Pictures from Diane

Diane sent these to me to post of James and Meghan at Homecoming.

Mom and Dad and I are going to Defiance tonight to get 'touch to talk' phones for them and then going to buy new storm doors for front and back. John Sharpe is going to put them in.

It has finally cooled down here. the weekend was hot.

Had a good time with Jeanne here for the weekend. She went to the football game Friday, all us girls went to the Fall Festival on Saturday at MacQueen Orchards. Rides for all the kids, except Kayla, she wanted no part of any of them. Good food and crafts. We kinda thought next time will be an adult day. The only two crafts we bought were 2 pop guns and 2 bat sticks for the yard. So you know that's not what we picked out. Sunday, just went over to visit for a while and Sunday night she went for a drive with Mom and Dad to the cemetaries.

In case you happen to forget, yesterday was Mom's birthday. 74, call her if you forgot.

I am playing in a poker tourney online for bloggers, that is why the advertisement on top.

Diane, call me some evening when you have time and we will go thru the process to post.

We are all getting pictures taken for the new church picture directory this week. So Mom and Dad will have new pics for you soon.

Later, Cheryl

Maybe

Maybe I have this figured out now. Anyway I was refinishing the pie safe from the basement at mom and dads and found an old letter in it stuffed up in the corner. The date on it is October 20th 1890 something the last digit is obscured. I think it is signed by Edith Carpenter its a little hard to read but mom said the safe came from the Shoemakers. So I called Dick and Jackie to find out when she was born. They said Dec 24 1888. So she could have been 10 or 11 when she wrote it. Anyway, I have it in an frame. Good conversation piece.

Keeping up

We are back from Darren's parents. Good weekend. Always a lot of traveling for a short visit with the boys. They do good though for the most part Ü Good to hear from everyone else. Not much here to talk about but just wanted to say hello to everyone. I will have to get Darren to help but I will put a recent picture of the boys on here for everyone. Getting bigger everyday. Logan is orney. I think he bit Isaiah 4 times this weekend while we were in Indiana. When he gets mad that is what he has been doing. Or sometimes for no reason at all, not provoked in any way. Just teeth. Talk to everyone later.

Kara

I have been busy this morning. Mom and Dad had gotten some red peppers so I am baking stuffed peppers this morning. The oven is full. Last year it worked really well to freeze them after they were baked and we ate them all winter. Yummm!!

Jeanne, when are you coming ?? And who ?? Are you coming for the week-end?

Mom will have her mole removed Wednesday, Oct. 3.

Alvin and Dorothy both are not doing well. They are home but M & D took some tomatoes and peppers up there this week and said they are going downhill. They both have had cancer, and think there isn't much to do.

Crops are coming out this week here.

Kids are all good. Kara's family is in Indiana this weekend, and Lilly is home so it is quiet here.
Hope to get alot done.

Better get back at it ........

Great Fall here !!!!

Beside the bugs..........

Lilly and Isaiah spent the night and they have been painting pumpkins all morning on the porch. Yesterday at work we made the rounds to our growers who grow those and gourds and stocked up for fall decorating. I will take them to the field and let them pick this afternoon. We do that each fall and they have a good time. I believe Rachel went with us last year.

Speaking of that Jeanne and some kids will be home the first weekend in October. We can take them then and we may throw in the corn maize if it works out for them.

Mom and Dad are home from the camping. they came back Thursday. Mom had 2 spots on her arm, last week they froze off the one and will remove the other one Oct. 3

Daisy died this week. She is buried in the back lot.

The crop are close to coming off here. A couple of guys have started on the corn, but they may be pushing it.

Ross, Amanda and Kayla are coming out tomorrow for the day.

Last Saturday was Liberty Fall Festival and it gets bigger each year. Crafts and games for the kids, all the the Liberty Park. Happen to see Kathy Yaney there and talk to her. And Judy Kessler.

And Jeanne, I am with you on the Imax. I always have to close my eyes through much of them !!!

Well, we will go sit the artwork around,
