Well, I've been home about a month now. My folks have decided that Sonja and I don't need to spend so much time with them anymore, infact, my Mom insisted on it. I feel guilty, but I think they are OK on their own for awhile. I have needed to be home, I've been busy with our pears and our corn- I put 13 quarts in the freezer. I got a 40 lb. box of chicken breasts and a 40 lb. block of cheese that I grated and put both in the freezer. I defrosted all 3 of my freezers, I cleaned out my pantry in the basement and organized everything. Lisa came and spent a week and Tami's family came for about 4 days. Then every weekend after that, I've had company. Bret & Suzy's family came, then Dave & Mary and this weekend Mark's family was here!
The grandkids all had a ball chasing and trying to catch the 4 roosters we had wandering around. We put them out of the hen house and hoped something would get them, but every morning they were still here cock-a-doodling around 4:30am! Blake and Colter got Gpa's big fishing nets and finally got this one!
When Mark's kids were here, they got another white one! I didn't get a picture of Bret's kids catching the others ones. We loaded them up in the live trap and took the kids on a RZR ride up the mountain and let them loose! 
LaVerl has been busy too. When Lisa and Tami were here, they both helped LaVerl start cleaning his huge shop. It was major! Then, after 30 years he finally put some really good lighting in his big shop! He also put 8 new sky lights in, the old ones were starting to leak. He had to get on his really tall ladder to reach! He also ran power over to where the treehouse is.
Dave and Mary came to see us and he brought LaVerl a really cool old car because he didn't have room for it. Its a 1948 Dodge 4 door sedan- Fluid Drive. We took them and J'net & Bryan all up to Molly Butlers for a nice dinner.
We always like to take the kids to DQ for treats when they come. Mark had taken them down on the Little Colorado river to try to catch some crawdads. They caught 9 and they ate them!
To make room for his new acquisition, he had to make room in the shop, so Mark took home LaVerl's 1930 Model A coupe. He's had it since he was 16 years old. Its just been sitting for lots of years and Mark will now get it all restored!
Maybe Mark knew as a baby that he would someday get this Model A!
And there it goes to its new home!
