The old garden still has sweet corn, strawberries, and onions planted in it. The rest of the space will be used for a fall garden. The big garden has the tomatoes, summer & winter squash, cucumbers, green & black beans, okra, broccoli, watermelon, pumpkins, and peppers. Some things are growing better than others, but that is to be expected especially considering where I planted them. We finally have enough for the market, but I am going to Oklahoma this weekend so that is where the produce will be sold. Hayden's flowers continue to bloom and are just beautiful, as are the morning glories climbing the fence of the old garden. The house additions include the finished roof, guttering, and the painting of the attached building. Our most recent guests asked if it was a new side building - oh what a gallon of paint can disguise!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>hoffmanhaciendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07750817447363430397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550052173286652264.post-18794892512449740182010-07-19T13:20:00.000-07:002010-07-19T13:45:32.278-07:00One big weekend!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizDISeTwAfGgtCTsw6TjHtKJmz15C2HPYNgAFx8WjstllyscB8rnvnBnzgVT17Z3ut6Rj4mR7W5p0yxUi0a3iybQPtXwulGPhXyPrEQ8F9bTI_3xadVXvZ4XltZ_rurpEKjH2SyS4FIXDP/s1600/P1010048.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495720708292948786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizDISeTwAfGgtCTsw6TjHtKJmz15C2HPYNgAFx8WjstllyscB8rnvnBnzgVT17Z3ut6Rj4mR7W5p0yxUi0a3iybQPtXwulGPhXyPrEQ8F9bTI_3xadVXvZ4XltZ_rurpEKjH2SyS4FIXDP/s200/P1010048.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoDx3U7TH3ysQPLwubRYMsVPcjS2JjveuYSEQFqXvyL0BEu2Zb3AtD9EIBKK4R6luzjWB42sqhtzHes5yaU8cUzLpGBgtor7IGGNWIe-dHKKpluWuIz5oQFXwwTVMacZiXIwHDls5pn-Qi/s1600/P1010042.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495720701985518882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoDx3U7TH3ysQPLwubRYMsVPcjS2JjveuYSEQFqXvyL0BEu2Zb3AtD9EIBKK4R6luzjWB42sqhtzHes5yaU8cUzLpGBgtor7IGGNWIe-dHKKpluWuIz5oQFXwwTVMacZiXIwHDls5pn-Qi/s200/P1010042.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD07K3cwA7kE_KcSBNCxfqyBCXpTvms5hyphenhyphenkddiL-mA6poQQqvt41RnbneFLc3xVA4aQ96jPMIpM9b35JN5-S22-od5FqZXhJ72cSUAdr_teq2B3In_zr_b8yJHtsXcjiqO33k_jklZ1drd/s1600/P1010052.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495720693965445938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD07K3cwA7kE_KcSBNCxfqyBCXpTvms5hyphenhyphenkddiL-mA6poQQqvt41RnbneFLc3xVA4aQ96jPMIpM9b35JN5-S22-od5FqZXhJ72cSUAdr_teq2B3In_zr_b8yJHtsXcjiqO33k_jklZ1drd/s200/P1010052.JPG" /></a><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495720679857617330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS4llFkxLW3BkZUke1qaV9CP8mwimvgPEVMgnJw4E-WwwnJS43kaTOjiKAyVtBbS28AaNdNrJWxyE2omdFXWERZdttIAx4f2CQhKHYetL75QW5axuk1HdNZemT2mkoplcNeSDCktLpr9Nw/s200/P1010050.JPG" /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd8t5WMOKwTrGWx-MhGEkcvqP6Px8rmqiGrETUTWNTrMEumz7E7-P76DU7EzJiJOCL-7cumAp6DyYG5wK_oSWzTtnSj0vNBQxT1BcmNot54Qm3MVdYxVz_D28LGCyuwqO81oVPtA_xiYuD/s1600/P1010051.JPG"></a> So from July 9 to the morning of July 12th Daniel and myself worked probably 45 hours on the house. Daniel and his cousin Kevin framed out the pitch on the top of the roof to correct our leaking flat roof and I washed, primed, and painted all of the outside trim around the house. After that was done, we (mostly Daniel) put up guttering all along the house. With the exception of a few problems (that are correctable) it all held up well during a recent downpour! It is amazing what a little paint can do. I also painted one of the attached buildings but haven't taken a picture of the finished project yet. Maybe later when it cools off a little!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>hoffmanhaciendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07750817447363430397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550052173286652264.post-21937049541207069882010-07-06T14:30:00.000-07:002010-07-19T14:16:01.226-07:00BEFORE & AFTER!<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTZr_muAGRC5N0QrWVP8N0AYqNn4EtmUpEAnv2Qqr9kD-xiQpi86NSaauI49K1j53qjU9iqjPCPNtO5MOuCqY2g1EO2gTtxZM-DAtrFxrej4SJbJ28MdAimHaiMePpSFMfewY3NC_U8yP8/s1600/P1010985.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

