Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for so many things! I am thankful for a home, food in the cupboards, my health, the ability to work in the outdoors (even though it isn't always under the best conditions) and to be able to work side by side with my husband and kids. I am thankful for the rights I have as an American and for those who serve and have served so that I may have those rights. Most of all, I am thankful for our family! Moms, dads, brothers, sisters, grandma, aunts, uncles....one great husband and 2 great kids and for one AWESOME GOD for making it all possible!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I am hoping that you also have many things to be thankful for!

Crazy!

Am I crazy or what???!!! That was a rhetorical question by the way!

As if I am not busy enough, I was an idiot and volunteered to be the "delivery station" for the wreaths that the Juniors and their parents sold for a fundraiser! I did have one mom (thank you Val) come and help me sort all the orders out. Now, if only I can get the kids to pick them up and get them out of my garage. By the way, ignore the dirty garage....that is one of the things on my "to do" list once we get the harvest wrapped up.

Snow......again!

It snowed a few inches on Friday night....enough to put a halt to the harvest for a few days again. We are heading out now to see if it will go. I am praying that it will, I just want to get done! It's been such a loooooong harvest this year {{sigh}}...physically as well as emotionally draining!

Warm!

Chad got the heater fixed in my tractor and I was nice and toasty warm in there yesterday...even took my coveralls off for most of the day! Had a few "minor" problems this morning that we got taken care of and one "major" problem that we are headin' out to deal with before we head to the field for the day. My father-in-law's calves got out last night and we have to round them all up. He just weaned them a week ago so this could be really interesting getting them to go where we want them and trying to keep them from getting back together with their mamas! Oh well.....at least I have HEAT!

BRRRRRR!

The heater in my tractor quit working yesterday afternoon and it was a little (actually a lot) chilly in my tractor by the time we quit last night! I am headin' to town in a few minutes to get some parts so hubby can try to fix it. Thank God for coveralls, hats, gloves!

Broke Down

We broke down with the combine last night. I am "patiently" waiting for my father-in-law to get it fixed this morning so we can get back at the harvest! I really DO NOT want to be combining past Thanksgiving. I am selfish, I want to be able to relax and enjoy the holiday with family!

Glasses

Guess who is the newest member of our family to get glasses......................COURTNEY!

She had an eye exam last night and found out that she needs glasses. I asked about contacts for her but he wants her to try the glasses first and see how she does with them. Knowing Courtney, they will be broke or lost in no time at all! Her glasses should be here at the end of the week. If I remember, I will post a picture of her in them....she picked out some kinda funky (is that an 80's term?!) ones.
