Painting Pair

If you could choose how to earn a few extra bucks in the summer before heading off to Purdue (Go BOILERS!) and Tufts (Go JUMBOS ?), would it be slopping black acrylic paint (and tar) on a half mile of fencing? These two yeahoos spent the summer doing just that and besides looking FABULOUS, they even had a few laughs. (Ask Andrew about the permanent hand prints.) Thanks for a job well done. We will miss having these two hanging around, but we are sure they will be successful in the tracts of life they choose!

"ANDREW THE HAPPY PAINTER"

Meet The Potier Sisters!

We have been blessed to have a visitor living with us for a month. Mathilde comes from the Brittany Coast. She and her sister, who is in the area for a return visit, got to inspect the corn and soy beans up close! Duncan, the horse, felt obligated to slobber all over them just to make them really feel like part of the family!

Below is the winner of this year's Grand Prix at Trader's Point. As usual, we had the "Kent corner", the first row cheap seats great for photo ops! This is VDL Oranto ridden by Chris Kappler.

23 Years of Wedded Bliss and Happy National Holiday Kevie!

That's right - it's official...he has now been married for HALF of his life! Yes it is the better half :)

What is the story behind the cake with polk-a-dots, you ask? Well - he really is 46 going on 5. Did you notice the fancy first birthday cake his niece Evelyn enjoyed in a previous blog? Also recently, his 15 year old nephew sported really cool (for a 15 yr old) polk-a-dot shorts. Envious of both, Kevin made sure we all knew that he wanted both for HIS birthday! We are still waiting on the shorts to arrive - but the cake was fancy - SUCCESS! YES!
Meet Mathilde our guest from France! We have enjoyed getting to know her and having her as part of family. Today with cousin Anna visiting from Chicago, we all enjoyed the Trader's Point Grand Prix. It was a balmy 92 degrees, extremely humid, but the light breeze saved the day!
