We attended a wedding in central Nebraska over the weekend. Part of our duties were to help watch this Grandchild during the reception. This is an older pic of her sleeping with her Dad.
She fell asleep in her little flower girl dress on the way from the Church to the reception. Just a four block journey. When Marilyn approached the sleeping child she said, "Ahhh, she's asleep already, she must be very tired." To which her Dad calmly replied, "Well of course she's tired, it takes a lot of energy to run her attitude."

I must appologize to regular readers of this blog. I've been really busy trying to keep corn watered and also with meetings and stuff to do relative to getting ready to leave the farm for a while. I will return with renewed vigor to this blog about the 27th. I will be gathering enough personal experiences to keep blogging for a while. I also hope to be able to give you a date for Blogstock '08. Don't give up on me.
Stay safe my friends.

I am so saving that attitude comment to swipe for personal use. I've got 2 teenagers at present, it'll come up.
Have a fun vacay!
Cliff,
We are getting our first significant rain of the summer; slow and steady. Have fun at the family reunion and the wedding. Say hello to the Morrows and Campbells for me.
Hope you have a good trip and come back all refreshed Cliff.
Have a great time on your trip Cliff, you and Marilyn deserve it! Hope all of those personal experiences add up to great blog entries!
Have a wonderful trip Cliff! Be safe and you and Ralph try your best to behave!!
What a great picture...and I love your son's comment...that's a beauty! :)
Drive carefully. Our preacher thinks it is a sin to drive over the speed limit, even one mph.
Shucks, I thought I was perfect.
Lois' (my sister's) granddaughter is getting married June 6 next year. I doubt that will be the date you pick, but it might be just my luck. We had one close to here, Jerry came. But still, our luck said we couldn't come.

Ditto Jerry. That's a classic observation about the energy/attitude ratio! Cute picture, too! :)
I'm on the edge of my seat! I'll be back in late July/early Aug!
Give up on you???
R U kidding????!!!!
Blog breaks are a necessary part of life because life gets too busy sometimes.
I'll be taking a break myself soon. I have a trip to CA, then another trip after that driving through Alabama and Tennessee.
Various breaks just give us more stuff to write about.
Keep your camera handy just in case Elvis stops by whilst your watering corn or chairing a meeting.
Terrific photo!! All little girls should have loving daddies. I have one; my daughter has one. We are blessed.
Awww Cliff will miss you though.
I can't wait to hear some more excitig stories from the farm.
Take care xx
I met my first blog buddies this week, and now I'm on a roll!
I'm meeting two more in CA next week, and I'm trying to meet up with Rachel the following week!!!!
I'm just getting my feet wet before Blogstock '08!!
Cliff, thanks for the update.
I imagine the reunion and DOR/SILOR wedding will bring lots of great stories.
What a precious picture and wonderful comment. It definately would apply to my son.
Can't wait to hear more about your exciting adventures, after the corn is watered, of course!
The attitude comment is priceless. I guess that's why children can sometimes fall asleep so quickly.
I hope you had fun.

Hi Here via Peter's blog
Thats a great picture and I have to agree with everyone, the attitude comment is a gem
Have a nice weekend
Yes the attitude comment is a gem... one of MANY from you! Hope you get some rain to help you out... Tampa has been getting it everyday and we have been dry here across the bay... until today... finally some rain!
Looking forward to hearing more about Blogstock 08 when things settle down for you... do they ever settle down for farmers in Nebraska?
priceless attitude quote!
you'll have an unforgettable time w/ Ralph & fam @ the wedding.
Hoping the Blogstock time will be when Gem is not tied up away on business. "Anticipation"....lalala
Well Cliff, have you checked the Guiness book lately?
You may be nearing a world record for wedding attendances.
For sure you are getting to be an expert on them.

Cliff ~ I have missed you around the blogosphere. My guess is... that the "CORN IS AS HIGH AS AN ELEPHANT'S EYE" and you are in it over your head? ~ jb///
Oh what a sweet picture! Your son sounds like he is a chip off the old block. A natural comedian like his Dad.
Hope all is well with you and yours.