I started off a "little" behind (i.e. the weeds had a huge jumpstart since they moved in before I did!) but I am starting to feel like we may be on an even playing field soon! I have however been working 12 hour days since I got here to try to get to that point! We have enjoyed fresh carrots, peas, lettuce, spinach, beets, radishes, turnips(which we decided we didn't like!) thus far. Our red onions from sets were a bust and red potatoes are curing in the basement - should be ready to eat in a week and a half. We have tomatoes, sweet corn, green beans, black beans, okra, watermelon, peppers, pumpkins, summer squash, acorn squash, and cucumbers planted. We have found that our new garden, where all of the tomatoes and warm season crops are does not drain worth a darn. I have lost quite a few tomato plants as we have had a lot of rain this spring and early part of summer. Good thing Daniel's dad and I put in around 225 tomato plants to start with! Live and Learn is our new motto out here! </div></div><br /><div>Our intention was to have enough produce to sell at the farmers market! Hasn't quite happened yet - I thought I was putting in way more than enough, but as this is my first time to grow anything other than tomatoes, I've learned that I really planted enough to feed about 6 people. Hopefully the tomatoes and summers crops will come through and we can still go to the farmers market! </div><br /><div><div>We had a lot of work to do to get the new garden ready for planting so there is a picture of where it started and where it was a few weeks ago.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiEXIeu4T2BlSzW2A8NmIz5N9cM5LZylaIExgAPZn0XDDBG97yEIcPeL3fo_iTdpH9X0vUZFX0jkfvPxO0FRP2p1689-if99t-QhO0yqxfXfwQHKEhRb5tx3nlaipB1tiW8E_E6Wj1Z2In/s1600/P1011021.JPG"></a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>hoffmanhaciendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07750817447363430397noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550052173286652264.post-18457095667979591112010-06-22T14:11:00.000-07:002010-06-22T14:32:08.474-07:00It's Electric (anyone sliding?!)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkmwXudzQFtlMnQLM-Ox2GuT9fWSXPqU-Y6ZcADA4qE47-ZcKD3xK7Ta0ThIyZG268IAlNCUgbWREEv7QGH7uQVw46E3hTTvutGRR63eE9NZSsPfKy_Ql-cWnC5jsVXx5Oh8s_OHxA5TFo/s1600/P1011016.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485712177041427122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkmwXudzQFtlMnQLM-Ox2GuT9fWSXPqU-Y6ZcADA4qE47-ZcKD3xK7Ta0ThIyZG268IAlNCUgbWREEv7QGH7uQVw46E3hTTvutGRR63eE9NZSsPfKy_Ql-cWnC5jsVXx5Oh8s_OHxA5TFo/s200/P1011016.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoXKMsJ3lftl_s_ZORwEEmuG7L5_yBz7VOusnReA4eLyx_aFU4djg8WG4w-zYpuaKEDjJzOI2UcP3wpLnNU09b1i7W92CqTRCtWA_zjggXCzMaa3IyrNuFUW7r_tNFpFwkbE-u9qFAdlP4/s1600/P1010997.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485712175212013458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoXKMsJ3lftl_s_ZORwEEmuG7L5_yBz7VOusnReA4eLyx_aFU4djg8WG4w-zYpuaKEDjJzOI2UcP3wpLnNU09b1i7W92CqTRCtWA_zjggXCzMaa3IyrNuFUW7r_tNFpFwkbE-u9qFAdlP4/s200/P1010997.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwkOvEWsIy-FyZUGWf0AqcdeIohOofQA__OXh2L79AmIPhblyzmJXqJOfHKSFenjWIN-fmWv0qHPaiZQ4Elc6WqwGpkkHsPHzLgckX3L2hB1djbrYqe1Tnc2G5wDNhVcozLSA_b_1k4DTD/s1600/P1010995.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 210px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485712165300177778" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwkOvEWsIy-FyZUGWf0AqcdeIohOofQA__OXh2L79AmIPhblyzmJXqJOfHKSFenjWIN-fmWv0qHPaiZQ4Elc6WqwGpkkHsPHzLgckX3L2hB1djbrYqe1Tnc2G5wDNhVcozLSA_b_1k4DTD/s200/P1010995.