Hi all – We’ve had such gorgeous
weather – hot & still; last night we had a small wind that blew the rain clouds right away.
Tony and the boys started baling hay on Wednesday, which is early for us. Tony never cuts till after the 4th of July this year he started earlier due to a good crop of hay. Everything was going well till a hydraulic hose on the tractor broke last night. Tony took the hose into NAPA for a custom cut hose. Hopefully repairs will go easily enough.
It’s another beautiful day.

It rained all the day and night last weekend before the fourth of July; can you believe that? It was grey for most of the day on the 4th, but it didn’t rain. It was just super soggy!!!! Around 5 pm, the sun came out.
We still had our parade, and we had a sumptuous picnic. We had had lots for visitors; fellowshipping was plentiful. We had about 5 families from Whitestone, Geyer relatives, Basalyga relatives, Casey relatives, Chris’s girlfriend and family, Wilson’s from Fbks, Chavezes, Marina (who helped Jo with the picnic), and of course, we had all the Squires and Milliron relatives who were mentioned in a previous email.
Chavezes brought a cotton candy machine which was a BIG hit. Mitchells brought watermelon. Jo and her girls, Griselda (me) , May, and Kelsey made all our picnic foods. Several men (Brad, Seth F, Rich, and others) volunteered to grill the meats.
I think we made nearly 300 shish-kebobs with beef and all sorts of goodies on them......they were so good! Somebody bought a bunch of corn on the cob which was also put on the grill...Dessert was the famously known Northern Delights ice-cream in three flavors. One of them was coffee flavor and it went fast! Everything was great.
Carolyn had games aplenty planned for the children. Volley ball was a much played game and later on when the ground dried, the men played soft ball.

May and Annie got to ride horses. May was dressed up in her Middle Earth outfit..or something...and had her Toledan sword strapped to her side. Looked quite the part. Rob had a good time on the wagon riding with all the kids and adults. Pat took pictures and manned the video since I was cooking and was otherwise employed.
PatLou's presence was sorely missed...he is still fighting fires up in the Yukon area. Not sure when he will be able to come home.
This weekend, we are to have Frank Lopez here to preach and visit.
Laundry calls, more later, hope you all had a great time too!
