What great memories I had while repainting this cow and these two birds that my sweet and caring father inlaw made, whom I truly miss. Kelly's brother, Brad, moved to Georigia and had some things left at his house in St. George that he wanted Kelly to have and these were included. I was excited to see these things that Kelly's dad, Merlyn, made cause we didn't have any of his awesome welding creations. While Kelly was in Colorado, the week before last, I wanted to surprise him by repainting his dad's cow and birds (years outdoors had done it's toll). It took me some time but what a blast I had. I took them down to our barn and plugged in Courtney's latest CD and let my memories flow. I could, almost, hear Merlyn telling me that spray paint is the way to go. I'm sure I didn't get my spray paint, here locally, as cheap as he did but, it worked just the same. OK, I cheated on the body of the cow and used the paint I had left over from painting our living room and kitchen. I really enjoyed working on the cow and birds, thanks Brad for letting Kelly have them. Now, if only I can figure out a way to weld that damn leg back on the cow. Stands up pretty good with the leg just leaning against it....... until the winds come. Again, great memories!!!!!!!
Danielle and Courtney milking Grandpa Holt's cow back in the day! I will admit, Dad's spots on his cow looks loooooots better then mine.
Danielle and Courtney riding Grandpa Holt's cow. Such cute little cusses!
