Explain the Mileage

The loan company and insurance want an explanation of the mileage.
It was 42,000 when I got the truck and it's 98,000 at the time of the accident. From Mother's Day 2 years ago to Christmas, was about 18 months.

That's a lot of miles

My explanation.....

I live in Washington State. I'm 3 hours from the ocean, 2 hours to the mountains and 3 hours to BC Canada. I have a horse and I trail ride. I have a grandson that loves to go fishing with me. I have grandchildren in 3 different directions from where I live and all are within an hour.
I have kids that need to move sometimes, and family over the border.

Ocean Shores @ the Beach.

I hope that explains the mileage.

Sincerely

Grama.

Blessed by God

Life's good @ the Bright side of the Barn

Thanks for stopping by

Until next time, Stay safe and Happy Trails.

Spring Carton colors

I had to have them when I first spotted them in the catalog. The clear round ones are 6 packs, the others are a stack of 3 different colors for a dozen. Makes you think of spring!
I believe I have labels getting delivered tomorrow, and baby chicks the first week of February. By fall I should have 28 laying hens :} and hopefully 3 ducks laying eggs.
Recycling will definitely be encouraged. They are just to pretty to throw away!

I am going to have to break down and build a chicken house and some sort of overhead material on their yard. Got to keep the Eagles away and make sure they get plenty of outside time. The barn needs cleaned! and poor Joey {the goat} he had chicken poop on his ear this afternoon.

As much as goats love water {not} I'm not able to give him a bath, so he had to settle for a face wash. Such a silly boy. People had a hard time taking care of my goats while I was in the hospital and housebound. Joey is like a guard dog and very protective of me. He would raise his fur and get on his hind legs. He stands over 5 feet tall and weighs at least as much as I do. He's never hurt anyone. He just likes to act tough

I love my goats. They are now 16 months old and growing like crazy. Looking back on the baby pictures, their ears haven't changed. They have gotten bigger heads but the ears didn't get any longer. They were such cute babies.....
