I got to drive a combine!

Okay the farm kids FINALLY got to drive a combine. I have pictures to prove it. Had a blast doing it. Thanks to Mike Korth for allowing me (the rookie) to drive his brand new John Deere. If anyone needs help with combine work give me a shout:)

Great Weekend

We had a great weekend with Mike's Mom & Dad here. It went way to fast! THANK YOU to Karalyn for picking all those apples. Two 5 gallon buckets full and I plan to freeze more tonight. Morgan is already trying to think of all the things I can make with it.

The weather is starting to cool down...fall is in the air! I love this time of year. Mike & I got my bleeding hearts planted and 4 giant mums. He laughed when a snake crossed my foot. Darn gardner snakes.

Yesterday Mike found an old wheel barrow. Never seen one like it, but we found a spot in the yard and today he was going to fill it with dirt and manure so next spring I can plant flowers and pumpkins in it. He found it out behind the barn. I have found a lot of stuff as we clean up trees. I told him get a big trailer to hall it all away. I should add that this was stuff left behind by the folks that lived here before us. We have cleaned up a lot but now its clean up of the stuff know one sees!

Check out the kids blog...new pictures are being added.

okay okay

I had to laugh, my sister Kathy and I were chatting and I said I needed a change to my background. Well she was able to do it for my site and the kids! Thanks Kat! When I looked at the blog it was like ooops I haven't updated since when???

Its been nuts around our house. I am back to the YMCA 4 days a week. I know it take 21 days to make it a habit and I know I can do it. Today the rain is coming down and its the first day of fall so my favorite season can officially start!

I have started to work on Christmas gifts... I know your thinking I am nuts, but they need to be done so why not now.

My friend Leah has left radio and is on to a new adventure, I wish her the best of luck in her next adventure. This week will be busy both at work and home. Today is the ONLY day with nothing planned...ha ha. I promised Morgan we would start working on her room. Tomorrow we have the Y for Bryan & Morgan. They have a great afterschool JAM Club. They go every Tuesday. Mike has tax class tomorrow night. Wednesday finds me at the Fire Dept for our Mutual Aide meeting. I have to talk about changes with the only viaduct in Columbus coming down and what that will mean for ambulance trips until the new one is ready. Morgan has dance also on Wednesday. Thursday is getting the house ready for company. My in-laws will be here on Friday...can't wait. It will be good for Mike to have them here. He made the comment once that he didn't know if his Dad would ever be strong enough to make the trip. Its between chemo weeks so we are all excited...plus FRIDAY is Rod & Karen's anniversary.

Well better get back to some markets...
Love to all,
Sue

New Godson

I had to share with you Jonah Lucas. He was born August 6th to my friend Lori and her hubby Brett. He is an angel and already sleeps through most of the night. (Hope that holds true for a long time Lori!) We had so much fun as I took the boys with me and Bryan & Noah fell right in where they had left off two years ago. These two boys are 2 days apart and have been best friends since they came home from the hospital...just ask them, they will tell you!

Saturday

Had a blast on Saturday at Mark & Deb's. THANK YOU for a fun evening! It was fun to sit around with friends and eat some great food and watch some great fireworks. Wouldn't expect anything less from a bunch of firefighters.

Kay & I have a pact and will hold true to it. Come October we are headed to Lincoln to shop for new clothes! I will keep everyone updated on our progress.

Here is a website that i have found and LOVE. http://www.cozi.com/ its a dayplanner that will send you email or text reminders. Check it out.

Also have posted new pics of the kids on their site...
