Great summer!

Well it's been a long time since i have written on here,i have tried several times to put on pictures and i just cant seem to make it work. i am NOT computer savvy!
We started the summer with so much rain that we had trouble getting the crops in, all the corn we planted looks good now but for awhile it looked pretty bad,they planted then replanted and sometimes replanted again so the fields look alittle funny.
The whole family took a vacation to South Dakota,we had a really nice and memorable time,I was really impressed with the Badlands and Mount Rushmore was really neat! We took a tour which was nice,we could see all the important things so we didn't miss anything! We visited a town called Deadwood and saw a gunfight in the street and allot old cars and things of famous people including the Herbie car! We also saw the graves of a few famous gunfighters of the old west. What we didnt know is that town is a gambling town ! We also got to see the Nathan and Julie martin,they live in yankton so we stopped and took them out for supper. All in all it was fun trip,alot of fun memories!!
We had the privilege of having Sam Knickerbocker spend some time with us,he is the son of Pete and Isabelle our friends and missionaries to France.
we soo enjoyed having him here a few times while he was working in Lima as a intern at a church.
We have had the girls home a few times each and that has been a blessing! Both are doing very well,Cathy teaching and Carrie as school secretary,I miss them both but i am excited that they are both serving the Lord!
On a sad note our friend and neighbor Trina Gast is suffering in the last stages of cancer and is in alot of pain,please pray for her and her family as they trust the lord to know what's best for them at this time.
Craig begins classes next monday in Lima at UNOH it is a technical school ,he will be studing Ag mechanics,he is excited to get started.
Hope the rest of your summer is great!! love to hear from you.
