We got a picture posted of the pickup on the blog and then it wouldn't let us write on the same blog so we are posting another blog. We gained 4 years and got down to 15,000 miles. Many people seem to think that the pearl white color is a pretty color, but maybe they just tell us that to make us feel good. To Earl it looks like cream white or off white. To Lois it looks like Pearl White. It has hands free cell phone talking which isn't new to most of you. It would help if we could figure out how to make it work. Ha Ha. It also has a camera picture showing what is behind you when you back up.
We are both feeling OK. The weather is sure cold and windy, however the wind wasn't as bad as it was forecasted to be and we didn't get any snow flurries that were forecasted, and we're thankful for all that.
We had a nice quiet Valentines day. Lois made some heart shaped cookies which we both enjoyed. We also had a red salad in a heart shaped bowl, with red jello with cherry pie filling and cool whip. Paige invited us over for a delicous cheesecake for her birthday in the evening, even though her birthday isn't until Tuesday when she plays basketball that evening at Satanta. She is doing very good at her basketball playing for a freshman.
Love from Dad and Lois

One of Earl's computer Goof-ups.
The blog I published this morning showed O.K. and the next time I looked it was gone and again when I looked later it was there but it still shows 4 weeks ago that it was published and shoulds show 3 or 4 hours ago. Whatever I did wrong would be simple to you whizz's but is a mystery to me. I'll see if this shows up any different.

Fast year already
January just flew by without telling me to hurry up and wait. Hey, Carrie, yes married couples are supposed to share and hope Drew's cold has gone away. Lois had a cold and shared it with me and she was kind of over it so I shared it back to her but we are both kind of O.K. now.
We had about five inches of snow here Friday and got by without any wind and it was a fluffy snow but was sure happy to get by without wind. The north side of our county didn't get as much and the next county north did not get any.
We are busy struggling with paperwork of forms and reports to fill out in triplicate of everything we did in 2009 and some things we didn't do. I can do lots of griping because I really hate paperwork and forms.
Keep us posted of your activities and our Love to all of you.
Dad, Grandpa and Lois.

Christmas 2009
Hi, everybody for a 2009 ending with lots of cold weather and snow flurries staying with us. We left Leoti about 9:15 Thursday the 24th to go to Amarillo to Debbie Jo's house for a Stephenson family Christmas with all of Dave and Charlotte's kids there and April and Josh with their twins and baby Abby for her first Christmas. A great day of fun and togetherness and Dave and Charlotte took us out to show us their country home and their work to make it their retirement place.
We came back to our home Saturday and Larry and Galena arrived about 4 p.m. Dick and Joann got here about 9 p.m. as they had to wait until about 4 p.m. for a county snow plow to open the road so they could get to highway 50. Gwen and family hosted us at their house for a Wiles family gift exchange and evening meal with Ann and Jerry and Jennifer and their family and Larry and Galena and Dick and Joann. Thanks to Gwen and Jason and Paige and Lane for having us at their house. Sunday morning Earl & Lois, Dick & Joann, and Larry and Galena went to Ann's church with her. Sunday afternoon Jason took Earl, Larry, and Dick to Lane County ranch to check cows and put out four bales of feed. Monday morning Larry and Joann and Dick and Earl went to the FSA office and signed farm program papers. Who knows what the fine print said! After lunch we went to the Farm Bureau office for crop insurance sign-up. Then we all went to Ann's at the farm for the afternoon.
Dick put up a new shower head and helped Lois with the computer and worked on a bedroom door in the basement and Larry put up a new indoor-outdoor temperature reader. Thank you, guys. We appreciate all the fixings.
All of our company left Tuesday and got to their homes safely. Larry and Galena had a foot of snow at their place and Dick and Joann got to their home o.k.
Larry and Galena had Christmas with the three girls and their families at Sandy's at Inlow. Hey, Dana I noticed in some of your Facebook entries you used the word sheesh. I thought I was the only one that used that word so maybe you inherited it from this Grandpa. Ha! Ha!
Hope this rambling on Blog doesn't bore somebody to the brink.
We wish everyone a happy New Year and a safe 2010 and our Love to All.

I guess some of you maybe think we just disappeared as it has been awhile since we bothered you"all with our blog but we are still around.
Lois had eyebrow lifting surgery the last of June and it has turned out very good as you can see all of her eyes flashing when I do something wrong. Do some of you guys know what I mean?
We had our Wiles Rainbow Lake gathering the first of the last week of July with a fish fry to prove what we were doing there. We really missed having Larry and Galena with us due to his detached retina surgery.
Lois and I felt greatly honored to be co-Grand Marshall with another couple at the Wichita County fair parade and getting to ride in a horse drawn chariot.
Dave and Charlotte Stephenson brought the great-granddaughter Sprock twins up to see us and go to the carnival rides.
Next on our agenda was Lois's Larson family reunion at Sharon Springs. All of Lois's brothers and sisters were there except one brother and one sister which were not able. There were about 75 people in all and a real fun time. Earl and Lois led the Sunday morning church service. (agh)
Earl had eyelid surgery Aug. 10 and did have coon eyes for awhile. Had the stitches out Aug. 20 and the black and blue went away.
The price of wheat, corn and milo has gone way down and the cost of production is still high, and I guess that is part of the fun of being farmers.
We had a nice 25th anniversary time and spent part of it in Emporia with Dick and Joann and Dick's mother Ardell visiting and going to church with them, and eating out Sunday evening. Earl took Lois to Garden City to the Golden Corral, that she likes so much, and the tempting buffet makes it easy to eat too much, on the day of our anniversary for noon.
September is here and fall farm work is here with a bang. Bob asked Earl to work some summer-fallow, while he was busy spraying and packing ensilage and the hired man was working on feedlot fence. Earl really appreciated getting to run his tractor.
We sure enjoy hearing from each and everyone of you on your blogs.

Time to report again.
Time to crash the blog again to let all know my ankle is doing good and am walking good with the boot cast on and it is'nt that uncomfortable to wear except maybe a little warm on the 100 degree days.
A big hurrah that I got to run the tractor a couple of days working summer-fallow and run the grain cart tractor Saturday afternoon for awhile. Feels great to get to help again.
Wheat harvest is going good so far and hope to get a good week in without any rain and definitely no hail this coming week.
I will take Lois to Fry Eye Associates in the morning to get her sagging eyebrows lifted surgically. I guess that means I don't do anything to get her to raise her eyebrows at me. Ho, Ho. We expect it to turn out good. For those that don't know it is at Garden City.
