This year our county has celebrated it's 100th anniversary with various activities. This October they sponsored a family potato harvest day. A farmer planted potatoes in a small field and donated the field to families who wanted to come harvest potatoes and see how potatoes were harvested in the past. Our daughter Kim and her husband Rigg were visiting that weekend and we had Chaylee and Lillee, two of our other granddaughters for the weekend as usual. We baby sat Kim and Rigg's two girls, Peyton and Paisley and our four granddaughters had a sleepover Friday night then we harvested potatoes in the morning. Kim and Rigg joined us. We watched while they harvested with a modern day harvester, and two horse drawn harvesters. One of the horsewoman's associations loaned matched teams of beautiful horses for the harvest. They had hay rides and carriage rides also. It was fun to see all the families. And exciting to watch the potatoes come up out of the ground. Then we grabbed all we wanted and put them in burlap sacks. We took home about one hundred and fifty pounds of potatoes for our family. And they are the best I've ever eaten. YUM, YUM!

On Saturday, October 26th we went to a Halloween Party at Hemming Village in town. We barely made it because I was finishing up Halloween costumes.
Belle and Cinderella. Aren't they beautiful!
