FOR THE LOVE OF POTATOES

Potatoes, potatoes everywhere!!
Randy, Grandpa and Grandma (and Toots) took the annual trip to Idaho to get some delicious Idaho Potatoes. I used to laugh at them and the love of potatoes, but we have joined the club. Randy is now the ring leader. The craziest part is they got 5,000 lbs. Yes that is correct. Five thousand pounds of potatoes. To be exact it was 4,905 lbs. I know it sounds insane, but they are taken now.

Thanks Dad and Randy!!

These too.

They got them bagged before I could get a pictureThere is Bev in the background wheelin and dealin.
She feels like she is back on the farm.

'GOOD OLE BOY'

How many of you know a real, good old country guy?

I DO. His name is Donnie Kimball. IT'S HIS BIRTHDAY

TODAY!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DONNIE. (You're turning 28 right?) Pawpaw Donnie is the coolest, funniest, craziest guy in the world and he is MY father-in law. Over the past 14 years I have been collecting "Donnie Phrases". These are words that have actually come out of his mouth. They are not phrases that he has to think about saying first--they just flow out.
