My friend, Amy, and I and two of our children went to San Francisco last weekend with 60 some 8th graders and parents. First we went to a Giants game (they beat the Diamondbacks 5-0), then rode Hummer Limos around SF for 3 hours. The next day we drove down to Pier 39, had lunch and then took a boat out to Alcatraz. As you can tell from our sunburned noses, the weather was beautiful. It took us almost an hour to get from the parking lot at Pier 39 to the Bay Bridge. We are just not used to city life! (Getting flipped off twice on our entrance into the city should have been a clue!) The kids had a great time and the parents are almost recovered.Today Jim & I took our lambs to the sale in Orland, a 3 hour drive. I'm 
becoming quite familiar with that stretch of I-5. Unfortunately the sale is not on Tuesday, but Wednesday. Jim had called the day before, but, in typical male fashion, asked "Is the sale still on?" Not, "Is the sale still on for tomorrow?" The person on the phone, undoubtedly a male also, responded "Yep." Not, "Yes Wednesday is lambs and goats and Thursday is Beef and Pigs," as the female receptionist informed us usefully today. While we were standing in front of her. After getting up at 5:30 to load lambs and get our kids to school. Fortunately they penned our lambs and will sell them for us tomorrow. We took 61 lambs and 3 cull ewes. We hear lamb prices are up, so we're hoping to get a decent price.
