HalloweenThanksgivingChristmas

Hello everyone! As you may guess from the title, this blog post covers ALOT of important territory. First, thank you to Dave, Melissa and family, and Mom and Dad, for hosting us for hunting and Halloween. As always, it was a GREAT time. Please note the grand prize champs in the photo. Yes, Mom and Dad were victorious again! There was some brief discussion about the voting being rigged. I can't say whether or not I support that theory, but it should be noted that Vince was in charge of that category! And, a brief shout out to my carving partner, Zach....we make a mean and scary pumpkin. (ps ...couldn't get photo to load)

Now, about Thanksgiving. The Wickhams will be hosting an early Thanksgiving for whoever chooses to make the long drive down here (or fly, Jill and David!). It will be on Saturday, Nov. 21. Now, my Thanksgiving menu may look more like Charlie Brown's than Mom's, but I'll try to do my best. I'm not sure when we'll eat that day.....depends on how many people come, and when they might arrive. Let us know. We'll make room for everyone, but you may want to BYOAM (bring your own air mattress)! (we have one double air mattress and one single one).

Now, about Christmas.....my favorite! It sounds like the concensus is that the party will be Saturday, Dec. 26. Mom is currently scheduled to work that day, so we are waiting to see if she can trade with someone for Friday, Christmas Day (which she is NOT scheduled to work at this time). She thought she'd be able to make the trade. So, that would mean we could travel there on Christmas Day, or that Saturday morning, and stay the weekend. Please take a look at your schedules and double check that Saturday, Dec. 26 will work. We will plan on it, unless someone throws a huge red flag up (and, of course, only if mom can get her work days switched around).

That's all I've got time for right now. I'll post another note soon with more Christmas details as we must get the drawing organized! Ho, ho, ho........

Have a great rest of the week, everyone!

Hi Bobbie, Kevin and Kade,
Figured I had better check in and see if you had any requests for me to bring with us on the 20th. Talked with Racheal yesterday and she said her dad and mom are still discussing that weekend- either they will come overnight and have Dave Kranig check critters, or the other option is maybe the kids will come with us. I think Jeannie is planning on coming last I heard.

Am hoping for a little early Christmas shopping. Don't have any great ideas yet. Rach sounded up for that.

Otherwise, life goes on as usual. The guys are ready to start on corn, the moisture is down to 16-19 which isn't too bad. They bought another bunch of calves- I think 71 head. Gotta have something to use all that corn up with, I guess.
Will talk again later. Hope you are having a good week-- It's really too darn nice to have to work!! Love, Mom

Hi Mom. Once I find out for sure how many people are coming, I'll know a little bit more about what I might want you to bring! I'll check in with you this weekend.

Hope they got some/all of the corn done before this front settles in!
