Jared is home for...well almost 4 days. Patrick and I picked him up Friday morning at the KC airport.
The day started off for me at 2:30 a.m. when Jared called from the Fayetteville airport. Utter disappointment was in his voice. It seems he'd got a voicemail they'd canceled the flight from Charlotte to KC. (He went from FV to CH, then CH to KC).
I looked online, and called the 800 number I had written on his paperwork awhile back when I got his tickets. A big KUDOS goes out to Wayne who took my call and helped me sort out what was going on. It seemed they didn't have enough passengers, so had cancelled the flight. Then re-instated it. I wonder how many other passengers had frustration and were upset? Argh.
Anyway, he is home (on time for the most part) and I took 5 days off of work to enjoy the extra long weekend.
Grilled (homegrown) steaks were in order for the night. He has requested: Steak, Spaghetti and Chinese food, oh and homemade Apple Pie. :) Not in that order, either. I did pick up a watermelon as well. (Waaaay out of season, but it's a treat!)
Jared and Patrick went target practising today and later they will go fishing, two BIG things Jared wanted to do while home. I imagine they'll do more fishing and shooting before the weekend is over. :)
Kyle has to work all weekend, he forgot to even take one day off. So they are sharing my truck for the weekend. Jared's seeing a gal (plus hanging out with friends), and Kyle wants to spend time with his girlfriend.....I'm sure Jared will end up using the Dodge so they don't both have to juggle schedules.
Nessa likes zooming around the whole pasture and pestering the chickens. That girl has a bit of an attitude, at two weeks old--HA. I put a goat halter on, she got it off within an hour! She decided to kick at me twice last night....little drama queen!!
Milking is going good but I am getting less and less because Nessa is taking more. Time to separate them again!
I think her Jersey is showing...
