Dad and Spot taking it all in, in Dad's truck today.


Dad and his dog, Spot. He thinks of Spot often and when we head out to the farm, he needs to feed him some biscuits. Two good friends who truly love seeing each other! Dad had a great day. We checked all the pastures, fed all the cattle, looked at the grass, and checked out the hay. We drove all their land, something he has not done in years! He was like a kid in a candy store! After a neat lunch with chicken and noodles, and Marilyn's fantastic vegtable salad, and Grandma's onions and cucumbers, and ice cream and ... well you get the picture... haha, it was time to head back for a nap, by all!!

Dad is headed back to farm today... hopefully!!

I am headed down to get "his" truck to take Dad out to his farm today. We are going to drive through the pastures and some of the fields and let him see cattle up close and the fields, and the hay I have mowed down. Not much has changed over the years I have learned, with the equipment. Still fighting the AC in the Ford. Now we have the belt staying on, but the AC unit did not work at all yesterday. I have mowed the Piper Sudangrass over by my house and have it baled but not stacked due to case being down. Mowed the Piper at Perkins yesterday along with the burmuda grass on east side of their 80 south of Shultz's. We will check it out.
Jake is doing a marvelous job being among many things the groundskeeper for Shutz Ranch. He is so good that he has got a raise, and is now on call all the time! He is thinking about vo tech school and welding this fall, and it is about fall... !!!
Ann is fixing chicken and noodles and Grandma is bringing over some cumcumbers and onions.. dad's favorite.. and mine too....!!!
Come eat lunch with us, there will be plenty!!! Around noon today or later...
let you know the outcome of the trip later today.
