Home Sweet Home!

Well as most people already know - we are home! I know the first thing I should have done when I got home was to update this, but that didn't happen. We got home on Thursday morning. after spending a fun night in the camper in a gas station parking lot in Mankato...we finally got home the next morning. It was dark by the time we got to Mankato on Wed. night, so we had to stop (oversize load restrictions). So close yet so far!

The summer harvest is over just as quickly as it seemed to begin. For our first year doing this I think things went really well. We learned so much and have many, many memories - some bad and lots of good ones. Looking back at the things that worried me some: snakes, poisenous spiders, accidents on the road or with machinery, no one making it home alive because we would all strangle each other living in a camper all summer.....I have to say I have never been more THANKFUL, because we didn't have any major injuries.

We are getting used to home again. The humidity really hit us, we were liking South Dakota's mostly dry heat. Home has never felt so good though. Our own bed, bathroom, TV (what's that again?), counterspace, clothesline, yard, familiar people and places....life is good.

Thank you everyone who has been following our adventures and encouraging us along the wheat harvest this summer. It meant a lot to us. I will put some pictures of the fall harvest on here when we start that in a short whil, it will be fun to combine around home again! Here are some pictures from the last week:

Hanging out with my relatives for an afternoon! Katie, Cecelia, and Naomi
They came to South Dakota for a week and I met them in the Badlands and spent an afternoon with their family.


We saw lots of Buffalo, it is always fun to watch them.






Andy & Jon hard at work!
