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--

Peyton's Soccer~July 21,2010

Yesterday we went to watch Peyton play his final of the season, soccer game. When the game ended, his coach gave them all a white ribbon and shook their hands and said ,"Congratulations."

He comes running over to tell us this and he said,"That means we played good doesn't it?" Yes, little Buddy, you did play good!!!

We never know the score- who needs to keep score for this?? So much fun watching these boys and girls playing their little hearts out just for the fun.

What happened?? I thought I cropped out the coach's butt!!! Oh, well, you get the drift~~ Peyton gives a high-five to a player from the other team~~That's our little man~`proud of him we are!!!
