Grandpa shared that a Vietnamese tradition was to have a memorial meal to honor the deceased 40 days after passing. Andrew and I hosted Mom’s memorial meal.

We got some measurable snow today.
It’s that time of year…bull sales! When fencing this summer, Andrew noticed the neighboring herd that was next to our herd… He found out that they sold bulls, since Andrew liked the look and shape of the cattle, he picked out a bull and Grandpa was able to bid on it yesterday, Grandpa also bought one for himself.
Rosette babysitting the new bulls.
Our bull, a bit flighty … I still like the very calm British White bulls we bring in a bit more.
The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why. – Attributed to Mark Twain
Our oldest had to plant corn 🌽… we’re all starting to get Spring Fever!
Thank you All for the kind words, beautiful cards and Mass stipends for Mom.
Grandpa needed a distraction from his sorrow, so Andrew and I went on a chore date, and he offered to babysit the three littles for us.
I am not sure where to begin to say thank you to all of those who have brought comfort and prayers to our family. Andrew and I have not needed to cook a meal in the last 4 days. So much generosity and love we have felt. The All Night Vigil was so powerful! The flowers made the funeral beautiful. Thank you dear friends and loved ones!
