For Christmas, some of you know, I got MaeMae a pig. It made me the coolest auntie ever. And since I got to spend some amazing time with AmberMae and Grace today along with my own two children MaeMae and I decided that we should start thinking about to get ready for when the pig gets to come home.
Sir Bacon Bottom and Delicious are going to be the most well loved, and spoiled pigs ever in existence. Hopefully the extra love and attention that they will be getting will make them taste that much better.
In my family, I have always been the farm girl. Evelyn was never one for farm animals or farm work. In her opinion the smell was always nauseating. Which for some people it is. It is just a matter if personal preference I guess. I have always been most comfortable around a farm. There is nothing like the smell of warm corn silage or fresh hay. These are comforting smells.
It did not surprise me when Aeryn turned into a little farm girl. But the fact that MaeMae is turning out to be a farm girl in hiding really surprises me. It is something that I did not expect. Of course MaeMae is always throwing us a little off balance anyway because that is just the way she is. She calls it her "Awesomeness". More people should have half the self confidence that this amazing young girl has. Think of the things that could get done in the world...
So MaeMae and I strolled around Tractor Supply today taking inventory of the things that we would need and the prices that they would cost. She enjoyed the trip as much as I did. Who knew that strolling through the tractor store would be such bonding experience. She also put in an order for a Carhartt jacket. I may have to work on that as a Christmas present for next year.
I guess throughout the Summer I will have to keep everyone updated on our adventures in pig farming. For now, MaeMae is telling me we have more research to do before she has to leave.
