GOINGS ON WITH DAD

Dad went to church this morning and enjoyed the after-service treats! He was headed to Mavis and Ron's for dinner, but had enjoyed the church lunch so much that we wasn't very hungry. He says the beet harvest is going well, but they have not yet dug the field by his house. The weather forecast is for cold and snowy weather, that could presumably interfere with the harvest.

Luke says one of the oil drilling companies has staked a location for a well up in the pasture, but Dad is not sure if it is on his land or on government land. (We'll have to check on that soon!)

Some of the beet harvest workers are living in the old house next to Dad's. Vicki Dunbar, who cleans his house, gave it a good cleaning recently. It has been vacant a lot of the time in recent years, so he is glad to have someone using it--as long as they don't mess it up!

He says his pickup is running fine, and gets him to Cartwright and to Mavis and Ron's. If he goes any farther, Mavis goes with him. He obviously enjoys having the ability to get by himself, even if for only a few miles!
