The Princess and her Daddy and Grandpa

Four Generations is now down to three.

This was Ron's first Father's Day without a Father. It was difficult for him. But the sting was definitely taken out by spending the weekend with his son and family. It was the first time in many many years that Ron had his son with him for this holiday. Thank you so much Michael and Kim for making a special effort to spend this time with your Dad.

Grandma Katy and Megan

There is a very special bond between Megan and her Great Grandma Katy.

Michael "enjoying" Father's Day

Michael, Kim, Megan and Matthew spent Father's Day weekend with us in the exciting City of Rantoul Il!! As you can see the excitment of the quaint little village got the best of Michael.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Is that a smoke stack I see???????????? HEHE

Tornado

Ron and I drove right toward this tornado today, but have no fear, we drove right through it and that litle Chevy just kept on going. Didn't even shake the car at all. I was surprised I sure thought a tornado would be a lot worse than that.

Fixer upper

Say kids, Ron and I just love this area and have purchased this little fixer upper and we would like to know when you are all available to assist. It comes with a black cat and a donkey, but it was such a steal we just couldn't resist. The roof sags a little and the doors and windows went bye bye, but it has such character. For those of you that LOVE yard work, you can see that you will have a great time. We need it done before winter - bring tools.

Shiloh

These are a few pictures of the Military Park and Museum at Shiloh. It was very interesting. I wasn't that interested in the Civil War, but I am amazed by the numbers that were killed in two days at this battle. To stand where General U S Grant fought was sort of cool.

On the way we saw a farmer that was selling fresh cabbage. It was unbelievable the difference in taste. Then we found a lady selling strawberries that were just picked. That was a nice treat also. Ron just got back from fishing and he caught two, but didn't bring them home for dinner. He is suppose to go fishing with the ranger tomorrow.

Ron and All His Friends

This is Ron watching a movie at the National Military Museum of the Battle at Shiloh during the Civil War. You can see how excited he was!!
