Tractor Drive #1



We have been without internet service for a week and have felt totally out of touch -didn't realize we were such computer "geeks." Like most Americans, we have been glued to the TV watching the Olympics. What a remarkable opening ceremony! We have a problem with the time zone - an hour later than we are used to in San Antonio - can't stay awake for "prime time" events!
Roger and his brothers, plus 2 nephews, had a great time on the tractor drive last week-end. Roger is hardly the typical farmer with his "Aussie" hat, shorts and tennis shoes!
I joined Judy and friends at a summer festival in Saline on Saturday. Another friend plays in a band that was performing - they play "big band" sounds - great music and great weather made for a fun afternoon. Bought a cute winter hat - even though I have no intention of being around when the white stuff falls!
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly:
Good - a Farmer's Fruit/Vegetable Market plus Bakery and Jerome Meat Market are both close by and we have been literally "pigging out" on fresh sweet corn!
Bad - we saw a sign for "Winsor Highway" the other day - it was a gravel road! A little different than SA traffic but rural roads everywhere.
Ugly - learning to cook on a gas stove when I have had an electric one all my life!
