Twenty Nine To Go!!!

I'm adding pictures of our Saturday. Zach and Wyatt went with me today and were very helpful.





They also enjoyed playing in the dirt while we waited to get started.


I can't seem to get the pictures in the right place....oh, well. I give up, and will try to do better next time!

The count-down! Only 29 remaining school days. That means 58 trips from school to Montrose and back! I have a pretty good route, and the kids (MOST of the time) are pretty good, but even so, I'm ready for summer vacation. I enjoy not "living by the clock".
Believe it or not, I've been spending much of these gorgeous days upstairs making scrapbook pages! We (Dennis and I) so enjoy reading and looking at the pages I have finished. I have all the supplies I need, and the pictures, but until recently have not had the motivation to just get started again. Then, a few days ago, I was just moved to make a page, which turned into another, and another, and then pretty soon I'd finished 18 pages. Of course, I have probably 118 to go, and I keep taking more pictures. So, it's a never ending process, but they are so nice. Zach and Wyatt enjoy helping make pages, and they also love to read the scrapbooks we have done.
These beautiful sunny days have dried the ground up, and if it doesn't rain I expect Dennis and Travis to be in the fields by the weekend. (Yep...and I got a picture of Travis applying anhydrous on Saturday) They'll be working long hours until the planting is done, and I usually get to do quite a bit of "go-fer" work.
Burger King will be taking his final trip next week. He's going to take a ride to Kahoka and when he comes back home, he will be in neat little frozen packages. I'm looking forward to a big celebration Bar-B-Q! I'm hoping that I'll like him on the plate a lot better than I ever liked him on the hoof! The only one who will miss him is Lucky....the horse. Burger King is (was) her sole companion. She'll have all the grass, grain and hay to herself now though, so I'm sure it won't take her long to forget her little buddy, Burger King.
Kathy has gone to Chicago today, and Tyler just called a few moments ago. He and Wyatt are planning to come over and work on Dennis' race car. That will make Dennis happy. He's been trying to get it ready for the "limited" racing season. He has told me that he won't be racing every week end. He plans only to race when Tyler runs, and they expect that to be just the special events in the area.
Since Wyatt is coming soon, I better sign out of here, get this posted and be ready to play! He doesn't like me to be on the computer when he gets here! So, now I've at least put more recent "news" up.
