October - Birthday's abound!

Hi all...October has arrived along with many birthday celebrations. The month started out with my brother celebrating his big 50!! Wow...no wonder he has so many gray hairs with his sparse collection of hair remaining. I do hope he reads this so I hear the feedback. Happy Birthday Ken!

This week I had 5 days listed with birthday's...a friend I've known for years celebrating, someone celebrating his sweet 16, another newer friend celebrating her birthday the day after her son turns 18. But, most importantly, my husband will be celebrating his birthday on Friday. We have big plans for a scrumptious dinner that afternoon. He is very pleased that bean harvest is going so well. He has never had so many acres harvested at his birthday time. Last year he had hardly started the harvest.

This past Tuesday we attended the annual Calhoun County 4-H award banquet. Katie, as secretary of the council, ended up as MC because the president and vice president of the council were unable to attend. She was super nervous, but did a fine job with her speaking. The evening ended with Katie receiving the Senior Beef and Leadership award. She also received her 10 year 4-H pin and Erik received his 12 year. And, to end the night, she was awarded the "I Dare You" award! So a very good end to her 4-H year.

A lot of prep work for the birthday dinner being done today.

That is all for now...have a blessed day all!~
