My Day-To-Day Photos

It's final.  We officially have 2 teenagers in the house.  That was fast.  Does life ever slow down? Happy birthday to my little Monkey.  Even though you are now taller than I am, you will always be my little Monkey.  I love you so much.

Amy is very suddenly on a family tree kick.  She discovered something quite interesting though.  My Grandmother Nettie Roebuck's parents were Peter and Ann Pacholko and they are buried at the Beaverdale Cemetery just north of Jedburgh. If that wasn't interesting enough, it turns out that Peter's parents immigrated with him and are also buried there. Theodore and Agatha Pacholko are there too!  So my Great Grandparents along with my Great Great Grandparents are buried very near by.  They would be Jared and Kaitlynn's Great Great Great Grandparents!!!

Yesterday we got the school supplies taken care of, so in case pulling out the combines wasn't enough, soon we'll be seeing the school buses in the yard again.  Oy, but summer went by fast.  If only winter could do the same thing. I spent some time on the combine with my Honey and saw how the straight-cutter worked.  It was fascinating for all of 2 minutes... sorry Honey.   Yes, that is a Cadillac out in the field. Grandpa was hauling grain. Kaitlynn is working a lot these last couple weeks of summer and is trying to make friends with Diesel the cat, so that she might rescue the poor skinny thing.  Now we suspect that she has kittens and that has complicated things a bit.   KK has also been working on her digital art a lot lately.  

Harvest has now officially started because I had dinner in the field with Todd. It turned into a 2 and a half hour affair when I had to drive him out to help Glen who is harvesting the peas and trying to operate the new straight-cut header.  It's not going very well for him.  Hopefully he catches on before he causes any major, expensive damage.  Slowly adding jars of pickles to the cold room. Going out to clean off the peas. The garden in the evening, just after sunset.

There is not one picture from Lloyd here. I barely touched my phone while visiting which I suppose is a good thing, but I wish I had snapped a few photos. These are in no particular order... Re-learning to knit. It's always exciting to see the boats! The Marina beach. Jared spent a lot of time on his scooter on our trip and is now paying for it with a sore foot! Ticket to Ride, Suzanne's favourite. Beantrees Ice cream at the beach. Zip-lining on the beach. Jared was the only brave one. Kaitlynn was chasing these guys all over the beach. The Wednesday Regatta Bibeau Park Huge woodpeckers! Early morning walk. Harvested some broccoli on the day we returned. And a pumpkin! I continue to work on my knitting.
