What a day! We had a gorgeous start (albeit c-c-c-ccold!) to the day but with frost on the pumpkin...G&G have a small wheat farm with a large "farm" garage and a nice long driveway that the ole moho can pull right up to and "plug in"--thanks Dad! We really do look like Ma and Pa Kettle, with the CRV all decked out with bikes, kayaks (bright yellow!) and other hohrah...we had to unhook the car, though, cuz we're so long and unsightly that you can't see the cute lambs from the dining room window! (Once we figure out how the heck to put pictures in here, we'll show you!)
Bill and Marcy and kids arrived about 6 pm and we immediately scooped up the kids (they're SOOO cute) and had an adult beverage. Dinner was well received and we had our angelfood cake, Klickers strawberries and Dad's ever-present vanilla ice-cream. What self-respecting 97 year-old man would not have vanilla ice cream at the ready?
The kids had a minor delay at the Phoenix airport but landed in Spokane a little early and made their way from mid-state to the SE corner via forest land, small towns, farming communities and lots and lots of wheatlands. Bill said it's one of his favorite drives because of the variety, the ease of driving and the beauty of the landscape. Wheat at this point in the Spring is really green and beautiful.
Tomorrow is tractor rides for Connor on Lorena's old tractor and visiting with G&G for
Bill and family. We're going to bed in the moho to the sound of the sheep bleeting!
