A reprieve for our WOOFERS!!

Good Morning world, I’m back. It’s always fun to give the WOOFERS a chance to air their thoughts on the diary and they do such a good job. I think it is definitely one of my better ideas…I had it in the shower…I have a lot of my best  ( I think!!) ideas in the shower. What will we do when the a team leave?
Actually, another of my shower inspirations came yesterday morning, the team had really worked hard in the hay field so yesterday was designated a light duty day. My idea brought big (bigger) smiles on the weary faces as they munched breakfast. How about we do chores…then take a road trip to Goodwill. So there we all expectantly jammed into the truck, purses gripped in sweaty palms ….and someone had stolen Goodwill!!! There it was, just a pile of mucky rubble and not a bargain in sight. A quick panic phone call to a friend in the know, (another Goodwill addict) and before Greg  had the chance to change our plans the Chevi had been redirected to the new Goodwill location. Happy smiles were restored to anxious faces as we extricated ourselves from the truck and trooped into the store. Greg returned for his “all shopped out” charges to find several sacks of booty and happy WOOFERS.A certain male member of the team who isn’t called Greg but will remain nameless bought himself a new pair of trousers….I will refrain from commenting further and I sincerely ( really ??) apologise for my initial reaction…but in my defence, a photograph will be posted for any reader who feels a comment appropriate! Back to the ranch, Molly and Dolly are still holding out and our team of butt watchers who have worn the grass by the pasture fence into a bed of mud have apparently resigned themselves to a long wait. As soon as there is some news we will update the site, promise.

Just when the WOOFER A team thought they were done, a good friend of ours who had reserved some of our hard won hay turned up to collect his bales. Unbelievably, the team jumped into action again and before the animals had eaten their evening grain ( which is pretty quick) they were back to complete evening chores.
Lovely to see Mum J yesterday looking all well and beautiful again.
Time to get back to work, take care keep safe, M

OH NO, you didn't really take Derek to a Goodwill store? You definitely made his day, and Lesley's too, I'm sure...I can only imagine the smiles. Can't wait to see picture of Greg's pants : )
