New Year Milking Cows at the Farm.

It is the first year that we have taken care of Uncle Greg's cows, chickens, bunnies, cats, and dog. Suzie and Lady got along fine and I was so proud of our pup -she never destroyed anything or had any accidents or mishaps. We opened our own presents down there and had a really nice family time. (all except the plumbing problems and all the sinkwater I had to bail and carry to the toilet to empty.) (the dishwasher didn't work either.. and Dan spent several nights taking apart the pipes in the basement, snaking, and pouring hot water and industrial draino down them. ) :( 
We enjoyed being the "other Rosenquists" for a week... although I am not sure I am ready to trade lives yet. I dealt with a lot of Poo- Chicken poo on eggs, cow poo on milking equipment and clothes, and Milk jugs and washing the equipment 2 times a day.
Josie washed 40 Dozen eggs one day and was in tears repeatedly but she earned some good hard cash from her Uncle Greg. :)