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyzywr9QI4kIUE42SrawagoAUH41fOefRmbgg0mnFtr0b6nKZ9JDvbvnPoDfGvEFABuhAhuw4Awde1px1R3Il75zu_aFNpCzRBwKNXDMD45GBcYBtrm6NynSVGejG5sfqetuXmyMBIvoHE/s1600/P1010991.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485712161225160482" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyzywr9QI4kIUE42SrawagoAUH41fOefRmbgg0mnFtr0b6nKZ9JDvbvnPoDfGvEFABuhAhuw4Awde1px1R3Il75zu_aFNpCzRBwKNXDMD45GBcYBtrm6NynSVGejG5sfqetuXmyMBIvoHE/s200/P1010991.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2afNucdIuKvlY2Ut4CXKwjGGLcncnHofu0CMafvCJJs4VtUx3XErlctNVj2qfqnEAIWVYJ7Z63MUJN3U6c_ehJHGWA3H41_BqB-hXXN-wfwEksaFievPjosdKNZSKxF_-JCZWrepNdRSZ/s1600/P1010988.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485712151115976338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2afNucdIuKvlY2Ut4CXKwjGGLcncnHofu0CMafvCJJs4VtUx3XErlctNVj2qfqnEAIWVYJ7Z63MUJN3U6c_ehJHGWA3H41_BqB-hXXN-wfwEksaFievPjosdKNZSKxF_-JCZWrepNdRSZ/s200/P1010988.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Oh the electric - my mom's greatest fear with this house! As I write this all of our lines are officially grounded, which I'm told is a good thing. We had the help of one of Daniel's cousins and his buddy that just happens to be an electrician. That sure did come in handy as it ended up like most projects out here - more than we expected! We replaced all of the poles outside and all of the cords are now in an actual electric box in the basement. It looks really good outside. We still have to change out the lines inside and add some outlets. As like any old farmhouse, we are lucky if a room has one outlet! I keep asking for my one outlet on a kitchen wall so that my TV can be mounted and I can watch GMA as I eat my cereal in the morning - it's the little things that matter! Some of the pictures show where Daniel has taken off the lathe and plaster in the foyer and the upstairs hallway. Once the inside wires are replaced we will put in insulation and hang the drywall! One of the other pictures shows the line outside where the wires leading to the house are also now underground instead of big scary wires hanging from the pole to the house. The jumbled mess of electrical wires in one of the pictures is where all of the wires were instead of being in an electrical box - how scary!</div></div></div></div></div>hoffmanhaciendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07750817447363430397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550052173286652264.post-53040504342234020852010-06-22T13:58:00.000-07:002010-06-22T15:28:47.213-07:00I can see it so clearly now.....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgANVlXVMfm5KG1Lu7WGV3V71dfb08TLKw6GvfIFHOV7dK5WoetsBVxIhSTtBbOtJwchlCeWV45LCL7y7Anqq_7Y7sewVxF_CfS02cVg7-sD3BBp66B8I5PMTQ9pcPxT11cORl8SGHRX6qO/s1600/P1010884.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485727837281621106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgANVlXVMfm5KG1Lu7WGV3V71dfb08TLKw6GvfIFHOV7dK5WoetsBVxIhSTtBbOtJwchlCeWV45LCL7y7Anqq_7Y7sewVxF_CfS02cVg7-sD3BBp66B8I5PMTQ9pcPxT11cORl8SGHRX6qO/s200/P1010884.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhprl-zgKoGEk4zELrKLiMmq30em-I2fh_8bDE04K4RKMCo08WkFp0oy7rAhnt1NM038iKtixbKG2liewpumFePQ15eW14HdHY7l1b8ryC47c0AF7F9WPlA8G__NA7B6ALPeLeBTddGzV32/s1600/P1010890.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485727834517190754" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhprl-zgKoGEk4zELrKLiMmq30em-I2fh_8bDE04K4RKMCo08WkFp0oy7rAhnt1NM038iKtixbKG2liewpumFePQ15eW14HdHY7l1b8ryC47c0AF7F9WPlA8G__NA7B6ALPeLeBTddGzV32/s200/P1010890.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJX7TSj9K0HJdUR-3gDS4hNngXffNHt0pGlzP9TpOiKKUZqmRUG8PsHAYj_K_aLpK44RF2po2FAqOyZx_NjEjGZ8qsAk35pD2m2WzBgFX-ZuG82PsNkz0u0o_4_fuglkxaRu6YoH1mtuSJ/s1600/P1010889.