September - What's up with me and Roger

For Labor Day we had a quick impromptu cook out.  
We've only had 3-4 cookouts at the Property this year :(

This is when Traci cut Roger's hair for the wedding.
I wish he would get it done monthly, but he refuses. 

Mom's sunflowers grew well this year also. 
Sunflowers are such happy flowers. 

Good onion crop this year.  Drying them out in the shop. 

My favorite pan (from my Grandma Dickson) broke again.
I got this in 1995 after Grandma died, and the original handle lasted until 2008, then I had Craig Nelson replace it for me.  It's lasted till now, and I've taken it back to Craig.  Hopefully I'll get it back soon. 

Relaxing on Mom's porch

Doing the corn.   Such a slick way to do corn ! 
Here's how it is done - see video

Football game - like my hat ?
Roger doesn't haha

So glad the garden is mostly 99% done. 

Relief Society activity at Lynette Durrant's.
We made flower arrangements.
I made one for Angie and Jessie for their birthdays. 
Can you spot me in the back?
Emily Pulver, Vinda Preslar, Me, Sara Rice, Lisa Streadbeck, Riley Streadbeck, Annette Streadbeck, Amy Fairchild, and Lynette Durrant (Denise Hansen is taking the picture) 

Tiana (my niece) has been traveling ALL over Europe.  She sends me post cards, and I LOVE THEM !! 

We did tomato juice and salsa this year.  Always glad to get that done. 

Still mowing hard.  I like the exercise I get, but will be glad when it's over. 

LuAnn went to Branson MO with friends. 

Our old 2004 Saturn bit the dust  - we gave it to Kars for Kids. 

 

End of August - US (me and Rog)

The garden is winding down, thank goodness. 

Beautiful Sunset

Out for a walk 

Helped mom get her upstairs rearranged, and de-junked. 

Can't remember if I mentioned that LuAnn had a new great grand-daughter named after her.  Meet Zu Zu Lu, Chans and Tausha's latest. 

I've been helping Roger out with the mowing since the boys have gone back to school.  This was probably a Wednesday, after River Cove.  Look at those steps and miles !!! 

Happy birthday to my friend Stacy, with flowers from mom's and my flower garden.  Also a WASP caught a ride on the flowers (I was holding in my hand while driving).  It was a good thing I didn't notice it until I had parked !!  

Corn is on !!

This guy needs a haircut !! 
I haven't bugged him all summer, but he's promised he'll get it done for Cam's upcoming wedding. 

Mom's raspberry crop hasn't been as good this year.  They didn't grow very high at all. 

Two old fogies

I made two pumpkin pies for the boys (while Zac and CJ were in Hawaii) 

Made a trip to the Assessor's office to visit, and Janell gave me an award I had won last December. Whooo Hoo !! 

Our sunflowers are growing so well :)
