Here
Well, the new hired hand is here and working. He is Internet savvy enough that I am not going to say any thing above and beyond that. I hope it works out for both of us. <br />n<br />n<strong>I've been conned a couple of times, but now I'm a little more savvy. Maggie Gyllenhaal </strong>

Miracles Can Happen
Miracles are one of those things you like to believe in but rarely see. I remember cheering during the "miracle on ice." Lately Huckabee has been saying he majored in miracles, not math. I didn't major in anything but common sense. Miracles can happen though.<br />n<br />nI all ready have a new hired hand. Usually…

Fire

Just Go Away
I've always liked the saying, Don't go away mad, just go away. Well the hired hand didn't follow this advice. He left, but he left madder than hell. It's been coming for awhile so in a way it wasn't a surprise, but it sure was sudden.<br />n<br />nWe were out doing morning chores this morning…

Translation
Sometimes what a hired hand says needs a little translation. I thought I would jot down some of it here. When you interview them o course they know how to do it all and they are the best you've ever seen at it. Then once they start working watch out for some of these phrases.<br…

Gone
Well, the hired hand is history. He left last night. I can't say it hurts my feelings, I'm just not looking forward to dealing with a new one. He should be here Saturday.<br />n<br />nThe old hired hand had his Dad come down to help him move out. He had a flatbed trailer and had…
