Then we went to the insurance firm to review our farm policy. As the lady reviewed items after items on the policy I told her about the new heat detection system that was put in place recently and that it should be added on the policy. The heat detecting system is to monitor the movements of cows in heat, so that they can be bred in a timely fashion.
As she read on she said " Oh it's itemized here under Genetizer". " Genetizer?" I said "I know that we bought a Generator for when the electricity goes out so we can still milk the cows." As she looked closer on the policy she said, " It says Genetizer here", thinking that it was a new hi-tech breeding device. When she realized that they had misspelled Generator. We all had a good laugh.
After meeting with the insurance agents I just got back home with a few minutes to spare before having to return to the farm to feed the calves again. Then I rushed home to prepare our evening meal of Pesto Pasta. I was trying my new 12 cups Cuisinart Die Cast Elete Collection food processor for the very first time after washing all the movable parts. My old one is worn out and barely chops. I turned the burner on high to boil the water for the pasta. When I turned my head to check if the water was boiling, I noticed my brown empty tea pot on the red hot back burner. The tiny bit of left over tea had all evaporated. I turned the burner off and removed the tea pot and the bottom of the plastic handle melted and the metal bar let go and the teapot went crashing in pieces on the kitchen floor. ( I buy those coffee carafe at Value Village real cheap and use them as tea pots for when I have several people for lunch.) Time to buy another one and maybe I'll find something that catches my fancy while I'm there. It seems like a good excuse to go shopping...
Today also I was trying to get acquainted with my new Canon Rebel T1i camera and learning how to use it because my husband is always borrowing my little simple Fiji digital camera and insisted that I got a new camera and that I give him the Fiji because he like to use it.
I think that I kind of over loaded my brain today so I'm dumping some of it here on my blog. Too much good stuff but I'm thankful that I finally got those two items. Thanks for visiting. JB
