Hi everybody for some of what we have been doing. May 29 we went to Aunt Dorothy's 90th birthday party in Sharon Springs. June 1 Lois had eyes checked and needed new lenses. Picked up flowers at various cemetaries.
June 3, Lois weed eated and Earl mowed lawn and we packed up to go to New Mexico. Left at 7 A. M. Friday and got to Corrales about 3 pm. Visited and ate supper at the Wayne Scully's home, where the Fischer reunion was. Went up to Rio Rancho to Karen & Ronneys to stay all night (about 20 miles). Visited and had a good time and ate breakfast. It was very nice of them to let us stay there over night! Went back to Scully's in mid-morning and had a catered meal at noon. There were about 35 people there. It was so hot that the planned outside get together was moved in the house for the noon meal. We enjoyed the meal and visiting and much picture taking and homemade ice-cream. We left about 3 pm to go to Rylee's dance recital in which she did very good. We all ate supper together at a restaurant in Corrales and then went with Larry and Galena to their home. We enjoyed seeing all the updates to their home. Very nice.
Sunday we got to drive the old Model T truck that Larry restored to original condition and he did a professional job. Earl really enjoyed getting to drive it.
Monday they took us a guided tour for lots of mountain scenery. And Earl took us all to lunch at Abuqui Restaurant, by a lake of the same name. We ended our drive by seeing where Galena taught before coming to Cuba. Very enjoyable drive.
We left to come home the next morning and let Samantha (GPS) lead us through a scenic route by the Chama area which turned out viewing lots of nice scenery and got home about 6 pm.
Lois got a permanent Wednesday morning, which was why we had to be home by that day. Ann called that evening to let us know she got home from Poland and we appreciated her letting us know.
Thursday Earl got to run the tractor on a bit of summerfallow and he sure liked that. 100 degree weather on Thursday and Friday and then it got cloudy and cool on Saturday for Lane's swim meet at Leoti and everybody got cold, cold, cold.
Love to Everybody, Earl and Lois

Back Again!!!!
Hello everybody, after a stretch of silence. Our weather yesterday was extremely hot like 96 or 97. Today was much better like in the low 80's. The forecast is some more hot days. The wheat is not ready for heat blasts like that yet.
We are planning to leave here early Friday morning and hope to arrive at Corrales, New Mexico, (which is a suburb of Albuquerque) by mid-afternoon for the start of a Fischer family reunion at the Wayne Scully home. (A cousin of Lois through marriage) They expect 35 or 40 people there. Hope it materializes. We plan to go to Karen and Ronneys at their Rio Rancho home for the night. Sure nice of them to let us stay there. Then back to the Scullys for a big noon meal and serious visiting. Then we want to go to Rylee's Ballerina performance in the evening, and after that go to Larry and Galena's home for the night and a couple of days visit and come home on Tuesday.
Sounds like big plans for Lois and Earl but we hope to make it fine.
Love to all of you from Earl and Lois

Another Catch-up Blog
Hi everybody and good evening to all. We were glad to see your blog, Larry and here about some of your plans for the summer and about your weather. Our weather here has been reasonably good except some days of terrible wind. We did get .80 of rain here in Leoti and some parts of the county didn't get much. I think it was a fair rain at the farm as they had .40 in a night rain and then some more the next afternoon but I don't know exactly how much.
We saw a lot of the Wiles family at Marjorie Harmons fumeral. We went to Emporia and Joann and Dick took us to Winfield to the funeral. It was good to see all of Larry's daughters and families. The great-grandkids are sure growing up to be big boys and girls. Ann and Jennifer also made it to the funeral, which was good.
Lois and I went to an auction sale this afternoon and she let me buy a couple of things I didn't need. One was a 2 ft. by 2 1/2 ft. scenery picture of a sod house with a typical old time yard around it with the regulation outhouse and windmill and woodchopping place with the ax showing. We don't know how it was made but the sod house stands out like the sod has been added to the picture that is framed in barnwood. Also we got a pheasant hunting bear that is about 2 feet tall with 2 rooster pheasants that he has bagged and he has on a hunting vest with a cartridge holder that is holding 3 spent shotgun shells and his gun tied to his shoulder and a cap on his head.
We are both doing reasonably well as Lois has to watch carefully what she eats to keep allergies from showing up. Earl has to keep things interesting by having a big lump show up, and the doctors say it is a hernia that is an emergency waiting to happen, so he has an appointment to have surgery to correct it Wednesday morning April 21 and we are hoping it will turn out ok. It is suppose to be a 1 day out patient surgery, but we'll see how that goes. Your prayers would be appreciated. It doesn't hurt as of now, but we'll see how much hurt the surgery causes.
We are waiting patiently (maybe impatiently) for Kim to have her baby boy, Nathanial.
Larry, the pickup I have now with the 5.4 engine has a 6 speed transmission and runs at extremely low RPM, like 1800 at 70 and maybe 1500 at 60 which probably means it doesn't have any torque. The transmission is suppose to be computer controlled for the engine to be at it's best working speed and gas mileage. Driving around town gets terrible gas mileage, but highway mileage can be 18, 19 or 20 some of the time. I have never pulled a fertilized tank or trailer, but suppose that could be terrible gas mileage.

New Transportation to us
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.
