Upcoming show, litters etc

I think we have 5-7 does due this next week, we have to get nestboxes in for them this weekend. I need to double check but they are either due the 27th or the 28th.

We have our next show on June 7th in Victoria. We have tattooing and figuring out what we are entering over the next week, two weeks. It is a day of show entry so that is nice, because I don't know how we would even have time before the 7th to figure out entries.

4:00 last night we called about taking an old coin collection in to see about appraising and selling it. We sold it, for just under $1000. None of us collect coins and had no idea where it came from, it was in a box in the attic. We sold it to a coin collector that is a close friend of the family. He said it was worth the $1000 and he would only make another $60 off it, a little more if silver goes up in the next couple of weeks. So, we were happy as that will go towards the truck fund. Now I have to go to the bank at 9:30 to pull money out to put towards a truck, and then we are going to Ladysmith sometime today to look at another truck.

We looked at a truck last night(the one we are going back to today). And then we will start looking at other vehicles. We decided to give mom our truck, as she could use a truck and sell her car. So, we will be going out to start cleaning out her car, to put it up for sale. Then she will take over our truck(worth 3 times as much as her car) and then we will hopefully be able to trade the van in towards a truck as well..... So crossing fingers this all works out! If it isn't the right truck today we will keep looking. I don't want to jump into something that has problems. I would love to buy new.. But the payments would be $500 a month($472, plus insurance another $85-90 a month) on payments and that is just too much right now.

Maybe in the next year or two.

Anyway to the rabbits, so we took the coin collection in and didn't get to the barn until almost 8:30, so we fed and watered rabbits and had to go back to the car dealership at 9:30/quarter to 10 to get the number for the dealer today.

Rabbit wise all is well, babies are all doing great. Panaches babies are SO cute, same with the sable point buck from Ms Sierra- very nice! Mini lop babies are all doing well, just a few litters left now. Have lots more expected!
