Tonight is breezy, 69*, and the sun is shining as it sets. We’ve had some cool, overcast days with the sun appearing at night for the last two nights. It’s very aggravating! I would like the sun to shine all day long. I hardly slept last night everything was banging around the cabin outside so much!
Del and Virginia Buerge were here this past weekend. They went back to Whitestone last night but now have come for tonight. They will begin their drive home tomorrow morning from here. The service with them was very good.
Sarah Jepsen's aged cousin Dick (relative to Aunt Em) have been having fun. He likes to walk all over the place all the time, so they’ve been exploring the farm and places nearby. We asked Seth Jepsen to take us to Squeaky’s yesterday. He put us off and put us off. Finally at 8 pm, he wanted to know if we were ready. !!!! So, we went with the kids. They went on up to the Plateau, arriving home at midnight. We stopped at Squeaky’s to come back home, arriving home at 10 pm. For those who don't know, Squeaky's is a hill nearby about 1200 ft I guess, where people who have the energy can climb and look out on the Tanana River and the farm...most of the panoramic photos of the farm are taken from there...awesome scenery! A family outing with kids is usually a must a couple of times a summer!
Craig Mason poured his foundation for his house this past weekend. He will have a basement, I noticed.
My BIL Ben, does have a fractured vertebra from the aftermath of the accident. He is wearing a brace to keep his torso from bending too much. He is not supposed to be lifting more than a pound, and he’s not supposed to be bending over very much.
Jarred, Steve, and Jim were working on putting a roof on the new tack shed which is being put up by the root cellar and the old tack shed. I see some of the younger men spending time pulling staples and nails out of some ¾ in plywood which the guys plan on using on the tack shed. Jarred got the used but very nice plywood from one of his demolition jobs.
Our family went to the Delta Fair last week end. It proved to be rather a fiasco since it was dismally gray and drizzly. Also, the main attractions of the rodeo shoot out and Lumberjack challenge, a favorite with Pat and May for years, was cancelled. The horses are a great attraction for Robin. However, it was not all bad, since Rob's riding instructor and her small school of riders got him and the girls on the back of her truck and they all took part in the parade...that was fun!
