TRIP TO MICHIGAN

I recieved a message from my messenger who landed on my porch.. it was a message from my sister in michigan.. she was asking for me to come for a visit to see her and all of my friends to come for a family reunion. I hadn't been home in at least a year. so I packed my bags and headed out. On the flight out I thought back to the good times a few memories of my stay with the queen, and I remembered some events I had forgotten. There was the time I went to the Charlie Daniels concert with SFC Kimbley and we had the chance to hear The Devil Went Down to Georgia, and had a chance to watch the dualing fiddles. It was quite interesting, I remembered going on a detail and driving in the area where there were hardly any roads and the terrain was quite rough. There was so much to see but things were getting monotonous working for the queen. So I thought this would be a good opportunity to see another part of the world. 

It was a long three days to get home. I couldn't wait to get there. When I arrived my parents were there to pick me up and I was so excited to see my sister, allthough she was always taller than me she was still my little big sister. When I got home my sister told me that while I was gone they had found three baby bunnies whose mother had been hit by a car so they were feeding them and raising them up big enough to release. they were feeding them pet milk and grass, when they first caught them they were small enough to fit in a tea cup. Now they were a little bigger but only about 4 inches long. We watched them as the hyperactive thumpers bounced around and kicked and chomped down their food.

But the cats were also watching and waiting to pounce. So we had to put them in the other room and put a book over the metal part of the top of the cage so that they wouldn't get loose in the house. But maybe it wasn't the cat's that we should have been concerned about. Maybe I should have been concerned about Tiffany, Matt, and my cousin Sammi with her fries up her nose trick. Definitely Sammi, cause she had the guts to do something so nasty. 

Anyway I went to visit my best friend Miranda and got to see her two little girls Alley and Kaitlyn who were getting so big now. I spent some time just catching up and watching the kids.. she took me to see her husbands work place because she wanted to show his boss her littlest. Alley ran around with a pin from the store pretending that she was the one working there.. she twirled around till she fell over tired of spinning.


So later on we went out to eat at Logans. Miranda, Holly, Jordan, Tiffany and I. The food was great.. we talked about all the new changes and people getting married and having kids and that it was almost time for my highschool reunion again. 

By the weekend it was time to go to plow day to see my grandpa judge the horses plow and have a potluck. this was to be the last plow day for this place after many years
These horses were judged by how well they worked together, if they could do it for a long period of time with the proper pace, and even how well they were matched. They also had an obstacle course with a water tank overflowing that the horses had to step over as a challenge.
