Today I went on a road trip with neighbor Melissa. We headed out to the Mohrfield Holstein dispersal in Pleasant Plain, OH. Of course, it isn't easy for mothers to put their households in order enough to get away for a day. Case in point.....our original time of departure was 6:30 am, but a frantic phone call from Melissa at 6:45 pushed that back to 7:20. My crew was happy with that because there was time to make hot breakfast instead of the planned cold cereal.
Safely on the road with our coffee in hand, off we went....I am not sure we ever stopped talking. What fun to share a fun day with a good friend. We covered every subject we could and then some! Cell phone calls from our hubbies were the only interruption from our nonstop brainstorming on how to change the world.
This was not a quick trip either and due to our late departure we actually arrived an hour into the sale. Never fear though, there were still plenty of pretty cows and heifers to watch and imagine them on our own farms. I was hoping to pick up a 2007 heifer for Suzanna to add to her little (2 head) herd, and Melissa was on a mission for a specific cow family. We were shot down, however, as the prices were a bit over our budgets. But that really didn't matter, we were out to have fun as well.....and we accomplished that.
As we arrived home, the plotting was underway for our next adventure....not too soon or our families might never let us out together again. Thanks for all the fun Melissa!!!!!
