Photo Shoot

Well I had a great time going on a photo shoot with my daughter Ashley!  We ran around and found cool barns, beautiful fields, a dirt road, and a grain elevator.  She is working on her photographer skills and I was happy to help her and get some great pictures for my website.  We are going out again, but this time my wife, Danielle will be in them too.  She will make the pictures go from great to fantastic.     

Garden Harvest and Great Meals

The garden Danielle and I planted did great this year.  We have picked many crisp green beans, deep red tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, zucchini and yellow squash.  Two days ago we dug up a couple of potato hills full of fresh red potatoes.  Ashley (my daughter) used the potatoes in a wonderful beef stew.  My wife used the tomatoes and green peppers to make 10 pints of delicious salsa.  Now she’s working on zucchini relish which goes great on anything and just finished refrigerator pickles that are delicious with a melted cheese sandwich! 

The Warrior Dash

On July 31st my daughter, son-in-law, and I ran an extreme obstacle course called the "Warrior Dash."  It was a 5k that had many difficult obstacles.  In a 2 day period over 25,000 people ran the course and many were taken out by ambulance due to injury.  It was a great day as Jabez my son was there taking pictures and my wife Danielle encouraging us onward.  Now we are training for a half marathon in October.  That's a long way to run!   I guess I'll find out if I can do it.  Hope so!
