On thursday we went to the stockyard to buy some goats; we were planning on getting either 5 or 6 goats to eat and clear brush off the land, and therefore making it possible by Fall (we are hoping) to sow our grass and finally getting our pasture ready for other animals.
We put up our fence the Saturday before, and the shed was finished before Thursday so we were prepared for the goats. We went to the stockyard on thursday and the first thing we did was look at all the goats and choose the ones that we wanted, all the goats were numbered with stickers and so we wrote down about fourteen goats tha
t we wanted planning on choosing out the 4 or 5 that we like best. After we had finished choosing out our goats we went in a big room and sat down, in the room they had a half circle that the goats went through while a person does the auctioning. We must have missed a few goats at first trying to figure out what he was saying, but we ended up only getting 2 goats so we are going to go again this thursday and try to buy a few more.

Those goats are fantabulous! Their eyes are glowing and Flibby said they look like aliens. I hope this time you get all your goats!

P.S. Flibby insists that I point out that she invented the above adjective.
fan-tab-u-lous- adjective Slang
Extremely fine or desirable; excellent;wonderful.
[Origin: 1955-60; b. FANTASTIC and FABULOUS]
Well would you look at that! Flibby didn't invent it after all (I was pretty certain that she hadn't). She wants me to tell you that it is her new favorite word and she is going to say it every day.

P.S. I love where it says that the origin is from the 50's. If I lived in the 50's I would have said fantabulous all the time.
Maybe your next Question of the Day could be "What is your favorite word?"
