Well, we got San Antonio and San Angelo shows done. The kids showed real well. First in class with the big wood feeder, and First in Class with the gooseneck Trailer, 3rd in class with their hay feeder.

I managed to get the flu....or somethin.....I've never had the flu before....and if this is it, I don't ever want it again. I feel like I been run over by a roller packer. Drive home...I didnt quite make it....made it to Brady, Tx. and had to let Mr Lilly take over for me.
I gotta get over this crud by Tuesday mornin, we leave out again for Houston. Ughhhhhh!!!!
Lil Lilly has a Barrel race tomorrow afternoon, I don't know if I'll make it or not to watch. Smart thing for me to do would be to stay home in bed. Unless of course I wake up tomorrow feelin a whole lot better'n I do right now.
They've been gone all day tryin to get 4 cows back in that had gotten out. Lost two while we were gone, got hit by the train. So now, we hafta deal with the RR.....maybe now they'll supply the fencing needed to rebuild RR fence. They are supposed to upkeep their fences, but don't. We've patched and fixed over and over again this last few weeks since the big rains, hopefully now we've got it wooped. RR usually pays for cows that get hit. All we supposedly hafta do is send them pictures...which I took. Thought I was gonna die on the train tracks. Daggum flu.

Jersey Lilly, sorry to hear about the loss of your cows, and about your miseries and humguffins. Do you feel this way all day, or just in the morning? :???: :wink:

Hope you get to feeling better fast. Have a great week at Houston.

Boy, Lilly, I know exactly how you feel. What works for me is to take some Theraflu (nice and hot), put lots of jammies on and crawl into bed. Hope you feel better tomorrow :!: If not, STAY IN BED :!: Keep us posted :)

I'm sooo sorry about your 2 cows :cry: I hope everything gets squared away with the RR :!:

Girl, you sure got the dose, don't you! We have been fortunate at our house, but some others close to us have had the same thing as you are describing.

Hope you get back to normal really soon. Don't overdo things too soon, or you could get it right back. And you don't want that, do you? :(

Lily, troubles really come in a batch, don't they. I hope you'll get the rest you need, lots of fluids and keep an eye out for possible pneumonia. No monkeying around :!:

Lilly---the very best thing for you (and EVERYONE ELSE WITHIN BREATHING DISTANCE OF YOU) is for you to stay home, in bed, and SLEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!!!! Influenza is highly contagious and we have already seen about a half dozen cases in our little hospital...nasty stuff and not much fun!! Takes anywhere from 48 hours to 14 days to recover, so give yourself time and cut yourself some slack,girl....Lord knows you deserve it!!
:D :D :D :D :D

Well dang it Lilly...I'll have to scold you like I did my kid...he gets run down by being on the go and not taking care of himself, then he gets sick...Rest Rest Rest...!
Glad to hear the kids did well at their shows...I'm sure they're relieved too! Good luck in Houstan. Hopefully Lil LIlly won't get to worn out and she gets what you got!
Sorry to hear about your cows, it's got to be frustrating when you do yur darnest to keep the fences up with no help from the RR. At least you can say that life is NOT boring at your house..lol Course we sure miss you here on ranchers...
Take care of yourself...

Couldn't help myself. I felt ok sorta, today. So....Lil Lilly hauled with another lady to the barrel race...and I waited until later in the day to go. There were 270 some runners and her draw was 197. I video'd her run, and then congratulated her...and came back home. She had a real nice run, 16.950.....here's the video.



Now....I"m goin to bed.
