Sneak peek of the FURY

Steve got his last fitting done on his new racecar this weekend. The car should be done by December. Here's a few pics to hold u over until then.

The funny car cage is a perfect fit!

Heavy heart

This past week has been full of tragic news and has really made my heart heavy. My co-worker's husband passed away unexpectedly on Thursday at the age of 50. My heart has been aching for her. She always spoke so highly of him. They had no kids and did everything together.

In addition, a friend of mine lost two cousins age 3 and 2 in a house fire. My heart has been so heavy for that family as well.

They have both been in my prayers. Please add them to yours.

Gerber Baby

I have nicknamed my neighbors baby Gerber baby because I think she looks just like the Gerber baby. Those big blue eyes are irresistible. I can't refrain from kissing those cheeks either when I see her. Last night, I got the privilege of babysitting her. She's such a good baby. Here are a few pics. My favorite is of her and Steve. She constantly keeps her tongue on her two little front teeth that are growing. She's only 8 months old and already walking. You can vote for her as the next Gerber baby on http://www.gerber.com/Photo/#/vote/ her id is 56004 and her name is Kaycee

Visitors

I planted way too many morning glories for my trellis. Steve and I decided to cut them down after they grew into an unruly mound. The next day, I thought there were dead leaves hanging from the sun on the trellis. After focusing my eyes, I realized it was a mound of bees!!!! I called my friend who works here at the prairie chicken farm to find out if she knew of any local beekeepers to come remove them. She informed me that when bees travel a lot of times they rest wherever they can and it's very temporary. She assured me they would be gone by Monday. But, if not, she would find a beekeeper for me. We had dinner plans with her that night. So, she said she'd swing by and come check out the bees. Well, lo and behold, an hour before she came over, they were gone. I never knew bees did this. I wish I would have seen them leave. I wonder if they ascend all at once in a group. Or, if they go one by one. I will never know.....

Fruit of my labor

The one watermelon that successfully grew in my garden was finally ready for picking. It amazingly turned out ok. Next year, I think I will need a bigger garden bed for planting watermelon.
