Night out involves 4H or FFA.....that happens alot around here.
I LOVE goin to the auction...........woooooo at the tingles!!!!
Never washed each other off with the pressure washer.....have used the garden hose...and dunked in the creek or stock tank a few times tho.
Baked ham, beans, tater salad, peach cobbler..taken to the cowlot to feed the hired help......
Picnic.......that requires a blanket.....nope..we eat off the tailgate.
I've mended more fences and britches than I care to recall.
filters, tires, overalls, chains, belts, lights, cables, spark plugs or shotgun
shells: Yeap..been there done that. If "Farm", "Ranch", "Country", "Cowboy" or "Antique" ain't in the magazine name...it don't come home with me.
Yeap I always end up with a "farmer's tan"
If you ever went on a date to the bull sales: Ohhhh that'd be a cool date.
Nope never used a radio to call Mr Lilly to supper...but have used the truck horn...or step outside and whistle real loud.
Have been to a few dinners that involved Cattle and horse talks.
Our drive is a windy twisty road thru the woods.
Mailbox is in town.
Them round metal stock water tanks make great kiddy pools.
Daily paper gets eat by the dog if not gathered shortly after it's thrown.
We actually have a lawn......lol that we let the horses in to graze.
Lots of machinery......but none of it is worth as much as my house.
If the neighbor's house is best NOT VIEWED at all.
Directions to the house......include tanks, an old dairy, and a big pine tree with red paint on it.
No tractors with radios.
Barns are storage sheds....whucha talkin bout? LOL
Travel is measured in minutes and miles.
Farm equipment has no global position on em....I like to get lost if I possibly can...that way no one can find me :wink:
Hubby askin can you help me....means he's gonna be under it....and wants me to sit inside it and try to disypher what he's mumblin while he's under there.
Plan your vacations around farm shows or calving or you won't get a vacation at all.
Grass stain = already been run thru the cow.....much harder to get out than a regular grass stain.
But but......cow med bottles fit so well in the door shelves.
Truck color is three tone...third color is cow poop or mud.
If you use newspapers to help keep the kitchen floor clean: Is there a helpful hint from Heloiuse that I've missed?
Oh it's only a little mud..........well.....it is only mud..it'll wash.
Vice grips.....usta hafta use those to change the TV Channel by rotatin the antenna.
Windows get washed with the water hose or pressure washer.
No Cats in my laundry basket....
Dinner is the noon meal...and supper the evenin meal.
I don't shovel my sidewalk.....LOL we don't hafta do that in south east texas.
Quality time with Mr Lilly.....yeap it could include any number of wrenches.
Why's he need dress socks?...if yer wearin boots....ya can wear regular socks all the time.
Family pets ....... this aint no zoo.
"sharing a cab" means...I let Mr Lilly ride up front..instead of in the bed of the truck LOL :wink:
