Thanksgiving

What are you thankful for? Did you get asked that question yearly as a child in Sunday School or Grade school? As adults we often take many things for granted as we learn from experience that probably all things will turn out well. God's Grace, Mercy and Love are things that come to my mind that we take for granted until reminded of them. We know that eternity with Him is available only through His Son. Personal things I am thankful for are our family of course( there you go-you are taken for granted). God in His wisdom brought Ann and I together and we will celebrate our 40th in August. What Goodness! Our parents led us in the correct paths as children and I thank them for that. Our daughters and families are a great blessing and source of enjoyment. How we are thankful to have them nearby. Dad is getting to celebrate his 85th year this year and I am thankful for his wisdom and leadership over the years. God gave me an occupation where I can be outside and witness His Glory in the beatuiful sunrises and sunsets and the greatness of His creation. I need to run and get to our church for the Thanksgiving dinner there. One year ago God laid it on my heart that we as a congregation should do this for those who might otherwise eat this special dinner alone and I am especially thankful for Ann and the others making this happen. Thank You God for all you have done for us!!!Bob

Hey-Harvest is finished!! Not a great harvest but we do give thanks for what God has given. I got the combine home about 4 PM and am glad to be done. If there are any volunteers to clean the combine and headers, we would be glad to have visitors. That's a job I always dread.
Next item is to get the cow herd ready for winter. I actually have'nt been to the ranch for 12 days and plan to go tomorrow. We need to preg check, vaccinate and de worm the cows and we will bring some here for about 60 days to graze corn stalks and other crop residues.
Ann is busy making bears and subbing until Christmas break other than grandma time with the Hutch bunch next week. Forecast is for lite snow this week-I guess it's time but snow is not my favorite thing.
The wind farm towers 6 south is beginning to go up and it's interesting to watch the huge crane lift the pieces up. We can actually see the crane from here and the towers as they rise. There will be 33 chargers and the towers will be something like 300' tall and the blade will clear the ground by 115'. The south horizion is changing. Bob
