In April, Brent got all dressed up
and went to the banquet (IMS version of prom). He even let his friend bejewel
his tie to match her dress! Brent is a senior this year and is weighing colleges vs. farming. He keeps an active social calendar and it’s hard to find him ON the farm.
May 2013 saw Mo graduate from Hesston (KS) College with an Associates in Science degree.
August 2013, we deposited Mo at Iowa State University to study agronomy. Now Doug and Diane will finally learn how to farm!
Diane worked 6 months as an interim director for a Wellman preschool. Staff was a challenge, but the kids were adorable (well mostly) and my knees got daily hugs hello and goodbye!
Doug and Diane kept busy tending
pigs, cows and chickens.
Doug spied a tractor at Duwa's Auction just like the only one his Grandpa Stump ever owned. Doug had inherited his grandpa's tractor but it was later burned in a machine shed fire. I encouraged him to buy it, but he thought he didn't need it. So the kids and I arranged for our friend John Dale to buy it at the auction. Later, we had Doug's birthday lunch outside, and Brent came driving down the road on the tractor!

The year of reunions for Diane. In
July in Philadelphia with college friends Tim Johnson, Joy Lapp, and Carol Martin Johnson.
And in Archbold for 35th
high school reunion in late September, complete with paper cutout of principal
shaking our hands! Both were quite enjoyable..
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
