Long time no post!!!

Wow it has been a looooong time since I posted. Life has been busy but good. Somehow at this time in my life I find that spending time with the geriatric crew takes up much of my off time. Here are some pictures of these very special people. The top picture is of Ardy(85), Aunt Mim(89) and the "kid" who is Mim's special friend (79) and the bottom picture is Aunt Tom (94) and Steve (58-ha!)

We also have been enjoying some hunting this fall-I do not have any pictures of our duck hunts(the ducks have been few and hard to find this year-we do have maybe 6 in our freezer) but I

did want to share some of our opening weekend pheasant hunt pictures with you. Son John and

wife Jessica were here for the hunt as was Uncle Dean and his son Aaron. We took Ardy and

Tom for breakfast one morning before the hunt. We also had supper with Ardy, Mim, Tom, along with Jessica's mom and dad and our daughter Annie at Guadalajara's on Monday evening.
Below are pics from the hunt and the dinner-it was quite a crew!!!

Annie and I also went to the Women of Faith conference in St. Paul, Mn. with her friend Megan and Megan's mom Joan. It was an awesome time-very good speakers and wonderful fellowship with Megan and Joan. I highly recommend it to anyone. I also got to see Julie Hample's (Kaatz) baby Holden as they came to Saturday's conference with Joyce. Here are some pictures of the

"girls".
