spending time with family is a blessing too. It's always more important than spending time here. But it's nice to hear from you too.
