Pumpkin Update

Abigail and "The Pumpkin"

Here are some updated photos of our pumpkin. These were taken about two weeks ago. We have a "plan" for the weighing so send your best guess! I'm still trying to come up with a prize. :-)

Smiles & Tears

My mother, Marian Barker, slipped peacefully from this world on September 20, 2012. Right now I'm having a hard time imagining my life without her so the tears flow pretty easily. However, the many joyful memories are definitely too numerous to count -- a little like the sands of the sea. I'm deeply grateful for the privilege of being her daughter. I love you Mom!

Contest - Guess the Weight!

Although we've had some good sized pumpkin crops in the past, this year certainly beats out any others. In fact, I think this year's pumpkin deserves a contest! From now until October 20th, you may guess the final weight. I've included pictures from two angles to help you with your guess. I'll add the guesses to this post as they come in. (Ken is estimating the current weight at approximately 250 pounds but no scale was used to come up with that number.)

 

 

NOTE: We actually have no idea how to weigh this pumpkin when the time comes. Any suggestions? :-)

GOOD LUCK!

Predictions:

Karen:   291 pounds

Kimberly:   300 pounds

Justin:   227 pounds

Dana:   212 pounds

Linda:   388 pounds 

Kevin:   175 pounds 

Alicia:   400 pounds 

Sheryl:   350 pounds 

Keith:   195 pounds 

Turley:   319 pounds

 

Home Again . . . Gone Again!

Salt Lake Airport Terminal

After flights only 10 minutes apart, Kevin and Tammy met in the airport terminal and came down the escalator together!

It's been wonderful having them home but our time with them was too short! Both are off to college and the next phase of their lives! Don't they look thrilled? :-)
