Had a full weekend...

and glad to be back to work to rest up !!

Diane and James is here and Kevin and Meghan will be here tomorrow.

Friday night went to a Toledo Mudhens game with the Davis Farm group. Food and Drinks included. Saturday was a cornhole tourney in Lyons that the guys took 2nd place and $75.00 and t-shirts. Lilly and I watched for the day, went looking for garage sales.. Then a couple of guys came back to house and the cornhole went on until about 1:00 am. Sunday was church and then cornhole at the Hamler Summerfest. They came in fourth and no prize money. Took James with us and him and Lilly played in the junior tourney. So it was fun and the brats and german potato salad was good. Went back to Mom and Dad's where Ross and family and Kara and family were. Guys were fishing and the rest of us just relaxing. Kayla and Kallie came to our house to spend the night with Lilly and Jess is watching them today.

Moving the incubators out of the wood shed today, and getting ready for it to come down. Put out feelers for estimates today, to see what we get.

Vacation

Hi Everybody,
We continue to have a busy summer here. Sarah has been ordering her nursing textbooks, uniforms etc. David bought a neat car this week. A 95 Geo Prism. Very nice conditon and he loves it. He has been working a lot. Nathan turns 16 tomorrow and we will try to get his permit on our way out tomorrow. When we return Nathan will start working on a dairy farm helping to milk cows. He is excited about it and learned the ropes quickly. Rachael is doing well with piano lessons, finally the third time around!j

We are going to go first to Buffalo, NY to meet John's sweetie and her parents. They invited us to stay the weekend. On Saturday we will go to Niagra Falls! On Monday we will head to the Adirondacks for a three day wilderness canoe trip on the Oswegatchie River. We will camp in the camper on either side of the canoe trip. Yep, we are taking all of us food and all in three canoes. Stan will give us lessons on paddling at the beginning. He knows all that sort of thing from all his years exploring the Adirondacks in college.

We will get home Aug 1(Sat). I plan to come to Ohio on the next Tuesday. I need to give myself a break before the long drive home. More later, Love Jeanne

Happy Birthday Everywhere........

out to Rick, Wayne and Dakota, all on the 16th, and to Kara on the 17th.

Delta Chicken fest was last weekend. Rick and Jess took 3rd place out of 34 teams.

And then Saturday evening all 5 of them were at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Gearing up for Diane and clan to hit Ohio. July 25 to August 11.

Jeanne, sometime the first week in August.

Wayne, a chance you will be able to make it ?

Take care all, Cheryl

Lilly

Showing her flower arranging skills.

Back to work for me....

I actually had 4 days off. Davis Farm had off Monday and Rick had off Friday, so I took a vacation day for Friday.

Had a project of cleaning and staining the front porch and after 4 days still not done. But getting there and will be lovely.

Jess asked us to go to Defiance for fireworks, so we went up there Friday night.

Spent the day Sunday at the pond. Dad and Rick fishing and Mom and I sitting in the sun. They caught a catfish and 3 bass, so we grilled them for supper.

Diane's plans for summer are firm. She will be in Ohio July 25 to Aug. 11. Jeanne is still working on her plans, maybe the first week in August, about the 4th for a few days. Wayne, any chance you are going to make it out ?? Will have a 15 yard container there and working on the machine shed and basement. Also prep work at the wood shed for a garage. But I believe there will be time for a shopping day for the girls. Mom and I went last week for a few things and supper out. we zipped aroung Diance Mall at a pretty good clip. Got her in the courtesy wheelchair and told her she would have to hang on, I push faster than Dad does. Had a good laugh.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon !!!! Cheryl
