Another one….

Birthday’s that is. I’ve had 50 before this one. 

Odd, I don’t feel like I am that old. You body ages but your mind thinks your still in your 20’s.

As far as birthdays go, this has been a good one. Had calls from Rome, two from Arizona and got emails and calls from lots of friends in between.

Took the old cow down to the taxidermist. They will butcher her and prepare the head and cape for mounting and about a year from now we should have the head mount. The guy is real busy. And I am in no hurry. Not for the mount anyway. But I am anxious to get the hamburger for the old girl. She raised me 17 calves in the past 17 years, but came up open this fall.

Fed with the team today. Supposed to get cold tomorrow night and the next day. Then warm up into the 40’s. Woo hoo! Bring it on!

  1. Well, happy birthday! I didn’t realize you were in between Kevin and me. I turned 51 in Oct. and he’ll be 51 in March. 51 was easier than 50. And ‘half century’ really sounds old!

    So, why are you having a cow mounted?

  2. I have always wanted a head mount of one of my longhorn cows. this cow has the prettiest rack of any I have ever been around. The guy who does the taxidermy’s father wanted one of my old Scottish Highlander cows so we made a deal. I gave him the cows head and he had to pay for this one. Good trade, huh?

    Thanks Liz! It was a good one. Tho’ maybe too fattening!

  3. You wear it well! So I am guessing 50 is good! I always remember your birthday…it is the same day as mom’s….

    Happy Birthday!

  4. HAPPYY BIRTHDAY(belated). As far as I can tell, age is a state of mind. Think young, be young. With ranch life there are lots of reasons to think young.
