This evening we had to go out to my parents' chicken farm to vaccinate 11,000 chickens. It was -20 degrees outside, the barn door was open and the heaters were off. I stood at a fence inside the barn with a double needle in my hand and injected every bird that was brought my way during the 3 and a half hour job. I don't usually mind vaccinating night. The work is not hard and we generally have a good time with everyone. But tonight my teeth were chattering and morale was getting a little low. Then my brother, knowing I was awfully cold, brought me a mug of coffee. I tell you, I think that was the BEST coffee I have ever had! It was just a home brewed coffee put in an old tim hortons travel mug, but WOW! It made me feel SO...MUCH...BETTER!!! I just stood there while I was needling chickens, sipping my hot coffee. Kuddos to my brother! I think I thanked him that at least 10 times. This is a time when a coffee means the world to a person.
Ahhhhh Brian I presume....what a great guy!!!!!
