Hee Haw Farms

Lois and Steve and I took my kids to the local corn maze.

Rode around on the hayride collecting candy at the trick-or-treat stops along the way.

Andrew after the ride.  He loved the tractor.

Lost in the corn maze.

The stuff in the picture is dust and floating stuff from the hay and corn.  It was so thick it really set off some of our allergies but we survived.

Revolutionary War Ancestors

Captain Jonathan Drown

Sarah (Wheeler) Drown

This is cool.  Captain Jonothan Drown served in the Revolutionary War.  He's not my side of the family (mostly mine were British then) but Jared's side so this one is for my kids.  Capt. Drown would be ten generations back for them.  It's interesting to me to see that ten generations later we've lost most of what this man fought for and we're back to "revolutionary times".  Capt. Drown and his wife Sarah had ten children that I've been able to find so far.  Sarah's maiden was most likely Wheeler but I haven't found a Sarah Wheeler document to prove it.  Jonothan and Sarah Drown raised their children in Rehoboth, Bristol, Massachusetts.

This has been one of my favorite quotes for so long.
Delighted to find a picture that fit!
'Cuz, hey, I resemble that remark!

Owlet

Yup.
Funny.
