Last night didn’t go as planned. First on our way to VBS the Car started making a very awful sound. Turns out the Air Compressor or the Air Compressor klutch went out. Mom had to limp it back to town since all the pullys are on one belt. Dad came and got me so I wouldn’t miss the last rodeo before Regionals. To bad I was late and missed step down because of a flat on the trailer. Everytime something happens Dad gets mad. Mom on the other hand says that these things that happen are just life and we have to learn to deal with them as life happens.
By Morning things were back to normal except Mom had to get a ride to work from one of her friends. Dad and I did chores before we headed to the sale barn. Everything went normal until there was a little 45lb calf that came through that no one wanted. The price dropped down to 10 bucks and I couldn’t let it go. Every life is worth way more then 10 dollars. I ended up buying it and that made Dad mad, which made me up set so I called Mom. Mom told Dad that we would talk about it when we all got home. That turned out about normal and I had to laugh. First Mom got this look. It is one Dad and I know well. Then she talked. Dad didn’t get to really say anything and Mom ended the way she always does when it comes to a difference of our Beliefs. “Have you forgotten God’s job for humans?” That was it. Dad took one look at Mom with that look on her face and well, let’s just say he remembered really fast who are and what we do. At that point Mom said Dad had two choices. He could help us or he could get out of the way and her and I would do it without him. After that Dad said he was looking at things wrong and asked what we needed him to do. Mom made him call around and find the parts for the car and get them ordered while her and I went to town to get everything we needed to save Marshall. (that is what I named the little guy) When we got back Mom made up one of her special mixtures and gave Marshall some shots and did all the stuff she just does in “Mom Mode” Even Penny got in on the act.
We ended our day with supper after putting the last of the hay bales in the barn before it rains tomorrow. I am so happy with my Calf and I know Mom will save him. World Please Welcome Marshall to the place…..
