Well, harvest has come to a stop with the rain... about three inches this past week. Rob has been able to get about 2/3 of the beans harvested... corn is still waiting. He will probably switch to corn now since who knows when it will dry up enough for the bean head to run smooth. Oh well... can't change mother nature... and he's busy shipping pigs.

Mizzou football has kind of "slowed" as well, but this week will surely be better results. We traveled to Columbia for the Oklahoma State game... we had a great day... thanks Dave Brown for asking us to go... wish the outcome would have been different, but it was a beautiful day for football (probably should have been home combining, but can't work all the time)!

Last weekend, as more rain fell on Friday morning, we made the quick decision to go to Iberia Missouri for the Circle A cattle sale, rather than watching on the internet. We left after I got off work on Friday, drove to Osage Beach for the night then got up Saturday morning and went on out to the farm... they have beautiful facilities. Rob has bought bulls from them for a couple of years but I hadn't ever been to the farm... we were able to get nine heifers bought, so that will give us some added entertainment come late January. Again, it was a beautiful day, and since we couldn't have been home combining, made it even better to be away... got home just at kickoff on Saturday night... all I can say is Texas is good! Sunday, Rob was able to get back to the field and got a couple of good days in before more rain.

Last night we went with friends to St. Joe for the Ron White Concert... laughed until our ribs hurt! Yesterday was teacher in-service and then parent conferences until late, so today is a day off... three day weekends, I love them! School just doesn't seem to get any less busy! This is our district state review year, so attended a meeting on Monday to learn what extra we need to do for that... always something!

Still have a little yard work to get done, maybe this next week will accomplish that. Rob's buddy seat in the combine is just as lonely this year as ever... certainly a time that we miss Spencer even more (if that's possible)... I just don't take the place, but I try!

Until later... we'll hope and pray that good weather comes our way so that we can finish harvest safe and sound! Buddy, we still see a few butterflies, but know with the upcoming forecast, not many more will be flying our way... keep sending us signals, we see and feel everyone, we certainly know you are with us everywhere we go!

GO MIZZOU!
