HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO.....

US!

17 Wonderful years ago today.

Ron and Kristin Stock were married at Lindsay Holy Family Church in Lindsay Nebraska.

I am going in for some photos......OH lord...I have none. I so have to scan some in!!! Well anyway.....HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to us. WOW holy crap has time just sped by. We have had so many wonderful times together and so many things that I thank GOD I had Ron with me through.

Losing my Dad, losing Grandpa Stock, losing Grandpa Pfeifer...losing so much and so many people that we loved and cared about.

I try to only remember the good stuff...and there is ALOT more good stuff then bad. Being an Aunt and Uncle. Watching these beautiful children grow up in front of us. Being part of our friends and siblings weddings, anniversaries and birthdays.

Then there are auctions. Goin racin. Cheering for the Huskers. Playin pool. Goin bowlin. Hanging out with our friends.....life is good. AND NOTHING can replace all the wonderful memories we have had. We are so blessed and so lucky....

TO HAVE EACH OTHER!!!!

We were a perfect fit and always will be a perfect fit....we are Ron and Kristin.

I have...

What I call a Husker Harvest Days Hangover. Way too much time trapped like a rat at Husker Harvest Days. Man....Monday through Thursday at the same place. Not only did I not leave the Husker Harvest Days site, but I never left our lot. But I can honestly say it sure was nice to get the heck out of there!



I am so tired I can hardly move. I feel like I got hit by a truck! I have been completely out of it all day. It took me 15 minutes to find a Can of Chili for my Nacho's at the Grocery Store....then I spent 10 minutes looking for a pair of pants that were already in my bag.

Thus begins a weekend of recuperating.

Husker Harvest Days

Starts this week and it has been a long day of hard work and a little rain....and a hurt ankle. I fell into a hole in the tent and really really hurt my ankle. Really smart move Kristin......

You probably won't hear much from me this week, as I will be spending the whole week at Husker Harvest Days. Here are a few photos from setting up.

Well.......it over...

The race for the chase and CLINT BOWYER IS IN!!!!!! I love me some Clint.



Good god this was a long day. I have NEVER been through a longer race than this. There was nothing I wanted more than Clint making it in the chase and it is done.

I am soooooo happy for Clint. I am happy for the many Clint Bowyer fans who faithfully cheer for him every week. I am happy for RCR racing and the 07 team who work so hard to keep him racin. I am happy for Clint's family and friends who love and care about him.

These last 10 races are going to rock!

So I prayed. I cheered. I laughed. I hoped and I cried...and Clint made it. That was all I asked for!

How could....

...such a nice and fancy thing cause such a fracious?

OK here is the Story, which MANY of you have heard from me, but if you haven't, here it goes again.

Ron and I owned this wonderful Fifth Wheel Camper that Momma (that's me) so lovingly named Dutchie (again if you know me...this is nothing new..naming stuff). My love affair with Dutchie was deep and strong. So when we decided to sell Dutchie in 2007 after we bought our cabin, I was secretly hoping we didn't get it done.

Here is the beloved Dutchie:




So, following lots of ads and lots of people looking at Dutchie. She didn't sell. So as spring 2008 came. Ron said "Iam going to try and sell the camper again and if it doesn't sell by August, well keep it and take it to the NASCAR race in Kansas City and Husker Harvest Days". Great Life is good......again...I was secretly wishing for a No Sale to keep Dutchie in my life.

THEN ONE HORRID day.....Ron comes in the house and says "Honey I have something to show you" OK when Ron Stock says that followed by, "We are going to have alot of fun with this thing" I am always a little taken aback. So I walk outside to find this enormous Mobile Home sitting in our yard. Of course I am shocked and the first words out of my mouth were "Where the Hell is Dutchie"

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLll here is where it all went south. "I traded the camper in for this" WHAT!




Now some of you are probably sitting there with your Mouth hanging open thinking "What is wrong with this woman, look at this thing. BUT that is exactly the problem. I am trying to hard to uncomplicate and unclutter my life and then Ron drags home yet ONE MORE THING that I have to clean......

BUT for what it is worth....we will give Ron this much...I didn't want Dutchie either...or for that matter a cabin!

So why am I posting about this today?

Because I am currently taking everything that was in Dutchie and loading it in the Mobile Home for Husker Harvest Days. So far....everything in Dutchie fits in three Cabinets of the "new" one. Oops...did I saya that out loud...shhhhhh don't tell Ron.

Attention one and all...

Michael Phelps has hit Duncan Nebraska.



KIDDING! It's Larry Phelps....well Actually my brother Larry teaching my Nephew Seth to Dive off our Dock yesterday. But I must confess that Larry sure has excellent form. I always knew Larry was a good diver, but now I have proof.

The Judges from Duncan give Larry a 9.0!! Team Boschen advances to the Gold Medal Round...GOD I MISS THE OLYMPICS :)
