New family member, from Marilyn
On Sept. 8th, Becky Sue Kvande and her boyfriend, Ken, had a baby girl named "Millie" (Mildred, after her grandmother Kvande). She weighed 7 lb, 4 oz, and is a really cute little thing. She has lots of dark hair with a curl on top. Just a sweetie!! Susan and Harv plan to come this weekend to see the new grandaughter and for Susan's Birthday.
Not much other news here. We have just been working on the rentals and keeping ourselves busy.
Love, Marilyn
ON THE RANCH
The grain harvest is over and the corn cutting is in full swing, with good yields all around, according to Mavis. However, grain prices are low, so the grain bins are full. There was lots of rain in July, which means the pastures are good, and the Sudan Grass (for hay) is bountiful.
Dad is doing fine, although he gained quite a bit of weight because of congestive heart failure. He is on water pills, and is losing the weight, but needs to be monitored closely. He gets weighed nearly every day. He sleeps a lot in his big chair and at Mavis'.
He said he was going to live to be 100! And, he said, that is not very far away!
Marilyn and Julie came over to help process the sweet corn, in the midst of which Mavis had to go to Brett's football game in Fairview. He is doing very well! The team quarterback is Monte Cayco, Sharon and Andy's grandson, who is also a really good player.
Preparations are underway for beet harvest, starting October 1.
Amber and Abbie were keeping Mavis entertained.
LILA
Lila was back in the hospital for a few days, after a serious bloody nose. She lost so much blood she needed a transfusion. She now has to wear an oxygen mask, and must eat liquid food. She was able to return to the Baptist Home and was well enough to go out to lunch last week. She has lost a bunch of weight.
