We've been here at Perth for about seven weeks. Harvest is over and we are doing Fall work in the fields. It has been a very busy time and we are getting tired. Harvest was a fun time. I drove one of the three combines nearly every day for about three weeks. Every evening, Evelyn, Emily and Sandra would bring supper out to the field. They would set up a table and serve the meal to everyone. It is sort of a tradition with them and they call it "meals-on-wheels". It was a lot of fun.
We gave Brenden his rocking horse and he will be riding it before long. He is really growing and is on the verge of walking.
Last Saturday was Larry and Evelyn's 55th wedding anniversary, so we planned a cook-out and grilled rib-eye steaks. We invited about 20 friends including five of their six children and four of the grandchildren. We have fixed a picnic area next to where we have our camper parked and have a fire-ring. We all sat around the fire until late in the night. Larry and Evelyn seemed to enjoy themselves and appreciated everyone coming.
The weather is cooling off considerably with night-time temperatures getting down in the upper 30's and 40's. Most days are very nice with temperatures in the 60's. There have been a few sprinkles but no real rain since we have been here. They are beginning to need rain.
Larry and Evelyn's granddaughter Melissa plays volleyball and Emily goes with them to most of the games.

Wow! Thanks for all the news and pics. You really drove that huge machine?!?! The little rocking horse looks very familiar. I wonder how you are able to make it without all of your tools...or maybe you HAVE all of your tools (!) or maybe you made it in Grandview and carried it with you to ND?
We envy you the fall weather as it is still summertime here in East Texas.