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485727829052313618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJX7TSj9K0HJdUR-3gDS4hNngXffNHt0pGlzP9TpOiKKUZqmRUG8PsHAYj_K_aLpK44RF2po2FAqOyZx_NjEjGZ8qsAk35pD2m2WzBgFX-ZuG82PsNkz0u0o_4_fuglkxaRu6YoH1mtuSJ/s200/P1010889.JPG" /></a><br /><div>The new windows were a huge improvement to the house this winter. From the few old pictures of the house that we have, it looks like we replaced windows that the house had in the 1920's! It was definitely time - we had a multitude of leaks, vents, and passages for unwelcome insects! The one picture of the house has the one new window compared to all the old ones. I need to take some pictures of the house now, with the new windows so you could see the before and after. I told Daniel one morning after we got the new windows that we had a new cardinal eating at the birdfeeder and that he was the brightest cardinal I had ever seen. He said it wasn't a new cardinal, I could just see it clearly through the new windows!</div></div></div>hoffmanhaciendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07750817447363430397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550052173286652264.post-8141784539443216292010-06-09T08:58:00.000-07:002010-06-22T13:57:57.240-07:00June - Time sure does fly!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLpZwZpv7GCSJv7jlrza9zZ8nuZghXCWAogK5tRiAEbEy7s37ARUf9MB5CpnVH8xvXJEDzriLLTXa_ra0HtQoNWc4NnPqea4GVbzmseefru-wcd1aKtapeX1pz1SgV9fOQq41clj7VNxzK/s1600/P1010984.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485703064680060962" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLpZwZpv7GCSJv7jlrza9zZ8nuZghXCWAogK5tRiAEbEy7s37ARUf9MB5CpnVH8xvXJEDzriLLTXa_ra0HtQoNWc4NnPqea4GVbzmseefru-wcd1aKtapeX1pz1SgV9fOQq41clj7VNxzK/s200/P1010984.JPG" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVlA-qlDD_mOSkohcvAB6ZKHQ_W8PAzK7c1DI5PCzYoJmJqUswPWvPkZPQkLZ1DEZr3rCAlz9qbltr4SbZhoWm6phjs8MMRx44CgdoRKmDnh4xshGTplVmLfgSCH7ahsa6_klK7HSGTFXd/s1600/P1010960.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485703061226275858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVlA-qlDD_mOSkohcvAB6ZKHQ_W8PAzK7c1DI5PCzYoJmJqUswPWvPkZPQkLZ1DEZr3rCAlz9qbltr4SbZhoWm6phjs8MMRx44CgdoRKmDnh4xshGTplVmLfgSCH7ahsa6_klK7HSGTFXd/s200/P1010960.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />So the official move for me happened at the end of May after the last day of school in Oklahoma. It was a very sad week and I was very sad to leave my friends and family in Oklahoma! Thankfully there is plenty to do up here that keeps my mind off of being sad about not being there! Plus it is my summer vacation, so that is something to be happy about! Yet again I have neglected the blog, but now that I will be staying in one place it should be a little easier to keep it updated (plus I promised numerous people that I would!) A lot of work has been done so it is hard to know where to start! There is the electric, the gardens, the new windows, the constant fight with weeds, and of course the continuous outside clean up effort! My mom showed these pictures to some of her friends and she couldn't believe it was the same couple - one weekend in Jamaica and the next planting our first tomatoes of 2010.hoffmanhaciendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07750817447363430397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550052173286652264.post-39581927283779731142010-03-27T08:22:00.000-07:002010-03-27T08:44:20.763-07:00Dog,Dogs,Dogs!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB_48eD-3txhfqGw30QOxaOVflHKHg864wP7hy7J7J7u-gW3-9Vylsoze7Y8lwm6_AY4jToDkuaLkGvuZXqLf3Q41ZDX6L-BJz3vD038sDb891ecTZTaZfzH6uLPCttgwACjiVwk2BOJFq/s1600/P1010907.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453339250658825346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB_48eD-3txhfqGw30QOxaOVflHKHg864wP7hy7J7J7u-gW3-9Vylsoze7Y8lwm6_AY4jToDkuaLkGvuZXqLf3Q41ZDX6L-BJz3vD038sDb891ecTZTaZfzH6uLPCttgwACjiVwk2BOJFq/s200/P1010907.JPG" /></a>So we have now realized that we have dogs that are going to be in the group of dogs that don't learn from being sprayed by a skunk once!

