Every Night

Photo by H. Siberman

Every night is the same.  I slumber and I dream, only to awaken with the feel of your lips on the back of my neck.  I reach out for you and discover it was only a dream.

Goldpanners

Take me out to the ballgame...

The Alaska Goldpanners!

Great Grandma's Quilts

The hand stitching is amazing and the love that went into every moment will be cherished for all time by yours truly ~ the Great Granddaughter.

Weekend Hail & Rain

...

Saturday we had a rainy afternoon.
Three gully washers rolled past and two of them hailed on us.

Growing Up

Beauty will blur, the hair will shorten and transform in hue. Tempers will mellow and composure will increase.

The ability to forgive and forget will be enhanced. Moving forward to the next day will become easier. Learning to let go of the past will leave room for more in your future.

More love, more laughter and more enjoyment.

Chip

Chip on your shoulder?
Knock it off.
Lighten you burden.
Move forward to a happier tomorrow.

Be Careful What You Ask For

...

Over the long July weekend our office sink faucet was left on and a flood quickly formed. The three offices effected sat with doors closed, southern windows letting in warmth and sopping wet floors for days. By the time we returned to work mold accompanied by a dreadful smell had taken over.

So what did I ask for? The offices to be emptied and the carpets double cleaned.

Be careful what you ask for as you just might get it!

We were displaced and discombobulated for three days and it has taken me two days to fully move back in and become a functioning employee again.

Here's to dry floors and a sunny summer day to enjoy!

Lawn Tractors

Helping Great Grandpa move a lawn tractor from the neighbors place (which use to be their home) down to the new home in the oak forest.

Shopping at the Hy-Vee

Cactus leaves with the thorns .99 cents each ~ in Iowa?

It was a great outing, there were so many fresh fruits for sale at great prices compared to home. It was like heaven. Of course that's what Iowa is to some.

Scare Crow

...He just walked right up to the edge of the corn field and stood there like a scare crow ~ no prompting was necessary.

Clover Hunting

...

On a walk down the lane we stopped at a clover patch and did a little hunting for a 4-leaf clover.

Oak Forset

Even the giants arms do not reach all the way around.

Rain

...

My Grandparents home is in a grove of old oak trees and it is quite a sight when it rains and the wind blows. The branches swirl and bend as the leaves pull on their stems.

It is the perfect place for a home filled with loving hearts.

Iowa ~ Storm

Outhouse Tank

...

The outhouse tank is buried, one step closer to done. These photos tell a great story ~ boys playing in the dirt ~ fun at all ages.

Thank you Greer Tank & Welding we will be back around when it comes time to purchase the fuel tanks. I however would have one request... if the tanks could be marked with the original fancy type font stencil... I wonder if those templates are still around? That would be so awesome if they were and if our tanks could be special marked.
