Hey Lori!!! Been missing ya! What are they saying about your dad?? My dad has had stents put in etc and my MIL went through the same thing back in Feb. As for the barn quote, holy COW!!! but I can see that with the inflation and the price of building materials skyrocketing. We had a guy building a 1500 sq ft house the other day come in with a $170,000 quote..way over what it will even appraise for but they claim the materials are soooo high. Ugg on the colic--been there and done that! Glad Tongo got through it!! We have a visiting horse (been here for almost a month)--an older barrel horse that needed some major tlc and DD has done wonders..now DH is telling me that it is going to be hard to send it back to its owner and they are wanting to sell her anyway..hmmm wonder what he is getting at??? Bad part is she ran her in a show a couple of weeks ago and ran a 16 on her..we were just sitting there with our mouths gaped open. Taking her again this weekend and next weekend and then I guess we will make a definite decision--he told DH a price but we thought he was a little too high considering she is pushing 20 and we have been nursing her back to health for the past 4-6 weeks FREE for him. Hoping he is going to reconsider when he looks at her next weekend and sees what DD has done--who knows though--may cause price to go up!!! We have steel posts with the rope fence in front of our house and then at my in-laws we have T-posts with the rop fence. It was affordable! Now my perfect pasture would be the white wooden fence but that is for another lifetime..LOL!!!!

Lizzy...glad you are having some fun in the sun!!! Sounds like wedding went pretty well with the exception of the switching up???

April...yum!! fish fry!!!

Alrighty--better get my butt in gear and take a shower...dragging this morning! It went down in the 50's last night and it is just enough chill to put me in slow motion.
