Farmer talk: I overheard Tom ending a phone conversation with another farmer saying, "I better go, taking
the wife out for dinner."
Tom made some machinery upgrades this season including the combine and bean head in this picture. To the ROW (rest of world) these are better known as big boy toys. Actually, I'm looking forward to riding in the new combine later this afternoon!
Ken and Kathy's son Ben married Courtney at Red Rocks outside Golden, Colorado last weekend. It was a beautiful wedding, and lots of fun to spend it with gang from IL!
We all decided we need to go back to Red Rocks for a concert. What a venue!
My work colleagues in Las Vegas before our successful accreditation hearing. Our program has now enjoyed accreditation for 30 years!
We're giggling because Brent made a hilarious (aka, inappropriate) comment as we were posing with our new accreditation certificate! It's such a blast to go to work everyday with people you enjoy.
Our students won first place in the nation in the "Park of the Future" contest. Tracy was their mentor.
Beata, Paul, and Patricia were visiting ISU from Opole University in Poland. They spent the night at the farm to enjoy some home cooked food and pie.
Kenny invited the Poles, Tom, myself, and Mark to ride the trails at Oliver's Crossing on the 4-wheelers. This was a highlight for the Poles. The only problem was when I encountered a bridge that was a tad too narrow for me and my machine, and so the 4-wheeler and I kind of fell through the bridge. Here are the guys coming to the rescue.
Riding the trails!
Picky, picky...
