Happy Independence Day




About time for an update. It's been so busy around here, first the floods the first weekend in June and then having the Amish replacing our roof and porch. I've also been babysitting my sweet little granddaughter, Randi as well as planting flowerbeds and driving Amish so I guess thats some excuse anyway. Today was a pretty great day, Corey arrived from Minot last night and today he, my granddaughter Kendra, and I took a long walk down in the pasture to see what effect the floods had on our creek. It was quite shocking, the creek has changed course and because the water went through with such force, the bottom land looks nothing like it did before. We did see several schools of chubs (small fish) and found a deep sinkhole that was full of tadpoles so at least the creek is recovering.
When we got back to the house Michelle was there with Brandon, Kerri and Randi so Corey finally got to meet his new niece. Then it was off to Culvers for lunch, there is no Culvers near Minot so Corey was craving it. We hadn't been home long when he decided we needed to go to LaCrosse so he kept Mom on the run most of the day. It's so awesome having him home, even for a short time. He'll be heading back Sunday morning but hopefully will come back in September for a real leave.

September will be here before you know it. I know you miss Corey when he's gone but oh I'm so jealous of your happy household and babies and pasture! You have a good life Peggy :) I know you treasure every minute of it!
