I grew up visiting my uncle and aunt on their dairy farm, and I know how much work is involved in running an operation like it. It was so interesting to see these pictures, and the nursery you so lovingly shared. Your daughter-in-law is beautiful, and looks so pretty pregnant. I am so happy for you all and wish you the very best. Actually, I liked all of your pictures and the love with which you shared them. Always a joy to visit here.<br /><br />Your home looks so good! The flowers are amazing!Just a little something from Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07436711032386582707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906989179238604361.post-53184080315767921742011-09-05T08:14:04.433-07:002011-09-05T08:14:04.433-07:00That was amazing!

I just loved it! <br /><br />I've never seen a nursery more fully equipped and ready for this precious litttle boy, and somehow I see the loving hands of his grandma all over it! :)<br /><br />xohttp://bitsandpieces-sonja.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/09254831447887637714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906989179238604361.post-15747601630871312792011-09-03T14:00:25.810-07:002011-09-03T14:00:25.810-07:00Oh...so nostalgic - I even remember some of why I ...Oh...so nostalgic - I even remember some of why I thought I wanted to be a dairy farmer! I know I would not have been able to cut the muster..but there is something exciting and even romantic about running your own farm, raising baby calves and inspecting your own milk supply! How many "hands" does it take to run that huge operation??? And, just had to ask - how did Mel meet Mike - California girl and mid-western farmer:) love it. Really enjoyed your smilebox, too:P)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02922994263280650480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906989179238604361.post-88203301079593103772011-09-03T10:48:29.001-07:002011-09-03T10:48:29.001-07:00How interesting, Debbie.

Even beans in a can came from a farmer somewhere at some point in time. May God bless your daughter and son-in-law, and the new little one on the way.Dayle ~ A Collection of Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727194212928446402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906989179238604361.post-80085788587104600302011-09-01T17:51:46.262-07:002011-09-01T17:51:46.262-07:00Hi sweet friend, I just love your Smileboxes...so ...Hi sweet friend, I just love your Smileboxes...so cute as well as a wonderful teaching tool. Loved seeing Mel & Mike's home and their spread. My hat is off to them, I know the sacrifice is high and the work long and not much "thank you's". My oldest and her family get their first calf in another week-they are raising it for meet and it will be hard for the five grands not to get attached over the year plus they'll have it. They also have a pasture of Alfalfa. <br />Have a wonderful Friday dear friend-I'm going in for that "fun" test and once I'm back home I should be good.<br />Love, NoreenNanaNor'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608980502430055753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906989179238604361.post-64831685522302237952011-09-01T09:50:36.287-07:002011-09-01T09:50:36.287-07:00I grew up on a farm and there's

I did grow up going to my grandfathers farm...but he raised horses.<br /><br />I will share this with my son when he gets home...and yes, take those grandsons what a wonderful experience.<br /><br />It is wonderful to see your daughter adjust to such a different life than how she grew up...what a confirmation of her love for her husband....and now that husband will have another generation to grow up at the farm.Janettessage.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262598732466380229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906989179238604361.post-835171413954680592011-09-01T04:57:22.544-07:002011-09-01T04:57:22.544-07:00Good Morning Debbie, so enjoyed this visit!

A farm is one, of if not the best place to have children grow up, they learn so much about life, and knowing about hard but fulfilling work.<br /><br />I agree "no place like home", enjoy time with those precious grandchildren this weekend, I bet they missed you just as much if not more. ~grin~.<br />Glad your trip was wonderful and safe.<br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843762646877115013noreply@blogger.com
