Rebuilding Strong!

Twenty-five years ago, Dennis built our cattle corral. Today, he's replacing a good portion of it. Several posts had rotted away, and it was no longer strong enough to push the cattle through.
He says the replacements should make it good for another 25 years, so he figures this is the last time he will be doing this little job. When he did it the first time, he used a jobber to dig the post holes. This time, he used the auger. Even so, it was a lot of hard work, and I appreciate it!
I don't know too many who would tackle it alone at his age! He does good work, and lots of it too!
I'm so blessed to have such a fine husband!


So, while he works so hard out in the heat and humidity, what do I do? You're reading it!
I'm also fixing some grub, so when he gets finished he will have just enough time to shower before supper is ready.
School starts August 25! I can't believe summer is almost over.

I found the pictures from 25 years ago in my scrapbook. Decided to scan and post them just for fun. Here's Dennis and his "helpful" dog team, building our first corral.


If you use Facebook, I have more pictures there. I have also put a lot of the pictures from my week in Wisconsin on Facebook. I think you can find me by clicking here.
