November, 2021

 

Amazing beauty this month.  

One sunny afternoon I rode in the combine with son Jonathan.  We both had a very good time.  John stood at the bottom of the ladder calling out warnings to me as I descended.  Really!  He made a motion as though to catch me, but thankfully, it was not necessary.  

Thanksgiving was not at our house this year so I began decorating for Christmas earlier than usual.  Each of the grandkids received a cute stuffed animal but I think the squirrel was the most realistic.  

Daniel doesn't seem to like wearing the crown Rebekah placed on his head...

And now, she is six!  Love this girl.  

Jonathan and John worked combining soybeans this month On the evening of the 9th, Jonathan was on his way home and hit a deer.  His airbag deployed, his truck sustained thousands of dollars of damage, but he was unharmed.  Grateful.  

I stayed busy driving our harvest crew from field to field and preparing and freezing food for November celebrations.  We celebrated birthdays for Melinda and Rebekah and had a nice, low key Thanksgiving at Garnett.  

I gifted meal a meal of hot chicken salad and fruit to a neighbor who had suffered a chainsaw accident. We shared breadsticks and stew one night and another evening took steak and potatoes to family members.  Our daughter loves fresh peach cobbler, so that was her birthday "cake."  

We have discovered the delights of Panda Express and ate there twice this month via curbside pickup.  

It was a busy, blessed month.
