Amazing how quickly time gets away from you. We have had some busy weekends and I finally have a little time to get the blog updated. The weekend of Oct. 24th, we headed back to Leota to visit family. I have to work Thanksgiving so we thought we would go early to possibly have Tim help my dad do some harvesting. Well the weather did not cooperate, but we had a great time being with family. We got to spend time going to Aunt Nadine and Aunt Karen's (who each spoiled Nathan and Ella royally with treats) and then we got to spend a day with my aunts, cousins, and grandparents. It was so nice to see everyone again and I cannot believe how big my nephews and nieces are getting. Nathan and Ella loved being on the farm and seeing the cows and Ella, especially fell in love with my parent's dog Hershey. Ella nicknamed him "Doo..ahhh!" The next weekend I went up to Green Bay, Wisconsin area with 6 other college girlfriends. It was our 10 year college reunion, and we finally made plans for all of us to get together. We had a blast up in Door County. We did a lot of shopping and eating and tried our best to keep the local economy alive. Now I am back to reality. Our November should be quiet and then we are planning to go back to Minnesota for Christmas. We have been spending some quality time outside raking leaves. This is the only time living in a forest is not so fun. Otherwise not too much new going on here. Talk to you soon.
