I'm still here, just haven't been motivated to post for a long time

Memorial Day in Dorrance, Mick, Brooklyn and Anna

Anna rode her decorated bike in the parade. She (and others) also wore face tattoos for the occasion.


Jo, Sam and Kelly. Sam was decked out in his St Louis Cardinal red for the day.

Debbie (nice pink shoes), Brooklyn and Susan. Brooklyn had the best seat in the parade.

The Thielen crew - Sam, Hallie, Anna, Garrett and Brooklyn

Harvey, Nancy and Jane. It was Harvey and Jane's first time to walk in the Dorrance Memorial Day Parade.

Matt - American flag, Joey - American Legion flag and Brad Zorn with the gun to protect the flags

Anna, Hallie and Sam during the ceremony

The next photos were taken on June 7 in the harvest field.  This is the earliest harvest many can ever remember. Brooklyn found a grassy spot near the wheat field.

Hallie Jo

Lori and daughter Brooklyn had a good time.


The line up - Brad, Joey and Mick. Would you trust any of them to harvest your wheat? I didn't think so.

Susan served Kelly's homemade strawberry pie out of the back seat of the Expedition.  Principal Smith (also the grain cart driver) was first in line.

You can't eat strawberry pie without whipped cream. Even in the wheat field, the meals are good enough to be on the food channel.

Matt and his daughters Hallie and Brooklyn ate their strawberry pie on a picnic blanket.

Do it Hallie! Dump that cup of water on your dad.

Joey, the truck driver

Joey and Rita at the elevator.

Kelly contemplating if she can eat the whole pizza or just half.

Matt and Brooklyn having a father daughter moment about the finer points of eating a harvest meal.

I am not sure what this conversation was about, but Garrett, Anna and Hallie seemed to be cooking up some trouble.
