The crispness in the air, the cooler nights, the 4-H preparations. That is right...in just a few short days we will be moving down to the fairgrounds for our week long adventure.
Katie is showing a miniature horse again this year that a dear couple has allowed her to use. The horses name is Sally...Katie did show her last year as well.
The kids also have their steers. Crazy to think this will be the last year two steers are going from here to the fair. This is Erik's last year he is eligible for 4-H, where has the time gone? The kids have gone and made contact with their buyers, so hopefully they will end the week on a good note. The steers themselves are probably considered pretty average, but we have a crop of very nice ones for Katie next year.
Also going from our farm is a Combine ready for the Derby on Thursday. A second one is here that a friend of Erik's is working on...not sure the status on that...we'll see if it makes it to the fair.
On August 7 was Don and Sue's anniversary. They live in Greenville, SC. We don't see them nearly enough...but I wish them the best...it was their 29th anniversary! (my brother and sister-in-law)
August 14 is my parents anniversary...this year they will be celebrating their 58th...seems like we just had the pig roast for their 50th!
The kids are both in the King and Queen contest at the fair this year. They are really busy with practices for that...they seem to be having fun.
Well you are officially updated for now...I wish you all well...and as always...
Be Blessed!
