Happy Sunday!

A 3rd Mass in 4 days at St. Clements.  Makes my heart sing to hear the church bells ring over Haymarsh Valley so frequently!

Helping Dad with his hobby. Making pickles!
Dill from the garden.
We went on a Sunday excursion and found tasty Chinese food in Zap, ND. We were reminiscing that we probably haven’t been to Zap since 2007!

Thank you Father Anthony!

St Clement’s had another Mass this week! My aunt’s son, Father Anthony Saiki, celebrated Mass tonight!

Mostly local Gietzen relatives attended…some local parishioners were able to attend Mass too!
Blessed to have a priest in the family!
Happy to have the porch for extra space! 27 folks ate supper at our house.

I really enjoy the garden “bouquet.”

Bell pepper.
Eggplant.
Cantaloupe.
Green tomatoes.

Peppers.
3 gallons of green beans, if anyone needs green beans feel free to come and pick some… I think there’s at least twice that amount out there still.

“The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.”
– Elisabeth Foley

Fun to have company!
We enjoyed seeing this Fargo Friend & her growing family! Thanks for allowing us to show you Haymarsh, Rachel! Photo courtesy of Simon.
On the farming side of life… Grandpa made a timely purchase of a baler. The bearing went out on our old one… Andrew hooked up Grandpa’s newer (1999 Gehl) baler. It’s good to have a backup when one is trying to make hay while the sun shines!

Rodeo Time!
