We have a had a busy few months, but things are finally slowing down. We had been preparing for the auction at the farm. That took alot of time and patience. Its hard to believe how much stuff my folks kept since they first met. Its been forty some years of accumulation. Mike did most of the work out in the woods, getting the old farm equipment pulled out. I did the house and the shop. It took about three months of preparation, up to the night before. The auction was April 21. Of course it rained and snowed, so it was a muddy mess. However, we had an excellent turn out. The auctioneer said that Mike and I did an excellent job boxing things up,labeling and organizing everything. Most of the time, families hire the auction company to go in and do all of that. We just didn't feel that was right. Let me tell ya, it was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. Not only physically but emotionally. Going through my dads personal belongings brought back alot of memories. But its over, everything sold.
Now I feel like Mike and I can really enjoy life again. So its time to play with Noah, get alittle fishing in and train Libby for some more tournaments. I am going to get better about taking pictures and keeping up with this blog. I'm not as original as some people, I need a little time to figure out how to use this site yet. Be patient with me! So here is a cluster of pictures since winter.
