Well today came the big news we have been hoping for.. Our son Virgil has a new job that will take him far away from the nest.
The good news is that he will still be in the State of Colorado, at least for the time being. It has been a blessing these past few years that he has been home to help us out and with all my back surgeries he took up a lot of the work with the goats and feeding and watering, but now it is his time to shine and he has a wonderful job opportunity with a National Oil company up near Greeley,CO. So tomorrow he is moving there to start training with them as a Water Tech.
I think it will be really exciting for him and the possibility for him to be able to travel with this company will be awesome since they do business all over the world and the US.
Hard to believe that we will be empty nesters again lol. I guess I have to get used to cooking for just the 2 of us again and taking care of the dogs,cats,goats and horse. Making sure that they have water and feed.
Also I am excited to hear about the price of cattle going over $2.00 a lb, WOW I never thought that I would see prices like that ever in my life, and with the price of goat meat going up too. Now just wishing that the price of gas would go down that would be awesome.
Right now our winds here are rocking the house really hard, we have had 50mph wind gusts going all day, just hoping that the trees all stay standing and the electricity stays on this time too. It makes it seem all the colder outside with this darn wind.. YUCK.
Dorothy even says that the wind is really bad in Gunnison and they got more snow than we did so ground blizzards are a force to be reckoned with over there too. When Virgil is driving to Denver tomorrow he will have to go through South Park and that is notorious for Ground Blizzards and Icy roads not to mention all the Elk that hang out on the highway.
From where We live to Greeley is about 4 hours away, he will be working 2 weeks on and 1 week off and the company provides housing for him too. Very Nice.. Well time to get to bed. Will tell more tomorrow once I find out.
