what I did this summer

Well it seems the summer consisted mainly of rain, but looking back at the old journal, Scott did a few interesting things this summer of 2007.
In May I BBQ'ed chicken for my sister Megan's high school graduation. It was a hot day, but it was good to see little sister cross the stage. Plus there was karaoke, which was fun. My bro and I sang "The Weight" and Callie sang "Obla-Di O Bla Da."
June was our annual trip to the Frio River at Leakey, Tx. We rented a different house this year that was great. Right on the river. We rented kayaks and tubes and soaked it in. Great trip.
The weekend we got back, Trina and I hosted a group from Minnesota for a hayride and steak cookout here at the ranch.
June also was when we got into the square bale hay business. We brought in 1350 nice coastal Bermudagrass bales, and ended up selling most of them out of the barn.
Then the rains came. The Watterson round bale operation pretty much ground to a halt. I got a P.A. system for our team sortings.
In July yours truly was recruited to play in a jazz quartet for a wedding. That was a first. I'm NOT Buddy Rich. We also had the biggest turnout for the Watterson 4th of July picnic, in the pouring rain of course.
The remainder of the summer was hauling hay when we could, working on broken tractors, selling a few calves and watching it rain.
We hosted our first co-ed rodeo in Smithville in August.
Labor Day weekend we had the TETRA group here for a ride, and we cooked catfish for 50.
Now Callie has started 4th grade. Where did it go?
