Labor Day Parade

Nothing brings a family together like a parade and I say this because for the last eight years the Brink family has been like my second or third family. Kris is the big Sister I never had she has let me have it when I have needed it and left a card or home cooked meal in my apartment when my world was upside down and if don't think we haven't had our share of disagrements then you haven't been around the farm much. But like most familys we get through it. Why?? Because there is work to do.

So anyway, I  brush hogged Aunt Rose's (Terry Sister) pasture Sat and then Sunday I  did barn work and had Dan and Mike over for a hay putting up party that consitsted of 450 bales along with help from Kris, while Terry worked on cleaning his truck and trailer up for the Labor Day Parade from Zeeland to Holland.

O, I forgot Terry and Kris made us load up two minature donekys to show off to the kids after the parade was over.

And Teagan, Terry's Grand Daughter was the official horn blower,

What was neat was watching how much Terry loves his truck and trailer, the animales, his family and how much he loves the life he lives when it comes to those things. And yea he told me how to stack the hay Sunday so I wouldn't need to get the hay elevator out and it worked great.

Terry has fully recoverd from being sick and rumor has it he is leaving tomorrow with the truck and trailer to haul some horses. So role on eighteen whealer horse cadilac, keep them horses moving.
