Church was good. Lesson was on Habakkuk 2

Got up and went and picked more corn. Then I prepared it to put it in the freezer. Then I picked most of the peaches off the trees. This time I am picking elberta peaches. They are not as sweet as the Georgia peaches that I picked last month. 

This evening I went to the coffeyville bull riding event. 24 guys tried to ride with only 6 making it 8 seconds. Then those had a ride off and only one of them rode 8 seconds in the second round. 

But it was fun.

Picked some sweet corn thus morning and then prepared it for the freezer. Then sonny judy and I went to the county to make sure that a real estate transfer had been recorded. Well it had not so we had to contact the attorney again to get it done properly. This is fromd when dad died in 1989 but the attorney had submitted some incorrect paperwork in 2006. So anyway we are trying to get it all straight

Then I went to the coffeyville state fair and rodeo. Spend some time with my cousin who is on the fair board. Then I went to the motorcross event. I had never been to a motorcross event. It was fun. The guys flew 35 feet high and it was 75 feet from the takeoff ramp to the landing ramp. The picture below is of a guy standing on his bike using only his feet to hold the handle bars. I think the key is to not try this at home

Church was good today. We studied about Peter. What does it mean when the bible says the last shall be first and the first shall be last????

I watch the final round of the PGA championship except for about 3holes where I fell asleep

Tonight was the vbs program. A lot of work went into the planning and execution of the program. Thanks to all that helped and attended. We never know when a seed is sown or a plant is watered. Thank you God for allowing us to participate.

It was a beautiful day. 

Decided to go to an auction. Bought some fence posts. Then I came home and decided to try to mow.  The grass was tall. I did get most of the year mowed there was some standing water in low places. But at least I got it knocked down. I will have to mow again next week 

Remember Sunday is coming

Today was the last day of vacation bible school. I was "knighted" as a knight in the kings army for the kingdom of God.   We had two young people that accepted Jesus Christ as personal savior today. Thank you God

After vbs I rested and then went to town to get birthday presents. 

I got invited to a birthday party for herb bath. It was good to spend the evening with the days and their grandfather as he celebrated. Yes we had cake and home made ice cream

Was at vacation bible school when I got a call from my brother. He said he had some cows out and that he was in Kansas city.he wanted to know if I would take care of the cows. Hum

So after vbs I headed to the farm to check on the cows. You have to remember that it has been raining a lot. So I got on the 4 wheeler. To go to the pasture. Well I drove. Through lots of water but decided that I didn't want to cross the creek. With all the rain the creek was running higher than I had seen it in a long time. So I parked the 4 wheeler on the east side of the creek. Then I hunted for a narrow place to cross. Hum.  No luck. But with a well placed jump (used to do long jump in high school) I made it most of the way over the creek. Now I am only a little wet. So I trudge through the woods and swampy field. I find the cow that was supposed to be out on my brothers property with the other cows. But I continue on to the neighbors pasture to make sure that other cows are not out. Didn't find any there. Try to fix a couple areas in the fence that needed repair. 

Then I made it back to the creek. The water is still running fast and in fact is higher than when I crossed it earlier. So practicing my best long jump start I leaped almost over the creek. Didn't get too wet  after you are wet you can't get much,more wet can you. Any way I made it back to the house and all the cows are in the pasture that are supposed to be in.  So it was a good day

Yes I enjoyed helping my brother. He has done so much for me over the years that a little moisture won't hurt me. 

Today is my friend virginia hays birthday. I think she is 39 but I may be wrong. Happy birthday virginia
