Two more days

I can't resist the way the sun hits this door and mirror every morning...
just at this time of year.

On Friday, Liz will be done with her internship and finished with college....except maybe they want her to fill in on Sunday (we hope not) and she has to do a presentation in the fall. It has been a long three months. Our corn planting is behind because the boss has to milk when she doesn't. If he is in the barn milking he is not in the field planting. (That and he broke the gang bolt on the disks yesterday, which doesn't exactly help.) She and I are eager to get some calf housing units built and to move some babies around, get things cleaned up and just generally take a hold and do better.

Anyhow, I sure can't wait. This will be the first fall in many, many moons that somebody has actually not had to go back to school. Every year we get a great routine going over the summer. We work well together and play a little and end up with a great sense of satisfaction at how life and work and family are going along. Then comes school, everybody leaves and it is down to me and the boss and whoever can fill in when they aren't in class.
The fun kind of goes out of everything then and it is all work and no play.
This year Beck and Alan will both be in college, but at least Liz will be staying home.
I think it will be nice.
Heck, I know it will be nice....now if we had them all home, oh, heck guess I shouldn't get greedy.
