Planting Corn, Family, and Playing Baseball

 

 

Just before going to my basement office this morning, I noticed that Eli was planting corn.

 

 

I never tire of watching a team of horses or mules.

 

 

It is amazing to watch them turn as a team.

 

 

Each one knows when to move and when to hold still.  People could learn teamwork from them!

During the afternoon, my brother-in-law called, asking some advice on a printer, then invited us to meet them for supper – as they were taking Mother to a restaurant not far from us.

Clockwise – left to right:  Cerwin, Mel, Velda (Cerwin’s sister), Mother, Elvin (Cerwin’s brother) Crystal (our niece), Jakey’s grandma, Jakey (engaged to Crystal) Pat, and Josiah.

We left the restaurant a bit early, while the others continued to visit – because we had a baseball game to attend!

 

The guys were well into the game when we arrived.

Red’s team of supporters

 

 

This was the first time I met my niece’s new baby son, Caleb.  I think he is just six days old.

 

 

 The sun and fence made it difficult to take pictures, so I had to be a bit creative.

Tonight it was Red’s turn to congratulate the other team for their win.
