This darling little barn-cat took to me that day for some reason, and followed me/us around like a dog the whole time we were there...It tried to be a "stowaway" for the ride home!!
...did I mention I am not a cat person? 8-)
There were even 2 Easter calves born on Sunday! Two males... The one in the photo was born while we were doing the dishes... 8-)
This is Mr Farmer's grandparents' 80 year old farmhouse that will be renovated for them to live in when married.
You should see the beautiful woodwork in there!!!
It is going to be wonderful when done!!!
I am sooooo jealous!!!

Milking time!
We had never seen a "dairy parlor" and how they operate. It was very interesting! Here DH (center) is helping with evening chores... DD1 (red babushka) knows here way around this setup quite well! She really surprized us, especially since she has always hated (smelly and dirty) disliked farms...

Yup! That is me!
Someone had to "muck out" the barn after milking...
Since I chose not to do any of the milking (beyond proving, with a squirt of milk by hand, that I could), I got "voluntold" to do so...
So mucking out the barn I did! 8-)
Don't I look like a natural!?! lol!
Like the fancy boots? 8-)
Here, I am just showing you a bit of the overland flooding from the Red River that happens out our way most Springs lately... It wasn't as b
ad as last year, as this year the roads were open for me to take the normal way home from the USA... We took an alternate route going down, bit it takes more driving 
time...

... in case you are wondering, I did some more retail therapy on the way home... Mill End Textiles in Fargo, and Joann's in Grand Forks... I shall show you later what goodies I bought! 8-)
Happy stitchings!

All so romantic and exciting! That farmhouse will be HEAVEN!
Hugs - Lurline♥
What a fantastic trip Myra! DD1s new home is going to be gorgeous when renovated...I love old homes. My ds1 (9yrsold) has been doing some voluntary work on a nearby dairy here in Australia, eye opening places!
What a great weekend you had, Myra! And how exciting for DD1 to move to a dairy farm - such an adventure for her! And a great place for you and hubby to plan regular visits. I'm sure there are a ton of quilters in "dairyland" who can steer you to the best stores.
Congrats!
so exciting and a great place to move to...what a cute house, bet its going to be amazing when they are done renovating it.
oh I bet there are some wonderful quilt shops there...

Glad to hear you had such a great time. The picture with you and the cat looks great!You will have to show us pictures of the farmhouse when it is all finished.
Wow you look like a farm girl! :))
Looks beautiful and sound like a great trip!
Have a great day!
You look like a natural Myra! :-) What a fun trip!~ and shopping too!! LOL Have a happy day!
I'm so proud of you for embracing new things, and DD1 as well. I always said I'd never have children, and here I am at 45 with a 1 yr old and an 8 yr old, you know my wonderful DH of almost 10 years talked me into it:) I also added 2 more PHDs to my list this week, will put them on my list later!

How exciting!!! I have always thought I would love to have and live on a farm. 10 hours sounds like a long drive. That kitty may change your mind on being a cat person...maybe?
Looks like you had a wonderful trip . . . new experiences and all! Are you going to wear the boots tomorrow to the quilt show? Have a great weekend. - Marlene
Belated happy birthday to your DD.It seems you had fun mucking out the barn.
Wow! You really look like a genuin farmgirl..:) It does remind me, however, of an episode of "Dirty Jobs" haha!!
The pic of you and the cat is really nice. (It's said that cats are attracted to none-cat people)
I hope DD will be very happy with her farmer in that great house!
ooo I saw the milking photo and thought you might have popped over to our little town without letting me know. Love the boots. Cows over here don't have the pleasure of spending much time in sheds so not much mucking out which could be a good thing. Better go wash my hubby's milking clothes.
