Laurie would like you to know that things are slowing down on the farm.

Reason being she had shoulder surgery a few days ago. She's recovering remarkably well and may even let me drive her tractor. We'll see . . .

I agree with the above poster, blm. She looks great! I'm sure you and the furry kiddos are a great comfort to her.

I hope she's back in the saddle soon. Shoulder injuries are tough because its easy to keep irritating them. I broke some ribs high up on my back last year, and it still bugs me. There's hardly anything you can do on a farm where you don't have to use your shoulder (dispensing carrots maybe!)

I’m sure she’s anxious to get back to her routines and if I was a betting woman…🤗
