Well this weekend is finally over.Sunday afternoon we went over to our neice Kerri`s so that our nephew Jonathan and his new wife Jessie could visit,I ended up helping Kerri put together some bunk bed`s for her kid`s.Her husband can`t even screw in a light bulb,with the direction`s written on the bulb.Anyhow we got the bed`s together in a couple of hour`s,me sweating all the time,felt like I was working out at the gym.After we finished we all went over to Kerri`s mom and dad`s then we were going to go out to eat,but you can`t ever get anyone to agree on where or what to eat .So we decided to go eat mexican food at a place that everyone said is very good.Well for some reason Bob[Kerri`s dad]was acting like he was sick,so it ended up thatKerri and her four kid`s[hubby being one of the kid`s] and Jonathan,Jessie,Brendy and I went.Monday and I can hardly move I`m so sore! Guess I over did it helping Kerri with the bunk bed`s.Well everyone wanted to go to the Messman`s dairy to take a tour.I went along ,but every one went in seperate car`s,so we get headed out and I had never been to this place but I end up leading the group.Jonathan had called the night before and got directions but he dosen`t listen very good,so I sort of know where to go so I get stuck leading.Meanwhile everyone is saying,I think we are on the wrong road,we need such and such road,your getting us lost,you know the drill,I drove right to it.Hate it when they do stuff like that.Spent the rest of the day watching everyone walking around looking at dairy cattle whoopie seen one cow saw them all.Guess I shouldn`t be that way but I was raised on a farm and been around cattle most of my life.Any way I was tired and sore so I just sat and talked to the owner of the dairy.He came to this country after WWll from Holland,he talked about all the fuss over imigration and that he think`s that they should build a wall across our southern border and deport all the illeagles back south.He had to become a citizen and he thinks that everyone that wants to come here should also.He talked about when the Germans came to his little town in Holland and basically took what they wanted.His father had a dairy and by the time the war was over they only had two cow`s left out of fifty.It just impressed me that someone be that bad off and come here with nothing but a dream and be able to do what he and his family has.Hope your weekend was good to you,think I will go to bed,maybe I can sleep all night.....well at least a few good hours.     M.
