then we took a little drive yesterday evening to celebrate early but so we could with our most precious and dearest assets.. our kiddos and their familys... our anniversay. This has become the highlight of our lives each fall... knowing that this one day, we can all get together and enjoy each other without anyone having to spend time in the kitchen.. and this year we did good, we had a feast!! According to the bill, we did GREAT!!!!!! haha... and we enjoyed every precious moment of it!! Thanks kiddos for coming and helping us celebrate... We love each and every one of you, and those yet to arrive...
And then we drove back to Stillwater and visted with new parents, Craig and Missy Hannan, and their brand new son, Reese Lee... who arrived Friday morning. He is cool... so Grandma and I got in some early practice for Dylan's arrival in a few days... The new parents are doing great. Missy works with Ann and Craig works there as well. They are two very special folks in our world. Guess that needs to become three.. haha...
The creek below the home that was auctioned off Saturday in Pawnee... can you imagine having this playground next to your home and being young again... and the explorering one might do... catching the rope swing and swinging out into the creek on a hot summer's day... wow... one just has to asked, who walked along these banks ... and when.. and ....
The family heirs numbered 3... a brother and two sisters, can you tell who was oldest... kind of a sad photo of passing of the times, and an era of time when things were a bit slower, not electronic games, a time when kids played outside and could ride in their communities without the worry of abduction... and one trusted one's neighbors... they lived by a creek too, and I bet they played along it's banks... and swam in it in the warm summer time...
with all things, an end comes... I remember the day this piece of equipment arrived on our farm and how proud my Dad was to have it and could not wait to see what it could do. And over the years, it worked and worked and has outlasted it's owner... even with a son who managed to "hook" onto some of the big rocks under the ground and straighten the shanks... Perhaps in this photo I see the strength of the past... and how strong our future looks, and how timeless things can be, that seem to NOT be important at the time....
