September goings-on

We know it's been awhile since our last update. September has been blessedly cool with some rain at times. Grass is good for September-cows and calves doing well-we weaned calves from the first-calf heifers and plan to do the mature cows soon as time permits. We are getting some cattle in the feedlot also. The milo and corn really needs warm weather to mature for harvest.(notice earlier I said that September has been blessedly cool). The feedlot pen remodeling project is going- Russell is doing about all of that while I do other things. We cut silage the 3rd of September so we have at least some of the fall harvest done.
I had a very good 6 month checkup with the urologist Tuesday. He scoped my bladder again and every thing was healed and no new growths. He didn't seem to think there was any need to continue followup scopings. ( it's not the most comfortable thing to have done-having a camera slid up you can guess where.)
Our church is ready to begin a building project to add a larger fellowship hall, classrooms and a montrously big kitchen. We have a large youth growth meeting once aweek and feed them a meal. All of us are looking forward to having more room and to be able to enlarge our mission to the youth.
Ann has been busy canning and some substituting and looking after me. We do enjoy life together.
