[[]]​​​I completed the conversion of our outbuildings into our chicken housing today. These are our first batch of 100 broiler chicks. Day 17 and still no fatalities or any illness.

This is what I've been keeping myself busy with since Sam passed away.

Clearing out the outbuildings of stuff that Sam and his dad accumulated over the years.

I have been blessed with an abundance of hardware since dad owned a hardware store before he closed up shop and brought all his stock home.

I will make them both proud of me and make good use of it all.

Today I hardly cried. I feel numb. Somebody's gotta keep the ball rolling. I soldier on.

Stay strong folks. Keep busy.

Berney loves Sam.
