Halloween 2010

These two little men surprised us by showing up at our door on Sunday. Corbin and Collin Sperl as cowboy and scarecrow had to pose for the camera.

This bunch was really scary!!! Peyton, the green skeleton and Lily the princess, brought two of their friends along for trick or treat . We never did see the face behind the white mask.

A close-up of the princess!! Smile pretty , Lily~~

Little flower girl, Haddie and big sis, Felicity stopped after the parade to gather some candies. Granny loves to cuddle the greatgrands when they are here. Hope you all had as Happy Halloween as we did. See ya next year.

Flashback- September, 1994

Since September 2010 is nearly gone, I have been remembering the year of 1994 when we had our auction and we getting ready to move off the farm. The machinery is all lined up and ready. Must have been a last minute discussion goin' on here.

The farmer leaning on the barnyard fence. Are we doing the right thing?

This is the last milking. I am waiting for Dad and Patti to bring the cows into the barn.

At the auction so many friends and neighbors showed up to support us. Having an auction for your farm of 42 years was not an easy thing to do. Tim had to climb up in the 1105 Massey Fergusson , our big tractor, and start it up for the crowd.

Farewell to Maggie-August, 2010

One of the ladies that lives here at Centennial Apartments has chosen to move to an Assisted Living complex so we had a party for her to say good-bye and wish her well. Of course Ken had to play some of her favorite songs.

Aunt Sis, Uncle Earl and Florence Lemke watching the fun after we had our lunch.

This is Maggie Gebert in the blue cap- she was the guest of honor. I think she is giving her grand-daughter some advice for making life so sweet.

Farewell, Maggie, come back and visit us sometime~~

Kathryn's Birthday

My sister, Kathryn Deml celebrated her 88th birthday on July 7, 2010, so she had a cake ordered to be served at church when we had a pot-luck luncheon. We sang Happy Birthday and all wished her well.

Of course the cake had to be red, white and blue, her favorite colors. It was so yummy with the whipped frostimg that she likes. A special day for a special lady!!! Happy Birthday, Kathy~~~

Kate has a strong bond with our Pastor Nancy. They have become such great friends this summer since Kate's stroke, Pastor visits her very often and they pray and talk over
some of the issues going on in Kate's life. How good it is to have family and friends in our lives- Thanks be to God!!!

Summer Fun and Family~July, 2010

Heading to watch the Sunday Night, Church softball game- Peyton and Lily lead the way the the bleachers.

Charli grabs the bat and tries her skill at bat, she made it to second base, but did not score a run this time.

Hummm!!! I think I will hit it way over that fence back there!!! Oh, what fun to see the Storm team in action .Maybe next time, Charli. Keep up the good work while having fun--
