Luke wanted to come out to the Farm so Mom invited us for spaghetti supper on their deck. Uncle Glenn and Aunt Janis came too. It was a very nice evening!
Our nephew, Luke Harris, has spent the last 4 months in Iraq as a member of the Air Force. We really missed him! But he came home the weekend before Labor Day weekend and we celebrated with family cookouts for a week.
Luke had been planning for the last few months on upgrading his Ford truck. He had purchased some stuff online and had it shipped to his parents home. So he couldn't wait to get to work on it. Here he is taking off his old bumper to add a new bumper.
Elaine and Melinda grew up riding horses and are natural horsewomen. It had been a dream of mine to be able to ride with them but I was always afraid of the horses. Finally, in my 30's Melinda had a horse I could learn on and she taught me how to do everything. Then she and Elaine would take me on trail rides with them. I got to do it for about 3 years before my body gave out. I'm so thankful that I got those 3 years to do something so enjoyable.
Lee grew up riding too. He rode "Roller". Jenny and Luke rode too but not as often as Lee. The kids are naturals too.
Here is just a little bit showing Elaine and Melinda riding together.
