September 5th - The summer she is gone!  We started school last week and the kids are really enjoying it!  Zion is a bit of a chore while school is on but everyone pitches in and does their share.  My friend George came out for the weekend and we went to Medora and camped overnight and went to the musical.  It was a really good show!  Even Zion was excited to watch and he stayed awake for over half the show (it is 2 hours long and started at 8:30 (9:30 our time).  The badlands are beautiful and we all enjoyed ourselves.

September 11th - On Thursday cousin Haldor had an accident while discing a field.  He was between the disc and the tractor and the clutch engaged (it was a John Deere with a hand clutch and the clutch failed internally and engaged) and he was drug for about 100 feet.  He was there for 2 hours before his sister Karen went to check on him.  She came down to call 911 and John went up to the field and using a car jack lifted the disc off him and had him free by the time the ambulance got there.  He is doing as well as can be expected - severely broken right leg - damage to right hand - internal injuries  .  We went down and brought his kids up for the weekend and they stayed with us.  Other than that nothing too exciting is happening!  The weather is turning colder at night.  We did get a different travel trailer and van and will post a picture soon.  1974 22' Coachmen travel trailer with 78 Ford E150 extended van.  Some rust but not a bad van!

September 19th - Haldor is at home now for recuperation.  The boys and I helped Grandpa Ross put up about 1/2 mile of fence posts.  Will be stringing barb wire next!  Starlits violin group played before the Symphony performance on Friday evening and that was really nice!  Hollis & Jasper started guitar lessons (the Suzuki way) on Monday evening.  We went to a recital that their teacher gave yesterday and she is an awesome guitar player!  They are learning classical guitar and the parents (in this case me!) sit in on the classes so I will also be learning some classical guitar!  Will keep you posted on the progress. 

September 25th - this past weekend was the 25th annual Washburn Art Show and Vanessa entered 3 photos and won 1st & 2nd place!  We have had cold weather (and I have had a cold) and been getting ready for winter.  The boys are enjoying guitar lessons and so am I.
