Hubby and Thomas have been keeping an eye on a project across the road. There has been an old John Deere combine sitting in the fence row for a number of years. About a month ago, there was some activity around it. Someone was working on it. A couple weeks ago, the mystery workers had pulled it from the fence row to the roadside. More curiosity from the guys in my house. What was up?????
Tonight when we got home from prayer meeting, there was activity around the combine. Thomas was all set to go see what they were doing, but daddy wasn't. We went on up the driveway, but a few minutes later, I saw trucks with their hazard lights blinking headed down the road. Hubby headed off to investigate and came back home with the scoop.
He was sad to say that the combine was headed to Homer to be prepped for a life of combine derbies!! He was really down in the dumps about the thought of a piece of farm machinery ending up wreaked and ruined. Never mind it was "froze up" and wouldn't be able to harvest a crop in its current condition. I, of course, kicked into "Fair Queen" mode and preceded to ask him if he had told the guys that our fair has a Combine Derby and what night it was, etc. He just rolled his eyes at me. He and Thomas were still commiserating the demise of the combine at bedtime.
