We started our week-end off by going over to my father-in-laws. My husband needed to work on the tractor and so I made a pot of Taco soup for everyone for supper. It was a beauiful afternoon there. The pictures I will be sharing here are from our afternoon there.

As you can see, he got the tractor going again. He loves being on a tractor. I believe if he could, he would search out for pastures that need to be cut, just so he could "ride his tractor", lol.....

It is a beauiful place his father has. His parents bought this place together many years ago. It has always been a second home to us. We only live about 5 mintues from the home place.

The house is small, but comfortable and homey. We have spent many of days in there with family. Many dinners for holidays, birthdays and just to be together. The front yard has seen many egg hunts, football games and playing tag. 

Many of "men talks" have happened right here in this barn. Oh, they say they are working on something, but we ladies know. They are just getting together, bonding (or what ever 4 brothers and a father call it) talk. Sometimes they are just standing there and starring at the gound. But that is my husbands family. They may not say much, but the quietness says so much between them.

But as usual, everything must come to end, the tractor needs to head to the barn, and everyone comes to the dinner table for "supper". It was a good visit, all of my daughters were there and more memories were made.

Now off to the kitchen. I need to get some baking done. On my list is:

• Wheat Bread
• Rolls
• Apple muffins
• Oatmeal Cookies

I also have pears and apples to get put up. I am hoping to make apple butter and pear butter. We will see how the day goes.

I also need to get the laundry going. So, boy have I got a lot to do and I did not even mention school work. There is always school work that needs done each day.

Have a good day at your home !!

Dear Pat,
Thank you for sharing so many wonderful pictures with your events of the weekend and Monday. They are wonderful!
I like your blog lay out with the three collumns and the clip art style pictures you have decorated with. Is all of your stuff in the coding? Was it pretty simple to put togeather? I am new to the bloging world and am trying to make it a little different, but the goal is to blog and that is being met. *smile*
Thank you agin for the pictures with the update.
Sincerely, -me- (Mommy of two little blessings)
