3 floods, 2 calves dead, beef prices have plummeted, watched, worried and cried as my twin suffers thru radiation and chemo and fights brain and esophageal cancer diagnosed July 2015. He's doing better, just had his 2nd brain surgery 14 days ago and is up home, travelling a bit, and pretty much back to normal.
But it beats the alternative. A year ago this afternoon, I was waking up from a quadruple heart bypass surgery.

Geesh Greybeard... that is a whole lot of "everything" to go through in just one year.
Quadruple heart bypass ... see I always knew ya had a heart! ;)

In all seriousness
Very very happy to hear your brother is doing well! And very happy to know you are too.
The farming aspect sure has it's ups and downs- but you've been there done that before... your health and your loved ones - well that is another thing altogether.

:hugs:hugs :hugs


Have a soft heart for you greybeard. I am the daughter of a marine and so that makes you special in my book! You have my utmost respect. Blessings to you and your family!

You have certainly had a challenging year. Prayers and best wishes to your twin. Glad you have that bypass behind you! Fall is here, weather is better, hopefully no more floods headed this way and especially hope that stinkin' hurricane that's out there is going to make that sharp turn to the north like the forecasters keep saying. Sure hope things turn around for you and your twin and all the family members that love and care for ya'll.

I think you have had more than your share of trials in the last year. Here's hoping that that is all behind you and that there are brighter times on the horizon. Glad that your twin is doing well.

That sharp turn isn't looking good for us
I don't normally track them that far away but I have a bad feeling about this one
We are over due and I'm not prepared
Due to where it formed and the turn north the media is comparing it to Hazel which crushed NC

Let's hope it goes further east

Oh boy, I was thinking it was just going to head north and then east and away from all land. Sure hope it doesn't head your way... :fl

A few years back I sold my big stock trailer... sometimes I wish I still had it. I could put ALL my critters in it and haul butt outta here. Really hope it doesn't head your way... or anyone else's way. If I ever pull up stakes and move - it'll be a few hundred miles inland...sigh.
