Jana and I went shopping today for a bridesmaid dress for her wedding.
Her soon to be daughter and sister-in-law went along and we had a wonderful time. After three dresses and assistance from Carrie - we found a perfect dress. When we took it to the register we found out it had a perfect price - over $100 dollars off the ticket value! Well - that was like a magical present to me!
We spent the remainder of the afternoon in Bismarck doing a little post-Christmas shopping with some good deals and then headed home in a snow storm. We made it back to the farm in time to get in on what so far appears to be about four inches and still falling.
The family butchered the two cows from yesterday and prepared another two for tomorrow. It looks like we have a busy weekend of BEEF ahead of us. It will be well worth it when our freezer is filled with food and our families can eat for the Winter and Spring. The best part is we know what went into our animals and what we are putting into ourselves.
It is 13 degrees above zero out there and very little if any wind so the snow falls straight down. The snow is think and heavy and full of moisture. While that means more work for Kent with having to move and pile all the snow. It is nice to have a good, old-fashioned North Dakota Winter on our hands!
