Holy cow

Today was another wonderful work day. We started the morning by sweeping the 2” of rain off the floor. After getting most of the water out we started mixing concrete to pour the ring beam for the stairs leading to the second floor. After we got the ring beam poured it was back to forming up the ring beam over the first story, and forming up the second flight of stairs leading up to the ring beam, and there is always cleaning up the concrete from mixing it on the floor; that brought us to lunch time. While in lunch I was summoned to Carla's kitchen where Papa Jeff told me he was going to look at a cow to buy and wanted to me come along and look at it with him. I told him I would go. On our way I was wondering what kind of farm we would be visiting or just going to some pasture in the middle of no where. When we pulled up to the place it had a 20 ' concrete wall around the complex. This guy was not selling the cow to pay for medical bills like we were told; we're not sure why he was selling it, but we wonder about how legit the sale would have been. While we were looking at the cow we got a phone call saying that the van had died on the way home from the clinic. After we finished looking at the cow we took off for the van. By the time we got back to the clinic they had got the van running so we returned home!
