We had a great lunch. My Birthday kicks off birthday week. It was a little strange this year since T started college and noone is being homeschooled. He was technically at home, but he is so busy studying that we rarely see him when he is here. He was able to finagle it so that he could go with me to meet A for her lunch break. We ended up going to Cracker Barrel and it was delicious! It ended up being a good birthday. We don't see A very much. She is either at work, her boyfriend's, or sleeping.

We did not expect 109 degrees! We did everything we could to help the farm animals deal with the heat before we left. The chickens had misters going for about 8 hours a day plus a high speed fan. We also had multiple waters and a shallow pool for them to walk around in. The misters lower the surrounding air temp by about 15 degrees. We parked the trailer in the horse pen to create extra shade for them and also added misters for them to enjoy in their favorite corner they always stand in. They all handled the heat like champs, though the horses were ready to get their cool baths when we got back. They are kind of spoiled.😁 Our first stop on T's trip was at the Fried Pie place in Arbuckle. That place makes the ...
