Anybody heard from Jeanne?

Anybody heard from @Jeanne - Simme Valley ?
Hadn't seen her on here lately. Her profile says march 30 was the last time. Hope she is doing well.

I think she is on special assignment (vacation) in Hawaii this week. (Check her FB page.) Just had the annual Stars and Stripes sale that she participates in every year. I think the annual order is long cold winter with calving mixed in there, mud and AI breeding, getting cows ready and getting them to the annual sale, vacation to Hawaii, then return to getting hay cut, baled and wrapped.

Well - Simme knows me well!!!
Yes, it has been grueling trying to get things lined up for the sale...home 1.5 days and off to Kauai for 9 days. Now trying to get cattle ready to go to a show this Friday. Cow and a yearling have been shown. Calf on cow, NOT. Yearling, NOT. And fall heifer calf, NOT. We put show halters on them for the first time today.... and a show stick!
