Family Treasures

This past weekend was a great fun working together as a family project, hubby was cleaning the shop out while I hauled bricks and other stuff out of the junk pile sorting it, making my self scarce as in-laws processed and sorted family “treasures from the junk” dishes etc. went to the good will pile and boxes were hauled off, other things were loaded up in trucks to be hauled to the the other farm, and some things came home, lawn mower, four wheeler, the guys were excited about, the new “toys” they were making plans to play on the water and in the boat and so looking forward to having this project done but we are only just past the half way point, but very pleased with the progress to date, now we are trying to figure out what to do with mementos from childhood. Hubby has a stick he used in 4-h for showing prize winning bulls, and curry combs used for fitting and showing, I’ll have to ask him about a shadow box. He can use them for displaying these in the office. He even kept his baby shoes so did his brother. One of the things I love about him and his family is their commitment to family. They loved it when the grand kids were running around playing and involved in this process.

We all love the outdoors and my idea of taking the camper was quickly adopted as his own, so just having that in common our love of the out doors and nature is great, this weekend is his birthday and he is in dire need of a break from the stress of work and the farm, so a boating session is the plan!
