What a busy weekend we’ve just
had. First there was the wedding of
a nephew in a neighboring county.
That night we didn’t get to bed
until midnight and it was a short
night as five o’clock came too soon.
The next day was the gathering
of relatives at Landis Homes for
Allen’s 100-year-old aunt. It took
most of the afternoon to visit with
the folks who came from Florida,
Michigan, New York and Con
necticut to help her celebrate.
That night we had our first
square dance of the season. Our
And, a boyfriend of Philips from
New York City also spent the
weekend here. In fact, we had the
bad luck to crash the back of one
wagon into a silo. Thank goodness
Philip is an agricultural engineer
as, after working for hours on it, he
was able to repair it so that it could
be unloaded. Then a neighbor, who
opened a big field for us, had his
harvester fall into a sinkhole and
break a spindle.
Through all of this 1 cooked and Always something!
“Foot and Fiddle” group meets in
Lancaster each month. We are
usually tired by the time that
Saturday night comes around but
somehow the music and our
friends help us to survive the
evening.
Sunday was to be our “Supper
for Eight” group but it was post
poned. That was a good thing as we
needed a break in our too busy
schedule.

Two of our sons come to help their
father fill the silos. One drove over
12 hours from Chicago. He did get
to sleep a bit on the road as a
truckload of bricks scattered over
four lanes of the highway and
nothing moved for three hours. He
got home at 7:30 a.m. and im
mediately after breakfast went out
to work. We’ve been plagued with
many minor breakdowns in our
harvester. It will probably be
rebuilt by the time we finish this
fall.
