On our way out of town today, we stopped to see Great Grandma C!  We had a great chat with her!

When we arrived Aunt Arlene and Uncle Bob were visiting. We talked about the kids and grandkids and school and summer and the 'Busco school.  

When we told Grandma that Annah drove us here and was driving us home to Illinois, she told us how she never wanted to drive, but drove for 53 years because Grandpa needed her to.  She talked about having 13 people in a car one time! She told us about a time when Grandpa was driving a wagon full of corn and someone in front of them made a split second decision to turn and how Grandpa could've lost that whole wagon of corn all over the road!  She told us about a time when she and Grandpa had to get under some kind of farm equipment and lie in a bunch of mud to repair the thing.  She said, "That's what it is to be a farmer's wife!"

Arlene and Bob left, and soon after Uncle Butch showed up. Grandma talked about how much she liked staying at his house when he lived at Lemon Lake. She said she loved sleeping on the daybed on the porch, and she remembered 3 neighbor guys who were lots of fun. 

We had such a great visit with Grandma today, and I'm so thankful!!!

We stopped at Grandpa Lopshire's butcher shop to get some things Jeremy requested--burgers, brats, and lots of cheese.  It was great to talk with Grandpa and Uncle Eric too.

It was pretty hot out today, and Sylvia was a little too proud that she drank her whole water bottle before we got home.
