And this is how last night ended.....

This would be Steve.  He has been buddies with PaPa Bear since they grew up as neighbors.  We have been through 'thick and thin' with Steve and his wife Lisa.

And Here is the Problem Child.......

Rylee is 5yrs old today!

Harvest is a family affair!

Unloading trucks was Cassie's assigned task.

Thought for the day

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

Here we go!

Little trooper, stayed in the combine all day.  Loved to watch the corn unload out the back window.  I am amazed that he stuck it out ALL DAY!
