So today we went back to the Limon, CO pre-cutting status – vacation.
Callie and I decided we’d take advantage of the swimming pool this afternoon and cool down a little in the water. The trailer house does a fantastic job of keeping us plenty cool – sometimes, almost too cool. The blankets seem to stay out of the drawer most of the time.
Callie & Kaidence watching a movie together.
Leon & Jada Bulgin of Hoffman Harvesting (Bowdle, SD) are also parked in the Limon KOA this year. Callie and I thought maybe we should give Jada a break (she was in the process of fixing supper for her huge crew) and see if Miss Kaidence would like to go with us. She took us up on the idea. Oh my gosh – it’s so much fun having a little girl around again!! Callie and Kaidence hit it off pretty darn good!
Jim and Callie took off after supper and headed out to the “home place” to start the clean up. They decided to take advantage of the clouds and the breeze to get the header cleaned of the field dirt and wheat straw. Callie was sort of bribed with the idea being that if she helped, Jim would take her to McDonalds for a treat. It’s dark now and the storm clouds are producing lightning and wind. I don’t see a big storm moving in and it doesn’t look like it will be here for very long. My concern, though, is the lightning. It’ s straight down from the sky to the ground. With this drought as severe as it is, we all know what that can start…fire. The wind won’t help matters either. I pray nothing comes from this. The lightning/thunder is CRAZY right now! Nothing better than a summer thunderstorm to end the day. And…IT’S RAINING!! A LOT!!!
Taylor should be headed north again. The FBLA National Conference is over tonight. They were going to leave San Antonio and spend the night somewhere in Texas. They’ll be home tomorrow – early evening. She and Jenna will head for Limon on the fourth. I can’t wait to see Gina!!! (and Taylor) 🙂
