Moving, Moving, Moving

I've changed my blog background, and I realize that the font is a little hard to read, but you'll just have to deal with it, so there.

We moved cattle today and it went very smoothly--only one cow jumped a fence. That is pretty darn good. We move them 1-2 miles and my job is to stop traffic at the south end, where the cows turn. I had 12 vehicles stopped on the highway on my end and Ma had seven or eight. "A" came down to help with the fun and learned how to wave her arms to scare cows. You may visit here blog here for more details and photos. You may also visit Ma's blog for a more detailed account.

Not too much has been going on in my life recently. A mouse had the nerve to get in my car and die. This is my second car, and a mouse has died in each one. I'd appreciate it if they would choose someone else's car to die in. However, the smell has finally dissipated, thank goodness. Dead mice are a hazard of living on a farm. Live ones, too, but I don't want to say that. Work continues onward and has been a bit busy for the last couple of days, but I've still had plenty of time to stay up on my T.V. shows via the Internet.

I'm excited for "So You Think You Can Dance" to start this next week. It is much better than American Idol, though I wonder what MBC will do when she is in Europe for the summer. Guess she'll just have to watch them on YouTube.

Well, that's all the fun for today. I hope all you family members participated in our 1K walk today, so that you earned your participation prizes.

I would like to report on my participation. Hubby and I did go and walk around the farmers market for a little while today, after I went and had T4-6 put back in place along with a corresponding rib. I think I get pretty good knowing my vertebrae, although today I just learned about T 4-6. Okay, I know I had a T4-6, but now I KNOW where they are (approximately). In short (okay not so short) I now know to go in to the chiro and say T4-6 are bugging me. So, back to the participation. I did dutifully call moo during the actual drive. That had more to do with calling to discuss a little of the Preakness, because one does not know the actual time of the cattle drive, if you read Mary's blog you can gather that. They were not able to see the race live, but Moo knew the outcome. Lastly, hubby and I went on additional walk around this large pond near a certain buisnesses headquarters and some other retail stores. It was a nice walk and hopefully we will not be hurting for it in the morning. I am glad to hear that there were not many misbehaved bovine. Missed being there.

Hi, Megan. It was so good to see you at the cattle drive.

Oooh, I'm sad I missed the good times.

And, yes, I'll have to get my dance fix on YouTube.

I did it! It was pure coincidence because I forgot the moo-ving date, but still! All the more exciting because I was actually running for the first time in millenia. (I'd rather move cattle than run.)

I am proud to report that I too walked the required amount. I walked approximately .75 - 1 mile to and from work (so 1.5 - 2 miles total). Later that day I ran about 4 miles - so it was like I was chasing the cows that thought about jumping the fence. I was going to call and tell you but I forgot. Thanks for the post!

One more thing: Your new background is fun. I agree that it does make the posts a little hard to read though.

I love the new background. If it didn't have the letters in the middle then it would be totally easy to read.

The moooooo-ving sounds like fun.
