Sorry for the outburst folks, but sheesh - where does the time go???? Seems like just a few weeks ago that I was buried under 3 feet of snow in Pennsylvania.

Yeah, I can't believe it either. I work in a school office so I have to go back to work next week! It seems like just a couple of weeks ago I was making big plans for what I wanted to accomplish over the summer. I didn't get much done. Never do.

It's winter here in Sydney, Aus ... I am busy yelling "roll on summer" still! Except I'll prolly have moved on by then, somewhere promising like Antartica. *shivers*

But yeah, this whole August thing has snuck up on me. I hate how the time I've lived already weighs heavy, so that time yet to come moves more quickly. What happened to the months and months of summer holiday I used to enjoy as a little'un in England..? (All 6 weeks of it.)

Proving that Doc really knows how to roll up his sleeves and work! Nyuk. (sorry, an "inside" rancher joke). Doc, do you think the un-informed really want to know??????

Put it this way: no ultrasound on the range.

I know what you mean - the older we get the faster time goes. OTOH, look at it this way - getting old may have its drawbacks but it does beat the alternative.

What Chuck, you mean getting younger?

Heck, I'd go for that.

Who was it that recently said "Growing old isn't for sissies." ?

Oh my aching back. And knees. And hands. And.....

That's exactly the phrase I use when folks complain about upcoming birthdays, etc. My thought is- it's better to be having birthdays than not be able to.

All the Best

So Doc do you use the "special" glove or go "naturale". Just don't forget to take off your watch, trust me. Ahh! fond memories of childhood. Ranks right up there with the smell of a dehorning iron in use.

Last Friday I took my older son to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things he needed for a camping trip. He saw the big display in the front of the store with all the notebooks, pencil boxes, etc. and just fell to pieces! Back to school sale! The poor kid.

Ahhh yes....... I know the feeling........- of course if you're lucky it's cows and not heifers, and if you're VERY lucky, it's dairy cows and not beef cows.
