February 1, 2021

 2021. I haven't written that much yet. It will pry take me 6 months to get use to it. Oh well. I am very determined to get this out on time this month so here we go. New Years Day found us at Darrell's for the afternoon and supper enjoying New Years cookies and beaver tails. The Dorking girls  and Jay's where there as well and we had great fun making many memories playing Dutch Blitz.  The 2nd Carissa and I left our children and went to Costco for groceries. The week of the 4th was an extra week off school for us. The 10th Jay's came for dinner and we served apple fritters and hot chocolate out of our garage for the congregation. A couple of people from St Mary's as well. We had tons of fun and really enjoyed seeing everyone as we are on lockdown again. The 11th we started homeschooling for un unforeseeable future. In the evening Kelly told me to town for groceries. The 12th I took the children sledding at Darrell's in the afternoon. The 13th we got out first baby calf. Plan on getting a few more. The 17th we had Jay's and Darrell's for a pizza supper. The 18th we got another calf and Kelly took me to town for groceries. The 23rd we had to take some paperwork to Kevin's so we drove to Meaford to see them. The 25th we got another calf this is a red calf. We have named them all so far. Freddy, Timothy, and Billy. So chores morning and evening now have to be done. The 26th was grocery night again. The 23rd Kelly had an appointment in Kitchener so we all went along. I picked up 4 baby chicks on the way home. I'm starting my own laying hens. Going to get a few different breeds and will have a few different colored eggs.  The 28th Miss Gingrich came for supper. The 29th we had a lawyer appointment for land up in Alberta. The 30th we spent the afternoon in the shop cleaning up and getting ready for more baby chicks. We plan on getting 100 chicks to raise to layers then sell. They start coming in a week or so. The 31st we went to church in the morning and Uncle Gilbert came for lunch. We went skating for a bit before supper as well.  I think that finishes up this month. Still homeschooling and have a things humming along with that. The teacher comes every other day so that is a HUGE help. I to run to make supper now. Till next time.......
