Sunday and our wonderful Grandma!

Mom came out tonight and we had supper. Then we went for a farm tour out north. We go down camp road and looked at the farm ground. We noticed how many new pivots there are now. Noticed that the ground is drying out and will soon be turned over with the plow. (Can't you just smell the dirt?)

We turned left on 700 and went past Montgomeries, Hansens, Lowders and Eames, then north to Haynes.

We looked at the new pivot on Bezaks and the place where Hillis has straightened out the property line.

Then went past Wendts (hello! Bill-yum) and out to see Mike Fowers new house. saw where Harriett and Lester Roys used to live. All along the way, Mom talked of experiences and things her and dad used to do.

Then back past "the Generals" and Binghams . On to the Dairy...a man from Las Vegas bought it "sight unseen!" He wanted to get his kids away from the gangs there. He's keeping the weeds down and trying to get water to it. (We talked to him). He loves it there and has good ideas for improvement. He seemed nice. He fenced in the front pasture.

Then we drove on past Stokers, Fowers and Nefs. Stopped at the cemetery.

All of this brought a flood of memories of the "good old days" on Grandpa Jacks farm. I could almost hear the frogs croaking down in the pond. Made me miss my dad and the wonderful place I was raised.

I think Mom enjoyed the ride. (Doesn't she look great!)