When their not busy being sprayed their new favorite hobby is hunting mice! To my knowledge they have caught one but they are persistent. It doesn't help that we are trying to do away with the rodents hiding spots and the girls are right there to pounce! They are getting a little more liberty when we are outside and loving every minute of it!hoffmanhaciendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07750817447363430397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550052173286652264.post-51826650032577428762009-12-12T13:16:00.001-08:002009-12-12T13:26:02.227-08:00A Room with a View!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu099Googv0Cj06a7HtIjroX2BVIW9hV2lCTbEPOOWiYe0q6J1ibFYxOgIw587Ntk5k2j1V_8pIEyHHSvIppg4vXaPmXC-efRciZdYKSdSVlKp43C0E1xyNsCTWUar4iKKNR5iDMYzjSpM/s1600-h/P1011024.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414464026927564578" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu099Googv0Cj06a7HtIjroX2BVIW9hV2lCTbEPOOWiYe0q6J1ibFYxOgIw587Ntk5k2j1V_8pIEyHHSvIppg4vXaPmXC-efRciZdYKSdSVlKp43C0E1xyNsCTWUar4iKKNR5iDMYzjSpM/s200/P1011024.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW9HNXJcKTd7XvhuhbimqwMlUa_86wbGyRjFf6Y1q_ITZC1TYPMp2_fYW_xET9zLaRgme9rW_Ab-qkNDrlEHVtzH80fxe7wzDlznepFH2YNcZ2VQDu5pAihi5a0BJ32Fdiu6e7gBa192mv/s1600-h/P1011023.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414464021637396322" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW9HNXJcKTd7XvhuhbimqwMlUa_86wbGyRjFf6Y1q_ITZC1TYPMp2_fYW_xET9zLaRgme9rW_Ab-qkNDrlEHVtzH80fxe7wzDlznepFH2YNcZ2VQDu5pAihi5a0BJ32Fdiu6e7gBa192mv/s200/P1011023.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXKEd_8SlhVglOQ4cggajw0BonsqPwCuThv5_ZDOH0PVKvdOP2oH7T-IiEfkhtrnHuH5NsPwi9K0P-n93oPu_i69kTukm1pjNGu2BPJOTrKqRqnowVGl1lbGab30Nic99w_unSjb7RJxjT/s1600-h/P1011022.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414464015753733730" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXKEd_8SlhVglOQ4cggajw0BonsqPwCuThv5_ZDOH0PVKvdOP2oH7T-IiEfkhtrnHuH5NsPwi9K0P-n93oPu_i69kTukm1pjNGu2BPJOTrKqRqnowVGl1lbGab30Nic99w_unSjb7RJxjT/s200/P1011022.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoBvZx7ctTrJEu1AJs9lSUJ8clOGqXJvANyia2jw3DHRXtimBg4-PCZx0rFOMaCnbSWw7_7NSrG6qrIF_XTSs7qbBcWLS6IPtvcEq76rhYnEegRBxGeu92XhBlqwFnoQQWZfLP8uaIhm22/s1600-h/P1011021.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414464008230274482" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoBvZx7ctTrJEu1AJs9lSUJ8clOGqXJvANyia2jw3DHRXtimBg4-PCZx0rFOMaCnbSWw7_7NSrG6qrIF_XTSs7qbBcWLS6IPtvcEq76rhYnEegRBxGeu92XhBlqwFnoQQWZfLP8uaIhm22/s200/P1011021.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDbN4Xzwb_b_ZY_weE4ZrEFpkplYrB93o6u_mCZZamapdliPsMXHinLjOvAj1_njUZpBLVG9A7SZNDLh6WeWnBQ5EYPI-TMUkx6D4tBfuzBQflbhyRdjAXs4S0JyAo5WYWi0ug2BP-Xocc/s1600-h/P1011020.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414464002386924098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDbN4Xzwb_b_ZY_weE4ZrEFpkplYrB93o6u_mCZZamapdliPsMXHinLjOvAj1_njUZpBLVG9A7SZNDLh6WeWnBQ5EYPI-TMUkx6D4tBfuzBQflbhyRdjAXs4S0JyAo5WYWi0ug2BP-Xocc/s200/P1011020.JPG" /></a> Daniel has almost completed reroofing the house, he only lacks the facia board and the drainage. It looks really nice and seems to be holding up well with the weather (Knock on wood!). I got up the nerve to go up through the attic to the roof!

