Granddaughters ~ Pretty Sunrise

October 7 & 8

These four (Left to right: Diana, Jenna, Jana and Gloria) decided that it was time to hang out at our place for a day and night. They know they can ask us to do this several times a year. Cerwin was archery hunting, so we went to McDonalds for supper.

They slept in our kingsize bed while Cerwin and I slept in the guest room.  Three work in a kingsize bed, but four is too many. After awhile Gloria went to the floor. 

A beautiful sunrise the next morning.

Another Successful Hunt

Saturday, October 23

Jeff and Cerwin had another successful hunt on Saturday evening. Jeff shot his doe (left) with a bow, and Cerwin shot his second doe in two days with a rifle. The junior and senior hunt lasts only three days – Thursday, Friday, and Saturday – so Cerwin will go back to archery hunting this week.

Happy Birthday

To Our Favorite Jeff

We Love You

Then God said, “Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing offspring of the same kind—livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and wild animals.” And that is what happened.

Manheim Farm Show

Wednesday, October 6

Part 1

Cerwin ordering a sausage sandwich in the rain.

The sun was shining when we left home, so we thought our area had escaped the rain – but it began raining about the time we arrived in town.

Cerwin is eating his sandwich in the background while I photograph our granddaughter Jenna (left) with three of her friends.

We went to the buildings where vegetables and crafts were on display, and where local businesses show their wares – getting us out of the rain.

This pumpkin weighed 670 pounds!

Our brother-in-law Marlin displayed his deer mount (upper left) in the Manheim Sportsman’s Club booth.

In the next building, our niece Melissa was watching her daughter Jamie clean their pigs’ pen. Melissa and Jason’s youngest daughter Kelci is sitting in the next pen where they kept supplies.

This is fleece from one sheep!

Children love playing in the “corn box”

Summer is a miniature horse who is four years old.

We love seeing the creativity of several guys and girls from our church who rent space, and use it for sharing the gospel. In this photo two guys are sharing “the good news” with the three young people on the left.
