It was one of our first dates and a group of us all went to whitewater raft the New River. We even went under that big bridge! We made it through all the tough spots then Steve and I both went out on what they call a "bunny spot." Too funny! Beautiful pics and thanks for the fun memories! <br /><br />Still working on harvest. Beans have been done for a while, and I am so glad to say we should be out of our downed corn by the end of the morning, That will put me back in the combine this afternoon I think! Never a dull moment around here! <br /><br />Hugs!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06003384586082557583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-1819730126793424332011-10-25T00:46:58.388-05:002011-10-25T00:46:58.388-05:00Oh, Betsy, this place looks AMAZING!
