Cousins and Corn Picking





We spent Sunday in Dalhart to put up sweet corn. Sunday morning, the guys all went out to the farms and picked the corn. The rest of us all took jobs including shucking, cooking, cutting, and bagging. Every one was there to help, even all of the cousins. My dad said that he learned all of what we were doing from his mom! That made me happy to be carrying on such a generational tradition, and to have a piece of my grandma in the tradition. Even Eleri "shucked" and Jove entertained us while we cut and bagged. It was a really good family time. All of the cousins were there together and even went to visit Big Nana (Terry's mom) in the nursing home. Here are several pictures from the day. Jove and Eleri "played" together too. Jove is 3 1/2 months old and Eleri is 6 months.
