June!

Wow! Whoever said "life is like a roll of toilet paper.... the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes!" surely must be right. Over the past several weeks, we've attended many baseball games, had two family reunions, and have been trying to keep up with the grass. Because of the huge rains, we've had to do quite a lot of work on the lane. Also because of all the rain, we have not yet mowed our hay. We're hoping to be able to do that soon, but it's still much too wet at this time. We enjoyed getting together with our cousins in Houghton. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures, but Becca Howard has some posted on Facebook. I "borrowed" one from her.
It was great to see them all together.
Zach's baseball team went undefeated this season, winning the championship June 19. We really enjoyed watching them play. Wyatt also played, and had a good year. His league doesn't really keep score, nor do they count outs. Everyone on the roster bats each inning. Wyatt is a pretty good batter.
Last Sunday, June 27, we gathered with the Nye family. It was a reunion for the descendants of John and Thelma Miller Nye. Dad, Martha and Neet are the only three children still living. We enjoyed spending time with them and seeing many of our "long lost" cousins! There were 94 present. We also celebrated Aunt Neet's 85th birthday, with a beautiful cake. Also very tasty!

Farming has been pretty much a wash-out. There will be very little to harvest this fall.
Looking ahead, we have plans to see fireworks both Saturday and Sunday nights. The first ever Mann family reunion is planned for July 31. We hope to be baling hay soon! Rusty is becoming a very good companion and watch dog. He's now been with us for just over four months.
That's about all I can think to tell for now.