Thankfully it stayed long enough so that I could play in the snow this weekend! Please notice that the snow people have recycled metal parts, including 14 pack stomachs! The girls love the snow, except for when their ball gets buried and they can't find it! Daniel and I are looking forward to Christmas break when I will get to be at the farm for 16 days, with the exception of being in Oklahoma for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.hoffmanhaciendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07750817447363430397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550052173286652264.post-58477456976130735302009-10-07T17:18:00.000-07:002009-10-07T17:36:24.550-07:00Oops....long time gone!It's the beginning of October and I have seriouslly neglected the blog! I was absent from the farm for most of September for one reason or another but have been back up the last two weekends and have been working hard. An update on the farm would go something like this: the tomatoes were delicious and bountiful, we finished off the metal containers with 30,000 pounds of metal, we have painted several rooms in the house, and finally figured out where the awful smell was coming from! Daniel has now moved to the farm and has been working hard cleaning up the basement and the "garage." He will be tackling the roof soon so please say a little prayer that he does it safely! He will come back to Oklahoma for home OU football games and I will go to the farm on the other weekends! A lot has been going on, but we have failed to take the camera with us the last few months! Hence, no pictures. Thankfully we will be moving all of our belongings from the apartment and the storage unit in Kansas into the farmhouse next month! Although I won't be with it, it will be nice to have all of our stuff in one place! I will try to take pictures of the fall foliage next time (we may however be skipping Fall considering snow showers are being predicted for this Sunday)!hoffmanhaciendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07750817447363430397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550052173286652264.post-1196819553016150782009-08-10T14:31:00.000-07:002009-08-19T14:46:11.880-07:00Oh What A Day!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVg96cWSPfNyD_OdpxmdRDlgKVBAKH6h3hGT-V3ZQNaQmrCdEy64hO5CbIJsVYItaB9GYeVeoVveYNPQIz3rUIKdXP6FjjcURdqjVF1Pd3AQdNeyzNNNjEMCG4OjslpAA5C_HN8CcOjQd-/s1600-h/P1011017.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371794110460316802" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVg96cWSPfNyD_OdpxmdRDlgKVBAKH6h3hGT-V3ZQNaQmrCdEy64hO5CbIJsVYItaB9GYeVeoVveYNPQIz3rUIKdXP6FjjcURdqjVF1Pd3AQdNeyzNNNjEMCG4OjslpAA5C_HN8CcOjQd-/s200/P1011017.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmRH5JzMp16FxzwBRWMrdCnd1t70vxMuvF2ltsCEw1uJ7KAwJOyT5D-XaelmNtQCp4TG3FFI-4-r11l4y6InEg7PozQlXkVCghCAouwaU3wbBbQj28hQ5Xm-r6bvc0Xh3PkJfjcDafGhnw/s1600-h/P1011016.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371794099129362482" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmRH5JzMp16FxzwBRWMrdCnd1t70vxMuvF2ltsCEw1uJ7KAwJOyT5D-XaelmNtQCp4TG3FFI-4-r11l4y6InEg7PozQlXkVCghCAouwaU3wbBbQj28hQ5Xm-r6bvc0Xh3PkJfjcDafGhnw/s200/P1011016.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR1Zgs23A4FYCuFiqstqq-FC0UR_lLhvinTLM_7NHKGBW3Ogne8lFtnXCzVkMj9OE-wPY98Drixhl8K7WLdo9eTmiCzWMBM8ELof7KNHQfmDBzSRVzMsu_iAK9OkIg7Xxbk-5TdHgolSxr/s1600-h/P1011014.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371794082260118322" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR1Zgs23A4FYCuFiqstqq-FC0UR_lLhvinTLM_7NHKGBW3Ogne8lFtnXCzVkMj9OE-wPY98Drixhl8K7WLdo9eTmiCzWMBM8ELof7KNHQfmDBzSRVzMsu_iAK9OkIg7Xxbk-5TdHgolSxr/s200/P1011014.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsIu3DGuoWyQqplSlZidBGAgptRG-8gw5Tplio2TjYM2iIRgGUSAgz2gLRFZomnSkMFOsmOFG0L4vwJiAlxplJVIphkaL_vbMkwNrWT8-0EUndjL9kblNG1NKjvhqHTKMsUtL4NHR7tgxy/s1600-h/P1011013.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371794070431602530" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsIu3DGuoWyQqplSlZidBGAgptRG-8gw5Tplio2TjYM2iIRgGUSAgz2gLRFZomnSkMFOsmOFG0L4vwJiAlxplJVIphkaL_vbMkwNrWT8-0EUndjL9kblNG1NKjvhqHTKMsUtL4NHR7tgxy/s200/P1011013.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7KRGpucUOdp9auAfQWQ1D2Y5IpS_5Qth7HzSEdX45ZKCU01EB9VPiSCWIxssTjqFjvTADxg0KVi5Dw0f6UiaXwiSWE4nwvBmYP726jIbBaZhhVkn4tV2EcS6e9pq4fROQ9eK4ESGMFOWK/s1600-h/P1011012.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371794038801745346" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7KRGpucUOdp9auAfQWQ1D2Y5IpS_5Qth7HzSEdX45ZKCU01EB9VPiSCWIxssTjqFjvTADxg0KVi5Dw0f6UiaXwiSWE4nwvBmYP726jIbBaZhhVkn4tV2EcS6e9pq4fROQ9eK4ESGMFOWK/s200/P1011012.