Randy and family left Monday afternoon and them my brother Steve came Monday night. So we had Steve, Audrey (his wife), Mason (their son), Julie ( Audreys sister) and Lindsey (Julie daughter). On Tuesday we went to House On The Rock and took in a cheese place on the way. I wanted to take them by Rodney and Carol Gasser but we ran out of time. We wanted to get back in time for gospel meeting.

We stopped in Arena at
a cheese place.
Joseph liked the mouse
out in front.

Not the best pictures but we could see the process of
making cheese. The owner came out and talked to us.
It was very interesting how it all is done.

Yes.............. we bought some cheese curds. They were

were fresh.... like a couple hours and boy were they
squeaky. I've never had them that squeaky.

We went to the House On The Rock. Very interesting and
a lot of walking.

In front of the worlds largest carousel. Steve, Audrey, Julie, Lindsey and Mason

Joseph like the planes, cars, trains and well........
he liked a lot of it.

Joseph is tired out and sleeping through all the noise.

Next morning before Steve and family took off.

Last week............

Another yard sale buy. I haven't got to use it yet but Dan
tried it out. Joseph really enjoyed it.

While Randy and Debbie were here we went down to see

Lake Michigan.

Randy, Debbie, Cuyler and Corina

Up at Randy's sometime back.........

Grandma Millie took Joseph out for a bit in the yard

Dan put some siding on his deer stand and it looks nice.

Joseph going to check out stream

Inching a bit closer than what Mama said

Time at the park and outside.........

I think we are going to be spending a lot of time outside. Glad we have

a park in Genesee Depot. (probably 2 miles from the house)

This time Joseph is really climbing more. He climbed some before but
now its like he isn't afraid and will try anything. I'm still a little unsure!

He takes good naps after a work out at the park. Yeah!! But I can't
complain. He has always done well with naps and going to bed. Now

that he is in a big bed he does like to crawl out a couple time. Not that

he doesn't want to go to bed but because he knows he can climb out.

While he was riding on the motorcycle he told me he was a

Harley Man. (oh great)

He can reach the pedals now and is doing a great job.

I think this was gift last year from D & K............ he enjoys

picking up what he can and then dumping it. The truck fits

in great around here.

Last week..........

Thursday we went to yard sales. I'm looking for a child's seat for

riding on our bicycle or on of those trailer like things. Any way
no luck this time but at the first yard sale I found this tractor and

wagon for $5.00. I couldn't pass it up. Needless to say Joseph
was trilled with my buy.

While we were outside Joseph was picking some of the

dandelions. I told him to hold them up a say these are for

Aunt Debbie.

They separated the cows last week. Moms from last years

calves. So we've been hear alot of moooooing from both sides

of the farms. Seems when they see some one they really start

in. Guess they think will get them back with their little ones

who are not so little any more. They should soon be having

their new ones. Last year they had 6 or 7 and they all were

males. It looks like only one is going to be a bull. Yes, this is

a city girl talking. I got educated by Ruth Eoff on a few things

about cows and steers. (smile)

Joseph was up close when one of the cows decided to moo in a

desperate way. Next thing I knew he was standing behind me

looking around at the cow.

Happy Mother's Day...........

Hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day. Dan did steak and shrimp on the grill. He did a wonderful job and it was delicious. I figured it would be cheaper to eat at home than go out but have buying the groceries I'm not so sure. Any way it was a nice dinner, then a nap and then to gospel meeting.

What?????

You mean it has been over a month since I posted anything here???? I can hardly believe it. I wish I wouldn't do that. Then when I do post it means there will be a lot of postings.

I still have pictures from when we were up in Rapids in April that I haven't posted.

Also I missed some birthdays.................... sorry!!!
