Speed vacationing

It won't be long before our son heads off to college!

Look carefully and you'll see a bicycle rack on the front of Tom's tractor.  This way he can leave the outfit at the field and ride home on his bike.  The organic crop inspector was very impressed, as was his wife.

Not all our farms are organic though, hence the crop duster.

At a place where your next door neighbor is nearly 2 miles away and you can count on one hand how many cars pass your house in a day, you can see the excitement a crop dusting can bring to a farm girl.

Meanwhile back on the organic 80 farm Tom has tried to convince us that walking beans for cocklebur is more like leisure than paddling a tandem kayak down the Delaware River in upstate NY.

Dan advocated for an abbreviated family vacation this summer.  This, after our 10 day family trip to the west coast over Christmas.  

Dan is helping his dad go fashion forward with some cool black-n-blue socks to match his shirt and shoes.

Dan assigned me 102% on our family vacation. It was a lot of fun and only 24 hours long!







This next paragraph is about my grandfather from the 50 year ago column in this week's Hancock Herald.
The Village and Town of Hancock as well as the surrounding areas, lost a leading citizen on Saturday afternoon, July 20, 1963. Death claimed the life of Vincent N. Elwood. A resident of East Main Street, a lawyer for over 50 years and a prominent member of the Republican Party. Failing in health, the well known and highly respected attorney was at his desk in the office of Elwood & Elwood, until the past few weeks. Funeral services were held at the Emory United Methodist Church were he had been a faithful member for many years. He was 79 years old.
