It’s Sunday evening and church has started. So what am I doing writing you ask? Why am I not in a pew listening and worshiping? I’ve managed to get myself sick.
Skipped church? Woe is me!
Honestly, I’ve been fighting a cold back for the last couple of days and this morning I woke up coughing my lungs across the room. “Pot Pie! Put my lung down! Here boy… here boy!
This day has been one to remember… hack… hack, hack.
Packing lung particles into a fanny pack, I moped off mid-morning to help herd a trailer full of bulls into catch pens. They must be in Ocala today for the sale this week. My wife and Brit would soon head down highway 301 toward the sale, leaving me tending the old ranch solo-style… hack… hack, hack.
Just about the time we said our goodbyes and I headed back to the house to die on the couch, this trailer full of bulls went berserk! If you think one little squirrel made a major commotion in a church one Sunday morning, imagine twenty-thousand pounds of beef wrecking havoc on an aluminum stock trailer!
Did I mention the rain began to fall? Double hack… hack, hack. Risking electrocution, I broke out every power tool available and began attempting to rebuild a trailer… full of bulls. That made them even happier!
Anyway, I just received the phone call from Ocala… my wife, Brit, and a trailer full of angry Black Angus bulls (with one polled Hereford) arrived safely at the sale. Pray someone buys these beasts! If not, the whole saga starts all over again.
Hack… hack, hack. Possum! Bring my lung back!

We must have been feeding at the same trough. Does God give you credit if you stay home, but buy the C.D.?
I do hope so… I’ll find out tonight. 🙂 Hope you’re feeling better. Thanks for stopping by and blessings
An old Chinese doctor gave us the best recipe ever for colds and coughs. I have seen it work marvels. It certainly cures the symptoms, even though the cold will run its course. No stuffy heads or nose runs and no coughs!
Pour a mug of CocaCola and add a heaped teaspoon of grated fresh ginger. Microwave it and drink hot.
I am definately writing that one down! Thanks for the good info Angela! Blessings
As a vegetarian do you realize how hard it was for me to click the follow button…hahaha…I love the funny twists in life…blessings to you and yours…be encouraged!
🙂 Blessings to you also… Thanks!
🙂
Be encouraged!
Oh my goodness, get better soon. Hope you sell them beasts.
Thanks friend! Feeling much better now!
I have learned in situations in such as yours it is always best to find the humor and it sounds like you did. Hope you are feeling better. I have been battling a cold myself and have coughed my lung up a couple times in the last few days.
I am feeling much better now good friend! Hope the same for you. Blessings
I am feeling better…finally got my voice back! Have a great rest of the week and a great weekend! Blessings
Oh my heck! Hope your lung pieces meld back to whence they came. Glad the bull riot was short lived, too. Running with the bulls on 1/2 a lung is just, well, a disaster waiting to happen…………… and yes, praying for a quick sale at a good price!
This is now my new bestest favoritest saying… “Oh MY Heck!” Thanks good friend and blessings!
🙂 Hope the past week has found you in much better health!
I am sorry you are sick.I Will pray.
Thank you very much Pastor J! Blessings
Hope you are feeling better today.
I stayed home today for the same reason. Hack hack.
This thing seems to be running amuck everywhere. Hopefully, your chest still holds possession of your lungs. 🙂 Blessings good friend.
May your lungs be restored and your herd sold! Thank the good Lord, Jesus can do anything!
God bless you, Mike!
Thank you much Deidre! Blessings to you today!
I don’t know about a sale since you missed church…lol, I used to believe that way. But that was way back two or three weeks ago. Great post.
So long ago, good friend! 🙂
Good one!Just wanted to say, you’ve become an inspiration and joy to read. I have nominated you for my Blog of the year. Thank you. I pray you have a great year!
Thank you very much good friend! We are humbled by your nomination. Blessings!
Beautiful photo; I have never ever seen Black Angus steer, or a ranch like yours, either. You’re a good writer. Enjoyed your post though you were sick then.
Technically it’s not ours… we’re just caretakers, but it’s easy to get caught up in the place. 🙂 Thanks and blessings…
Funny post!
Prayers for your good health my friend!

Thanks Greg!
MT SWEAT, funny stuff. Hope you feel better. – Jane
Thank you. I’m confident it runs its course with time.
I’m sure, but it’s still unpleasant while it lasts.
P.S. THANKS so much for purchasing my novel, IN THE SEVENTH DAY. I hope you enjoy it. You’ll likely find it a ‘tough’ read. – Jane
LOL; and oh so sorry…
Thanks Carley! For laughing with… and at. 🙂

Anytime!
