Sorry that I have not been on in so long, this past couple of months are always hard for me to get through. I can never seem to be in the Spirit for Thanksgiving and Christmas, heck we have even gotten to the point that we don't even celebrate Christmas anymore, I don't even put the tree up or anything, how sad is that??
We have had a pretty dry winter so far, which is not good. We need all the snow we can get, just for the moisture to get us through the summer. We have had some huge wind storms and they are predicting more for us this week with 90+ mph winds and lots of trees being blown down, plus South Park, Colorado having ground blizzards which can be very dangerous.
Our daughter Dorothy headed back to College last week at Western State College in Gunnison, she loves it over there and loves her school. She is planning on attending Summer classes over there this year too for part of her study of Anthropology and Forensics that way she can work on one of the Colleges dig sites that they have going there in Gunnison.
Virgil has been applying for jobs all over the state and the country now too, still trying to find a job. He thinks he finally got one working for National Oilwell Varco, this sounds really promising, last week he had to drive to Denver to go for a full physical with them and drug test, they are just waiting on the results to come back, the lady told him that once they get the results then they will get all of the paperwork finished up and that he will either be working in Greeley, Colorado or somewhere in Utah. That sounds pretty exciting for a young guy working in the oil and gas industry which is what he wants to do. Hopefully things are starting to come around.
I am just trying to save up the $$ to get tires on my car and pay bills, that is a real struggle on limited income in these trying times. Everyone thinks if you work for the state that you get paid well. Well I can tell you first hand that it sucks!! They have not had a pay raise in over 5 years and that the last 2 years they have had to take pay cuts, and seen their insurance and everything else increase. Sorry to be such a downer. Good news is I have a new camera and I am going to start taking some pictures again of our beautiful country around here, taking pictures always cheers me up and I hope that you all enjoy them too.
Oh yes and very soon we will have the pitter patter of little hooves running around again in our pastures lolo Most of our goats are bred and due in March and April this year. They are so precious and so much fun to watch. I will keep everyone posted.
Talk to you all later
