After an interesting summer we were looking forward to some camping fun at the
Kaune Kampout, then going to the Kansas Speedway for the
NASCAR Race, and helping with the harvest in the fall. The family enjoyed getting together for some story telling and of course the wonderful omelets on Sunday morning. The razzing began this year with Brett
Favre playing for the Vikings, so some bets had to be placed on your favorite team. Kansas brought some cool weather that gave race fans a fast track. We met Jo's nephew, Scott and son, Jake at the track after they met drivers and toured the garage area. Got together with friends, Duane and
JoAnn, as they were doing some moving this fall. Always fun to get together with them. The fall harvest has been hampered with wet and cold conditions. The crop is unable to dry and the ground conditions are very wet. Will create a late harvest and will not give us the chance to help take the crop out. Kevin and June have their equipment ready to hit the fields as soon as the conditions permit.
The first frost was our indication it was time to head south to warmer weather. We had several events we wanted to enjoy before we headed out. I helped my brother install some new white vinyl fence to dress up his acreage. Always fun to put in new fence. Had some model tractors restored by our brother-in-law and what a nice job he does. Looking forward to some other work that he is doing for us. Went to Luther College to watch our niece swim at the first meet of the season. She has done a terrific job in her career and has a great future ahead of her. We watched from the stands along with her college roommate. The kids have a very good team and perform well together. A thumbs up for a job well done was earned.
