Summer 2009





I want to add something to my blog again. Not sure if we had summer or not if just calculating it on the temperatures we've had. In one way the cooler temps have been nice but it hasn't made for good corn growing days!
We enjoyed having our niece here from Washington for a few days. We kept her hop scotching about the state to see all of us! We had some group pictures at Theo and Sarah's but the camera I had with me then decided to quite working so I'm trusting some of the others to post those pictures until I get copies!
Now in a little over a week Aunt Agnes will be with us again as she returns from Norway. Will be a special time!
Here are a few pictures and what from our doings from the last post.



Off to combine the wheat!


A few flowers and wild critters in my yard!





















Nolan's birthday and fun with a pineta!







At the park with Helen, Hannah, Nolan and Tammy!












Tammy and I went for an excursion on the 'LaCrosse Queen'. Here are a couple pictures from then. Was an interesting ride and would go again! Would be fun to rent a house boat and do more extensive exploring on the river!






turtles basking in the sun!



Sorry all my little peeps I don't have much for action shots!

A big thank you from my little peeps! They wanted to watch the combine 3 times! It has been a strange summer here too, lots of rain, no rain for a long time, cool days and cooler nights, now rain and gray off and on for the past 2 wks. Good days and hope you enjoy the rest of your summer, we are looking forward to convention next wk! Dora
