For the last couple of days I have been under the weather. Not mild weather, but severe thunderstorm weather. My kids were all sick while we were in New York, and as soon as I got back I got my own dose. Today I decided it was time to visit a doctor. Turns out I have strep throat.... don't come too close! They gave me a shot in my tush, and the craziest thing happened. A pain, so indescribable went down my leg, and then I almost fainted. I sat down, and threw the breakfast I had managed to eat. I know... too much information... the point is, the shot seems to have worked, because I am actually sitting at a desk, not shivering, and being able to write down a cohesive story. Then we had to go to Walmart for a prescription.. let me tell you... I will NEVER go there again (for prescriptions) We had to wait 1,5 hours, and we still only have half the prescription. I can't believe we have to go back there!
Yesterday I did something I probably shouldn't have, in lieu of being sick. My neighbor let us borrow her tractor, so when I was temporarily feeling a little better, I went out and plowed our garden. It was a lot of fun. I don't know if the area is big enough, and I know it's not broken up deep enough, but I felt like a real farmer. Sometime in the near future we plan to use a rototiller to break it up some more.

Zo heeej, dat staat stoer! Dus binnenkort hebben wij een echte Texaanse boerin in de familie? Met die longhorns, die ik op Joe's blog zag erbij, komen jullie zoetjes-aan al een heel eind in de richting, grinnik.
Deze foto zal ik als je het goed vindt ook ff downloaden voor mijn familie-album.

Zo voelde ik mij ook toen wij in Wiesel voor de eerste keer gingen hooien. Nadat het hooi keurig in balen was verwerkt reed ik er met de tractor met aanhanger langs waarna de hulptroepen in de vorm van Papa, Emma, Mirjam en Henk Heinrichs de balen op de aanhanger wierpen waar weer iemand anders ze netjes op elkaar stapelde. Uiteindelijk belandden ze op de hooizolder bij Jan en Monique en hebben hun paarden er lekker van gesmuld. 't was een leuk avontuur.

Quite descriptive, creative writing - you made me laugh about a not at all funny subject. So glad you are over it!
