Lazy WP Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 We made a quick trip to Longview Texas to watch my oldest granddaughter graduate from high school. She was in the top 10% of her class of 435 kids! She international bachelorette graduate. She explained that to Lisa and I only caught part of it, but it is a tough deal. she was my hired girl when we were up on the ranch. And at the time could out shoot me with her 410. it was hot down there but a beautiful stadium and a hoot to sit in the nose bleed section with proud family of all the graduates. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have been broken down up by Sandhiller or some other place hundreds of miles from the dealer that overhauled it to start out with. I worked around the house this week and between myself and a contractor, we got the barn back to nearly square. I got most of the scrap metal loaded ready to haul to town, and my Fasse valve figured out on my new to me loader tractor. Jessie is heading to College Station Texas to attend Texas A and M. Her dream is small animal vet to start with and maybe add large animals once she gets established. I have never met a more determined person!! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how a papa feels about grandkids. Got a nephew just graduated. He will be attending college in GA with the intent of becoming a vet.

I have never met a more determined person!! small s are EXTREEEEEMLY profitable with the right set up in location.location,location for large ,here the state will pay $$$$ towards many costs,to start out.but its not sustainable alone. ours, now has 6-7 on staff,just built $1m house ,near impossible to get the 3 large to come out and we know 80% of what to do. $300 min./ call and still < 50/50 success.
