Happy Birthday Paul Hagenstein

Happy 86th birthday, Paul.  What a gorgeous family.

Spagetti Squash

Last spring I saved some seeds from a spagetti squash I bought. When Betty started her green house up, we planted 6..not even knowing if they'd grow.  They all did.  She only let 2 live, and after a few learning lessons, this is what they produced.  I'm not sure they're quite ready to pick, but almost.  Her green houses have been a huge success.

Dinner at the Kendall Valley Lodge

We had a late celebration of Bob's birthday with Michael's family and David at the old Elk Ridge Lodge, now the Kendall Valley Lodge.  It was a great evening.  These are the only pictures I took.

Gina, Sara, Scott and Bob!  We're here to watch Sara barrel race!

And there she goes...on Rosie!

Sat at the fair

We drove down to the fair to watch Palmer sell his swine.  His got one of the higher prices of the non champion swine.  He did good.

We wound up staying for a burger and visiting all evening with Grandys.  Ruben is such a good little kid.  He was a joy.

Then we went to the team pull.  I ordinarily don't care for them, because I think they over work their teams...but these guys all respected the time to quit, and they teams were awesome...hate that word..it's overused, but it works here.
