October Update

Since taking possession of the newly acquired property, we've spent just about all our time working on the place. It's looking better every day. We've demolished the old mobile home and are working on demolition of the other trailer. Over the weekend, we painted the interior walls and ceiling in the "rec building". What a difference! Thanks to Kathy! She painted eight hours on Saturday, and came back Sunday afternoon to paint the second coat! The boys were also helpful.
The harvest is coming along fairly well. Yields are well below normal, due to the extremely dry summer. It's still very dry here. In spite of that, the fall foliage has been positively gorgeous.










The ponds are at very low levels, and the big creek is nearly dried up, but for some reason, our little stream is still flowing. Wyatt has learned ride the Warrior. These past couple of weeks we've put a lot of miles on poor old Rusty. He hasn't yet figured out that if he'd just wait in the shade, we'd be right back. He follows us where ever we go.

In September, I attended the National Quartet Convention in Louisville. It was very inspirational and I enjoyed it very much even though I went alone. Bobbie was unable to go this year. A few of the highlights were the Gaither Vocal Band reunion, Mosie Lister's 90th birthday, Song of a Lifetime showcase, and of course, the Main Stage events each evening.
