It's been awhile!!!

My goodness!!!

It's been a few years since I've posted!  I guess time flies along with everyday going life.

Well since my last post back in 2011, there have been a number of changes. My mom passed away after battling illness after illness. My sister and her family were by her side when the time came for her to be with God, and all her family and friends. It's been a long road since she's been gone. There have been times when I want to call her, then remember I can't. That's the hardest so far. It's been over a year, and I don't think you can ever really get over loosing a parent.

Jo, my sister recently married a wonderful man, Mike Albertson. His parents and our parents were friends for many years. Mike was a great comfort to Jo and the kids during mom's passing. He has been a wonderful step-father to Jo's kids, and loves them all tremendously. I'm happy knowing she has found a wonderful, kind, considerate, loving man to share her life with.

Dan's family suffered a loss also last year. His dad, Eugene passed away in Oct from a lung infection. That was hard also, as it came on suddenly, and no matter how much you prepare yourself, loosing a parent at any age is difficult. I'm sure him and mom are up there just chatting away.

We've also added a few new tractors, International CASE, and a new cattle barn to the farm. Oh, and we've moved to the farm also, almost forgot! Nothing else new besides that, just working hard. Enjoying the weather, and all the challenges that life throw our way.

I'm sure most of you already know all this, but just wanted to give a quick update. I'll will try to be better about coming here. I'll do a little updating on here, so please have patience, and excuse the dust!
