We will miss this place!

Well it is time to post about our big move!

For those of you who don't know John has a job change and we will be going to Denver, Co. It is an exciting time for us but a very emotional time also. We live in the house of our dreams and love the people here and everything about our little town of Preston, Idhao! Our families all love it here and we have made some GREAT memories in the short seven years we have lived here! We have worked really hard to get our home and yard to the stage it is in. When we came here there was NO YARD and the basement was UNFINISHED!  I look out at this beautiful place and can't help but be just a little bit proud of our hard work! Our kids have helped so much with different projects and made this your home too. THANK YOU SO MUCH! We have had lots of fun being together and we will miss this wonderful place we all call home!

We hope each of you will remember the great times and forgive us for moving away! I PROMISE our new home in Colorado will become home to each of you also! You have all moved so far away and we don't get to see you enough!  Hopefully this move will allow us to come see you!  We love the memories we have made here and we will miss it dearly! Thank goodness the grasshoppers are REALLY bad right now and I WON"T miss them! (they make me want to move). The deer are eating my garden and I was stung by a wasp! The yard is really full of weeds and it is really dry! Sound like reason enough to move? NOT!

How times flies!

It is amazing to me how summer seems to fly by! It seems like just the other day I was planting the garden and anxiously awaiting the tiny plants to pop out of the ground! Wow! What a difference a few weeks makes! This first picture was taken June 16th and the last one was just a few weeks ago! Now I am fighting the deer just to keep the garden! We have been eating corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, peas, beans, onions, beets, swiss chard, and raspberries! We decided to add more garden this year, I guess to feed the deer! I will miss this beautiful place! Sorry I have the same picture of the garden in this post also! I don't know how to delete one!

Beets Beautiful Beets!

Grandma and I decided we would can some beets for us to enjoy! So on sat. morning bright and early we went to work! It was so fun to have her come and work with me. We have always been such great friends. I will forever love her! John and I decided to extend our garden this year and plant MORE! What were we thinking! I guess we do feed the deer also! They have been eating the tomatoes and have eaten almost all of the peppers! So much for my Salsa garden! Tay chases them away on some nights, other nights he just lets them have what they want! Stinkin deer! Thanks mom for the help!
