Tomorrow morning is the last Milking

I can't believe it tomorrow morning is the last milking if the money comes through. Jon and I are taking off work to help mom and dad out. It is bittersweet I guess. We are so excited that Dad and Mom get this break however, it will be weird to look across the field and not seeing the steins as we call them. Oh well there are a bunch of heifer's we have have already bought to replace them and more coming in when the final payment is in. I am sure Dad and Mom will enjoy getting to sleep in since Dad has not gotten to since he was 16 unless on vacation, and that did not happen very often I can remember 3 vacations that we went on and spent the night somewhere. As for all the fairs and far off rodeos that was my mother taking us Dad always stayed home and milked he would come then leave but never went to the far away stuff. Then when I moved out he would leave Jon and I with it some and they would take off somewhere. Then they got one hired hand after (the hired hands) his Dad died he was 15 and a great hand. Matter of fact I don't know what we would do with out him. Anyway tomorrow is bittersweet I guess for our family. Even my kids this morning said what are we going to do when we get home from school besides check the beef cattle no getting up the milk cows and helping Papa start milking, no washing down the milk barn in the summer time. I think Bob will really miss it. Duchess she won't but then she is 5 and all she did was help clean up or get the cows up in the summer time when we did not have bulls in with them. I guess we will see what tomorrow brings.
