August 30, 2011


View of the day-No harvesting in the field, but Marilyn managed to harvest a deal at Walmart…a triple crock pot with individual controls, lid racks and spoons…only $34!

Al was up early to take the straight header up to Carlyle. He started out in the fog but after about 100 miles, he was driving in sunlight and made good time getting to the border at 11:30am.

After parking the header at Carlyle, he stopped for a visit with a couple of farmers, then headed back to Pingree, getting back to the border at 3pm, then dropped the hammer back to the camper.

Thanks to Danny supplying a pickup for Marilyn to drive, there was a trip to Jamestown to get a last shopping trip in before moving back to Canada. After her shopping trip she stopped for supper and a good visit with Donna Tompkins. We used to camp out at Donna’s house on the farm when we would come back for the fall harvest in years past, but now she lives in a senior’s complex in Jamestown, so we don’t get to see her as much.

Al made it back to the camper about an hour before Marilyn did and after she got everything put away from the shopping trip, it was time to relax with a Third Rock from the Sun marathon on TV.

Looks like we move on tomorrow…