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Our first wedding anniversary in Kansas will be more than memorable. As we were putting a new pump in the well we could see a storm brewing to the west! Kept on working until Daniel said it's coming and he was right! 80-100mph winds took us by surprise! Daniel rode out the storm in the hay barn that he had just fixed weekends before and I made it to the house. It was needless to say the worst storm either of us had witnessed in our 30 years! Lots of trees down, gutters off the roof, windows broken out, heavy metal rolls moved hundreds of yards etc.! I took some pictures of the damage, but it hardly does it justice. We were lucky though because some people had significantly more damage. The storm took down 2 miles of power lines and the transformers! The tomatoes took a huge hit, but I restaked as many as I can so we'll just have to wait and see how they do. The picture of the sky is looking out to the east after the storm passed.</div></div></div></div></div>hoffmanhaciendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07750817447363430397noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550052173286652264.post-22197323329863856552009-07-29T14:31:00.000-07:002009-07-29T14:36:54.772-07:00Dumpster #2...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWU5cH5In2OHasG90mHl2t04oZqsET6V2DatsEHJ74hmXu8Qev6J7-IEXZqbXhYvVPb8TMyIO7d1QIg5sNf0I8r_ZpbrdYba1HJI5owA7i19HvXHDOVrItt2KyUGOZzQtsjm6Cz9EoTcOX/s1600-h/P1011009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363999110902623106" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWU5cH5In2OHasG90mHl2t04oZqsET6V2DatsEHJ74hmXu8Qev6J7-IEXZqbXhYvVPb8TMyIO7d1QIg5sNf0I8r_ZpbrdYba1HJI5owA7i19HvXHDOVrItt2KyUGOZzQtsjm6Cz9EoTcOX/s200/P1011009.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>IS GONE!

Daniel thought he would light the skunks home on fire and then shoot it as it came out...the great white hunter got nothing as the skunk was not home during the invasion!</div>hoffmanhaciendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07750817447363430397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550052173286652264.post-34861984388902700312009-07-25T13:47:00.000-07:002009-07-29T14:07:53.036-07:00As the Garden Grows<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQLzgjhVUj7Cz2GA6faXMV1kStwTJqOoS3g6qm1kpgUKERhI9EHARLV2qLdkCQuSxE1uqgkqn4NQ5cDZ0DMe3k8hMyQ7K3T6TiPqDVvcGCcsB2fK4z5VI_Qo3fglyLlRhLYCAUtTf44_12/s1600-h/P1011007.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363989753134333762" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQLzgjhVUj7Cz2GA6faXMV1kStwTJqOoS3g6qm1kpgUKERhI9EHARLV2qLdkCQuSxE1uqgkqn4NQ5cDZ0DMe3k8hMyQ7K3T6TiPqDVvcGCcsB2fK4z5VI_Qo3fglyLlRhLYCAUtTf44_12/s200/P1011007.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv123WFy9l5pziMLSHv0f07LW_jvU_N646UFi8_piT8aKHilncHq5oZ2klY-W-Pl7EMK1SZd4ubiNEL8Hd8YajOS2SsM1W5afYdiYfrwkbd7gmoIvzqmjd6q3C3o0QwAIHPSGkHk03pJBt/s1600-h/P1011008.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363989392309208226" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv123WFy9l5pziMLSHv0f07LW_jvU_N646UFi8_piT8aKHilncHq5oZ2klY-W-Pl7EMK1SZd4ubiNEL8Hd8YajOS2SsM1W5afYdiYfrwkbd7gmoIvzqmjd6q3C3o0QwAIHPSGkHk03pJBt/s200/P1011008.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div align="right"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJE5vBRNdFwOsUc6uVgJB_5PdzuLYhorvpUF4Jn4svDV1YFJ5VS_FpwzW1jUKhji4AptF-AGaX1za6nd6Au_QRGr-Mc735Y2sGfOIMvno0Z6k6tPGkQsrchMFbZ3zUaAV88clbNs0h_rOG/s1600-h/P1010987.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352852336753592082" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJE5vBRNdFwOsUc6uVgJB_5PdzuLYhorvpUF4Jn4svDV1YFJ5VS_FpwzW1jUKhji4AptF-AGaX1za6nd6Au_QRGr-Mc735Y2sGfOIMvno0Z6k6tPGkQsrchMFbZ3zUaAV88clbNs0h_rOG/s200/P1010987.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />7/25/09 The garden is growing like crazy, the blooms have changed to small tomatoes, and the rain has been coming down in buckets this last week. The plants survived a hail storm with minimal damage, but now I'm hoping the uncountable amount of tomatoes won't split because of the amount of rain! I spent most of last Saturday pulling weeds and getting the area cleaned up. I had hoed the sides of the garden and grandpa wanted to know what I was going to plant! I had to laugh because I have more than enough to keep up with as it is!<br /><br /></div><p></p><br /><p>Our first garden at the farm!

