June 19, 2011 Happy Father's Day!

View of the day-An original Father’s Day program!

Rain again last night, although not enough to do any damage. We kept a low profile until it was time to go for Sunday brunch…should have gone before the Father’s Day rush. Al decided to try out the omelette bar and ended up waiting about 30 minutes to get his order filled…but it was worth it.

After we got back from dining, we noticed our original camp spot was now empty, so we decided to pack everything up and make the move…something we are getting pretty good at. It took no time at all and we were backed in under the shade of the trees and with the exception of the breaker kicking a couple of times due to the neighbors two A/C’s running. We certainly hope that gets rectified because it’s supposed to be hot again…but what’s new?

We got a call later in the afternoon to go out for a Father’s Day BBQ at our farmer’s. We figured we better get a few things looked after at the bin site…Al’s new antenna on the tractor, the new air filter in the combine, the new skid plate on the header. Marilyn checked the rain gauge on the combine and it had almost 2” of rain...and a new spider had taken up residence on the left corner of the mirror…a much bigger one than before.

We got our fixing done and after an excellent meal, we were treated to a performance by the children honouring their father’s and grandfather…Marilyn thought they did a better job learning their lines than some of the productions she has been involved in.
After some dessert and conversation, we headed back for Great Bend and on the way we saw a couple of fields that had combines making dust…and grain trucks on the highway.

It looks promising for tomorrow…
