BEET HARVEST IS OVER!
Ron and Mavis said today that they had finished the beet harvest last evening, and were having the annual celebration dinner tomorrow night! The yield was good, but they have not done the final calculations on tons per acre. They were delayed by four days of wet weather, and lost two afternoons because it was too warm, and are much relieved to have the 16-hour days in the fields over without any major problems!
DAD
Dad drove his pickup to their house today for the first time in three weeks--now that the beet trucks are off the road. I asked him if he was enjoying the reading of our draft memoirs, and he said he was. Mavis said that he had almost worn the pages out from reading it over and over! Marilyn and Issy took him to Bismarck for a checkup last week, and he got a good report. However, he has more and more trouble remembering to take his medication. Vicki Dunbar is now going to his house every Friday morning to clean and help him out. He will surely appreciate that!
Linda and Jenny came for a visit last week, going to Sidney with Dad and Mavis for lunch. Jenny is planning her big wedding!
TRAVEL PLANS
We are getting ready to hit the road again as of November 5th, after moving out of our condo on October 31, and spending a few days in Scottsdale. We'll go east through New Mexico and Texas, with plans to spend time at several National Seashore campgrounds and state parks along the Gulf Coast, going south in Florida for the colder months. Our main on-the-road project will be final editing of our memoirs to get them ready for publication. We will visit some of Marie's family in Georgia and South Carolina along the way, and will come back north in the spring via Ohio and Iowa to see Dione, Saul, Mollie, Derek and Sherill.
Fortunately, my eye surgery turned out very well! It is quite amazing to be able to see better than I have in years--with 20/20 vision in my left eye. I can even read again for hours at a time! We have both had medical checkups in the last few weeks and are told we are in very good health, and fit to travel. Good news!
