Since the Last Entry....

We've been very busy! It's been a beautiful fall. I don't know where to begin telling what we've been doing or where we've been since September. I guess the best way to update is by listing a few of the highlights....

Almost every Sunday evening we get together with Rockholds, Mickelsons, and Travis and Gail, for fun and games....and usually some good food as well. It's always fun, with many laughs.

Dad had his second knee replacement in mid-October. He had a rough go for a few weeks, but thankfully, seems to be improving every day.

Zach and I have been practicing with the Nauvoo Orchestra for a Christmas Concert December 2. It's been challenging, and fun for me....not sure Zach would describe it as fun. We're playing clarinets.

Wyatt started violin lessons about 5 weeks ago. We go to Nauvoo every Wednesday after school for his weekly lesson. He is learning a lot, and in such a short time! We believe he has talent!

Harvest was very quick, since many fields were under water most of the summer. We're thankful for for a safe harvest, and no breakdowns!

The calves are growing. Coffee Bean, our "Jergus" (jersey angus cross) has yet to calf. We're not sure when to expect that one, so we'll just keep watching and waiting.

I'm changing bus routes. I bid on a route that is almost entirely on paved roads, and won. The route I've been driving for the past few years is almost all gravel roads, which makes keeping the bus clean nearly impossible! I will miss a lot of the kids that I've come to know, but I sure won't miss the dust!

Enjoyed seeing (and hearing) the Lesters at Crossview in Keokuk last week.

Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away! We'll be enjoying turkey and all the trimmings with family at the Bonney home. Looking forward to that!

Still to come: Candlelight Carols at Moody, Dinner Theater at CFS, Circle 8, the Lesters and Chosen Ones at Quincy for my birthday!

I could go on, but should start thinking about what a tired and hungry man might like for supper.


I just wonder.....does anyone actually read this blog?
