Working around the Wow Wee Ranch

                                     I suppose if that's where the mouse goes so will a kitten?

                                              Everyone enjoys a break to read the paper.

                    We removed an old fence along one side of the property with D's help on the tractor.

There was a very old hay rake way out back hidden in the weeds so Randy pulled it out with D's help. It was in really good shape so he took it to the front pasture by the pool and our trailer until he figures out what to do with it.

There's no makings we can see that would allow us to learn more about this old hay rake but we all wish it could talk and tell us it's story!
Randy has named his 13 acres the Wow Wee Ranch....look for cattle (burgers and steak) next year!

Late June

We had a party for the Bahnmiller clan.  Bev had Jason and Jill's families and we had Jody and Randy's families.  Bev won with 9 attendees to my 6.

                                   Here's one way to dry a kitten after a bath.  Moe was curious.

                                           On the other hand, Patches would prefer to nap.

Randy & Renato both REALLY enjoy cooking out.  Renato shows Randy how to BBQ Brazilian style on a make shift set up.....but it was darn good to eat!

Jody & Renato drove up for a couple weeks after they moved to the Atlanta area and while she is waiting to start a new job.

                                                      This is Two Men and a Grill.

This fellow was in the bean field next door one morning, usually they are out back.  Bet there's a good chance it will be on the grill this fall!

Larry, Moe and Curley have all learned how to climb trees but Moe hasn't figured out how to get down yet.

Don & Zola had us plus Joan & Al over to play cards and we took a break to ride around Wamplers Lake on their new pontoon in the evening.

Early June activities

What's wrong with this picture???????????

 

                                                         Building a deck for the pool.

 

                   Devyn's soccer team, Rush, won the Jackson weekend tournament by going 4-0.

                                           If you have a garden you have some work to do.

                                Now that the deck is built it's time to install a good set of steps.

                                                                      

                                                                        The pool is open!

May in Michigan

                                   Judy had her second hip replaced 4/26 at St Joe's in Ypsilanti.

                                                          You know who these folk are!

 Randy replaced a weed hill with a rock wall in the back yard.  He gets his money's worth from the John Deere.

 

       Our home in the front pasture down the hill from Randy & Devyn's home.

 

Planting the new garden.

 

Fixing  broken pool pipes from this winters freeze, also added new unions so it will not happen again.

 

Our favorite soccer player in action.

After a week at Indian Creek CG we moved 16 miles to Randy's pasture.  We made a few ruts but didn't come close to getting stuck.  After we set up and had a rest we picked Devyn up after school, Randy has taken her to soccer practice this evening and it's raining pretty good right now.

                                                          Fixing the security night light.

                                Cleaning the flower beds prior to redoing & improving them.

With the horses gone the front pasture can now get some use as a garden.  One of Randy's friends still had his tiller attached so he stoipped by to grind up some sod.

Indian Creek CG Tecumseh, MI

We made the 160 mile trip to Tecumseh and Indian Creek.  We were concerned about pulling into Randy's pasture and getting stuck again si we decided to wait.

We picked up from school our favorite reason for returning to Michigan after dropping the trailer which we'll set up later.  We are enjoying time with Randy & Devyn.

 Wednesday night a little after 10pm we were watching TV during a thunder storm when lightening struck a tree 150 feet from us.  It was VERY loud.  Judy jumped out of her chair and screamed while Patches clung to the ceiling.  The next day we spotted the damaged tree.
