Mid-May

Hi all...wow, where does the time go between postings? We have been so very busy in so many areas. Planting is on a stand still. With only 38 acres of corn left to put in the field and 3 days left of soybeans we are not too worried, because it is still so early.

Don surprised us all with a quick visit over Mother's Day. Always good to see him...sad that Sue couldn't steal away any time though...but, they are for sure coming sometime this summer for a high school reunion in August, and maybe an open house in July...please, please, please!!! Ok...enough begging for now! :)

Katie has begun her time with the Minnie she will be working with at the fair. Sally is so sweet. Katie has been learning and teaching all at the same time. Showmanship, jumping, and tomorrow, she will learn how to drive...which we heard Miss Sally is quite good at. We thank Miss Lori so much for the opportunity to work with Sweet Sally.

Late last week we had the awesome opportunity to watch a homeschool production of the Titanic. This presentation was as professional as any community theatre I have seen and I've seen quite a lot. Great job to the Hetke Family...your dedication payed off.

Mother's day was a lazy day with G & G Geese, Don, Gary, Leslie, Mackenzie and the twins Rylee and Alexis here for dinner. It was extra special because it was the twins' birthday as well. They stayed quite a while and we got out Dexter and gave him some loving before he went away for a while. It was a great day...we missed those who couldn't be here. Later we visited Doug's parents.

So as for Dexter...he went to the Amish family to get broke to a cart. He was good on the ride down. As soon as we unloaded him one of the little boys said...can I sit on him...I said sure...then one at a time a few of them where on and off of him. I think they like him. I sure hope he gets along ok. Mr. Mikey is a bit lonely...but the steers are keeping him company. We are too!

We all have been busy this week with the norm. Next week we have to hit the ground running with all the events that we have coming up. We will go to Lansing and Erik will get his diploma. Later that day we will go to Jackson and Katie will be part of the Pioneer's Spring Celebration. Her sign language group are signing to the song "Praise you in the Storm" by Casting Crown...should be a good evening.

I will go down and check up on Mr. Dexter next Friday...Saturday Katie has a mini whinnie show and Erik has prom. Sunday, the boys are doing the Richard Petty driving experience at M.I.S. I'd better start taking my vitamins now to prepare for next week.

Oh...one more thing...I want to wish Ken & Brenda a Happy 25th Anniversary, May 18.

Keep your head up, keep smiling and be blessed all...take care!~
