Beautiful Catholic Wedding

November 17, 2019 / Monica Jacobson / 0 Comments

Well…I’m officially ancient. The cousin, whose diaper I used to change was married yesterday in Beach, ND, the reception was in Medora, ND. It’s always nice when a wedding is like a family reunion.

The musicians sang & played beautifully!

Kaila & I. Our growing families seems to run parallel…the children have been born within months of each other!

Caterer extraordinaire! 450ish guests to feed…no problem!

The boys enjoy spending time with their girl cousins. At home, due to a lack of sisters, they don’t get to experience a whole ton of feminine genius.

Last Batch🍅

Processing the last batch of tomatoes today. We were impressed how many ripened just fine in the cellar.

Blessed to ring in another year of life with excellent food, fun adventures, & perfect company to accompany me today!

Andrew made tasty Asian food & Medora brought yummy punch!

Herd Watching & A Home Improvement

November 8, 2019 / Monica Jacobson / 1 Comment

We are enjoying watching our calves, that were weaned last weekend, explore the cornfield and the oats field. Andrew said, it’s like living by a big fish bowl, watching the calves is fun. They definitely have their routines and different calves like to hang with certain calves.

Last night at sunset. They are heading for water.

Ambrose picked out the hooks at Lowe’s yesterday!

*We will appreciate this handy home improvement, this weather encourages alot of layers.*

Pretty Snowflakes?❄️

November 5, 2019 / Monica Jacobson / 0 Comments

A friend sent me the link of Patti Page’s song “Pretty Snowflakes” in October. We’re a little more prepared for winter, but would still appreciate more Autumn weather to complete what needs to be done. I did, however, play the song again today. 🌨️

Ambrose made this in Storytime yesterday… it’s still Fall!

Hauled Hay, Weaned Calves, & Combined Herds

November 2, 2019 / Monica Jacobson / 0 Comments

A Very busy, but good day with nice weather to boot!

Watching DuckTales & keeping an eye on the herd.

Lunch time before loading up the last load.

Gathering the small herd to combine all the cattle.

I gave Simon a rag weed to help him guard a gate, one of the truckers gave him a real whip, he wrote a thank you tonight to the kind trucker… I guess my ragweed idea wasn’t impressive.

Getting ready to turn the cows in to the pasture.

Out our dining room window at supper time. Deer season opens next week…so I’ve been told… I wonder if the deer will feel comfortable in the open then?

Happy All Saints Feastday!✝️

November 1, 2019 / Monica Jacobson / 0 Comments

November! What a glorious month!!! It starts out celebrating our Heavenly Friends & Reminds Us To Pray For Those Who have gone before us. If you are not familiar with the St. Gertrude Prayer, I highly recommend it, especially if you have a loved one who has passed to Eternal Life. I look forward to attending Mass tonight!

In honor of All Saints Day we went about our home and gathered our Saint & Jesus statues all in to one place!

Appreciating the “attitude of gratitude” that is encouraged during November!

Enjoying the social aspect of trick or treating!

We were able to watch the Little Bluestems perform at the local nursing
home on October 30th, before we attended Faith Formation.

Wishing you all a wonderful beginning to your November! May it be a fruitful month for you & may it provide you an opportunity to grow closer to God!🛐

Round 1 of Weaning & Cold Cattle Move

October 26, 2019 / Monica Jacobson / 0 Comments

It says it’s 37° but that cold blustery wind sure made the cattle drive a long one! All’s well that ends well!

Making the turn for their new Fall pasture.

Mr. Bulldozer politely waited for us to finish.

Another round of saucing tomatoes. Our friend, Tracy was able to eat supper with us after the cattle drive.

Practicing for Adam & Lateasha’s wedding.

It’s neat to have our own little “concert!”

Hay Hauling, Cattle Moving, & Well Read Mom

October 25, 2019 / Monica Jacobson / 1 Comment

We’ve been meeting ourselves coming and going, I suppose it should be expected during an Autumn like this one. Crunch time while the weather permits!

Windtower crew is working 24/7 to finish before winter…two windtowers overlook Haymarsh.

Grandma Mary’s sister and some of her family came for a visit the night of Well Read Mom book group.

Mom & Ricki (Great Aunt Neva’s granddaughter)

Most well attended Well Read Mom group yet!

Learning how to dunk a basketball with the high schoolers.

It was warm today, 64 F at one point when I looked, so we made the most of it and stayed outside until dark.

Made a visit to the Good Shepherd statue, the weather was beautiful tonight.

12 Years

October 20, 2019 / Monica Jacobson / 0 Comments

12 years ago today I began an incredible journey with a best friend, I pray as the marriage blessing goes, we are blessed to know our “Children’s Children.” God willing even our Children’s, Children, Children! An interesting sidenote…my Godparents Ted & Ella were also married on October 20th. As well as my Confirmation Sponsor and her husband, Anna & Jay! I said a prayer today for All of You who encouraged, supported, and Blessed us on our Wedding Day! So Many good folks to thank! Some have passed on to the Other Side of this Life, Others are Still Here Encouraging Us To Sainthood.
