Saturday, Suzanna and I went to her fund raiser and quiz bowl practice. From there we zipped through Wal-Mart to get a few items I needed to make food for a family reunion we were going to on Sunday.
Got home to find the baler hitched and tractor fueled up, ready to bale. I headed to the field and began baling. I spent about 4 hours on the tractor. Hubby ran the bale wagon and got two loads for my brother, who is putting in a new seeding at his place in Indiana. He pulled two loads off for us as well. The neighbors came to begin collecting up the remaining bales and putting them on their truck and wagon. We ran over 500 bales through the baler by 10pm Saturday night.
I headed into the house to make my food for the reunion. The Detroit Tigers were in extra innings, so we watched the end of the game. That got us into bed around midnight.
Sunday was Sunday School and Church. Then hurry home to change clothes, grab our food and head to the park. We were trying to remember how long we have done a summer family get together and think we started in 1990 or 91. We had always gotten together at Christmas time, but that was getting harder as the younger generation was in college and getting married. So the idea came to do something in the summer instead. So now we have our "Steak Out" every summer in July. Our kids had a ball playing with their cousins in the swimming pond. And considering the temperature was about 95 degrees, it was a great place to be.
Headed home and got some office work done. Waiting for the temperature to get below 90 so that we could head out and finish the straw. The neighbors brought their baler up and between ours and theirs the straw is out of the field and just needs to be put in the mows.
Hot day today. Expecting a high of 91. Good day to stay in the shade and do cool jobs.
