Family Time

Not sure where the four days went. Seems like we just pulled into the brothers farm.

The weekend was a whirl wind of seeing family. One of the nice things about stopping at the farm for a few days is the nieces/nephews with all the rug rats (5 1/2 kids, Tina is due in July) come here. Bob & Diane (DB &SIL) are now staying over at the other farm while they wait for their great grand child to make her appearance. Candace is due any day now.

Friday night we went out to eat with Larry/Stint (DB & SIL on the farm) to a place called Swedes in Mulliken. This place has been there since I was little and owned by the same family members. If you've ever seen a small building along a side road that has "cafe" out front then you know what kind of place this is. The food is wonderful and at a price that would put these big restaurants to shame. The two Larry's each got the fish dinner, with potatoes, Stint got the lasagna and I got the shrimp. Everyone had the salad bar and drinks and the whole bill was $33.00.

Stopped at Dave/Dawns/Sydneys (where we park in the back yard) and got caught up with them. As usual their lives are busy. Not sure yet when we'll pull the rig down to their place. It's suppose to rain the next three days and things were just starting to dry out. This rig of ours doesn't go very far pulling it across grass.

Brandi & grand kids were over and I was able to sneak a couple of good hugs from Darrius. He starts baseball this weekend so I'm sure we'll be hitting those.

We've been down to the house and Larry's working on the plumbing. I'm happy to say the kitchen cupboards that have been sitting in the living room since last Nov are the ones that I visioned. Larry has the bathroom set so we at least have a potty and water in there. I'd help him when I could, but also got the flower beds cleaned out, mowed the yard yesterday (Larry did it Friday) and puttered around with unimportant things.

I went in to the Walk-In clinic today. The day after we left Mission (Sat) I broke out in Hives all over my legs and arms. When we got to S.D. Tuesday I tried to find a clinic there but I either had to make a appt or go to the one that is only open at night and that was 30 miles away. Don't think so. It was getting better but the itchiness was driving me up a wall. So this morning I went in and got some strong med's. Hopefully will sleep better tonight.

Guess that fills you in. Weather has been ok, had some storms the other night but not as bad as they predicted. In the 70's today but now their talking rain the next three days with temps in the low 60's.

A lot of the farmer's here are behind on getting the corn in. Larry B has his in but still has about 300 acres of soys to plant. Maybe the rain will go around us, lets hope.
