    sunday morning drove in fashionably late.gary at the stove. marie and chris at books and paper with gary directing as he flipped the bacon. i made the 2nd pot of coffee, and put in my 2 cents where ever. carmen wandered in with cinnamon rolls to die for. i did my best grandpa imitation , had one cold and another 10 seconds in the microwave. scrambled eggs and 4h bacon. may be best bacon ever have to add lard to it to cook it all meat.went to do some chores. chris loading up his new 4 wheeler to take feed out to his calves. going to have a tuff time cause some of the calves are as big as the mommas . crib feeding will be a challenge .sandy  getting the blues up in the north country. don't think there is enough sunshine.  if anyone has an inclination drop her a note.