It weighed in at 12,880 pounds! Too bad we couldn't have done this last summer when the price of scrap metal was over $200 a ton! We feel much stronger for having lifted so much weight into a container. I guess the John Deere helped a little at the end. Dumpster two has now been delivered so we'll be working on getting it filled. I don't think we'll have any problems!</div>hoffmanhaciendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07750817447363430397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550052173286652264.post-91152077524114973982009-05-25T13:53:00.000-07:002009-06-29T14:11:49.930-07:00Memorial Day Weekend<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0uFwskI6b_1Gpb_cqVt41gQQfj5EwYXlrRThG2qk2KVjkhwI8QpQ2Ssv_HFGbOUL8zTcnHdDoVngI7mQmujikOxy802N5hC3mVva3BZhcZ05l5ZEsaj_uXhqHw_h8KfJe3WK0EAEO6AYL/s1600-h/P1010970.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352859639414516114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0uFwskI6b_1Gpb_cqVt41gQQfj5EwYXlrRThG2qk2KVjkhwI8QpQ2Ssv_HFGbOUL8zTcnHdDoVngI7mQmujikOxy802N5hC3mVva3BZhcZ05l5ZEsaj_uXhqHw_h8KfJe3WK0EAEO6AYL/s200/P1010970.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghZQ9BiivJ7w9_8x1iQ7eirI-tuBtJ7tzwFjXag0lJHu_lMGaPcTjrsB-ltrh5s6TubBzBDCBkFRSBv642jGL33P1JrIsjb_cazIzwiI5IalacXTf9FKEN96qpTtNmJ6raR4XNRtVYlTn5/s1600-h/P1010966.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352859630121794610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghZQ9BiivJ7w9_8x1iQ7eirI-tuBtJ7tzwFjXag0lJHu_lMGaPcTjrsB-ltrh5s6TubBzBDCBkFRSBv642jGL33P1JrIsjb_cazIzwiI5IalacXTf9FKEN96qpTtNmJ6raR4XNRtVYlTn5/s200/P1010966.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeak2XOMfBHuiY6VZ_9O7_EbDL_FqkL8FFYfk4QGbJZ8qH4LXfxucKHMSk0Jsx7X1pEdnMjyWh4sLAubxu84DII9pL_XDvX5WpVoF-G4dWOIppoChJ5dKi7PXKrfyFtyWQdGVvc_EMZi7F/s1600-h/P1010955.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352859628049214178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeak2XOMfBHuiY6VZ_9O7_EbDL_FqkL8FFYfk4QGbJZ8qH4LXfxucKHMSk0Jsx7X1pEdnMjyWh4sLAubxu84DII9pL_XDvX5WpVoF-G4dWOIppoChJ5dKi7PXKrfyFtyWQdGVvc_EMZi7F/s200/P1010955.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ8BcX93daKXTKPmBXwTup9sbz3-_xwYOkaFosaks3-T9jHrdVuZw8rARcTiD0GLIR3BwHWtqMDWv3iRvqOYHcmvHYIzRrvDCuqbhTY32vWxbLDrGR487Ld1HF37AvsrVlsQoz7KxDVmLW/s1600-h/P1010932.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352859621721600386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ8BcX93daKXTKPmBXwTup9sbz3-_xwYOkaFosaks3-T9jHrdVuZw8rARcTiD0GLIR3BwHWtqMDWv3iRvqOYHcmvHYIzRrvDCuqbhTY32vWxbLDrGR487Ld1HF37AvsrVlsQoz7KxDVmLW/s200/P1010932.JPG" border="0" /></a> Walt, Kevin, Bobby, Dan, and Linda all came for the long Memorial Day weekend.
