Sibley

We went to Sibley, Jeff's home town, to return his brothers car for him. Jeff was driving it while Brett taught in Japan for the last 3 years. Jeff's stepdad owns a farm up there and I've never been. I asked Jeff before leaving if we could go there and he said there was nothing to do. However, on Saturday morning I talked everyone into going! Yah! It was a ton of fun. I've never pet a cow, although seen my fair share. When we got there I pet two cows, they were both older and bigger. It was hilarious because the cow kept licking me! He loved being scratched and pet, never knew cows were so loving. Then Scott let me in to see the baby cows, they were really shy but so cute. I fed them some treats and pet a few, until one took a liking to me. I called him Oreo and would not leave me alone! He eat from my hand, then decided my hand was a bottle. I literally had my whole hand down the calves throat and he was sucking on it!! haha!! Jeff took some pics on Scott's phone so hopefully I'll have those soon to upload for you all.

After the cow extravaganza we walked around the farm. It's been in Scott's family since the 1930's which was pretty cool. I love old houses, antiques, etc and have dreamed of buying a huge old house and remodeling it. So, of course, I loved Scott's old farmhouse. There was an old truck from the 1950's there and some of the buildings had lofts. I just had to check them out and I'm so glad I did! I totally scored some awesome windows that I have big plans for!!

Here they are...


There are two just plain ones and then an awesome one-that looks like a flag! I plan on painting it to resemble an american flag and put it up around the 4th, or maybe always if I can find a perfect place for it.


Next there's the awesome door. I plan on painting it a blue to match our master bedroom and puting pictures it it, along with a saying in the middle. I want to hang it on the stairway up to the master.



Then Vicki found a piece of wood that looks like an arrow and a little window from an old car. I don't really know what I'll do with them yet, but they are antiques and cute! I couldn't pass it up!

After driving all day we made a list of things that need to be done by Friday for the basement, when carpet arrives. We're going to have a super busy week, especially with Jeff being gone Tuesday night and Wednesday. I don't think he realized all we have to do..tomorrow will be a loooong day. We did get my cabinet hung in the laundry room though!! The color is more true in this picture. We also hung the mirror, it's kind of high because its such a short mirror but I think I'll add some Upper Case Living saying underneath to fill the space.



Now off to bed to prepare for a loooong day tomorrow. Watch for updates later this week!
