It's all about the process...

8/09/06 - 4th Day - Morning. Tired and very sore this morning. We have had company here pretty solidly over the last couple of weeks. Monday evening some folks stopped by to "check us out". Unhappily, they behaved abominably and we had to ban them from the property. Too bad people cannot act like respectful and honorable people when they are guests on other's property. The fellas and I left for Austin late Monday afternoon to go help a friend who is moving from their to Snyder in West Texas. Tuesday afternoon he got a big rental truck and we loaded up all of his household goods (he lives upstairs of course). It took about 4 hours in the heat, but we got it done. We drove back home and got here in time to do our regular 2nd day evening tradition. We went out to Hord's Creek Lake to swim and then went to the DQ for .99 handburgers. My email had stacked up, so I was up until midnight answering email.

Up at 4:30 this morning to milk Ami. We did a little better this morning, though we still didn't get much milk. It will get better as I learn what I am doing. With the moving and the swimming I am tired and very, very sore. Some donations came in while I was gone, so we are about 1/3 of the way to what we need to drill the well.

I have a lot of writing to do today, and we are still working in the root cellar. Some friends of ours are coming down for a visit today as well. Maybe more later...
