A busy mind in many places. One of my children was asked what I did for a living. The list given includes my main occupation of farming but also goes on to school bus driver, carpentry, furniture making, developer, designer, landscaping, handyman and more. I've traveled in most states of the union (I'm missing two) and several foreign countries. My favorite vacation is a trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. I like to read. Favorite authors include western author Louis L'Amour, science fiction writer Anne McCaffrey and architect Sarah Susanka. I like to sing and am a bass in our local barbershop chorus. In church I also prefer the bass part. My best friend and wife, Karen, and I have 3 children who are all busy and happily building their own lives. We have twin granddaughters born in September 2011 and another granddaughter born in April 2014.

It was a busy weekend. Events conspired to have all of our children and grand children here for the weekend. With a new grand-daughter we also made it a time to invite relatives to come visit. Actually the 2 little girls did the most to fill the house up. They rode the playground ponies,they learned how to hold kittens, and that they have sharp claws,they pushed and were pushed on the swings, they just did all kinds of things that little girls do, including wear out everyone around them with their energy. When they were gone it was so quiet.
