Ron and I made our first trip to the apple orchard last weekend. The trees along the roads are loaded this year. It must have been the abundance of rain we had this summer. We bought a bag of Paula Reds and State Fair apples. Now it's time to get busy and make a pie. Congratulations to Jim and Shawn on quite an adventure. I think you deserve some kind of award. Wow! Truly amazing...one to share with your Grandchildren some day. I think I'll share it with mine. I printed off your story and read it three times. Super job, Rathbun team. Tonight we went to a hobo dinner at Harvey's farm. He runs the skidder where Ron cuts wood. He's an old coot, but very friendly. He's lived here all his life. Tomorrow is the famous Potato Festival. I saw a pontiac red potato tonight that was three times as big as any potato I've ever seen. The farmers around here are darn proud of their crop of spuds; as well they should be! Later.
Love, Sue

The hobo dinner sounds fun! I would have loved to see that huge potato!
I always want to look for greasy pippins and spry at this time of the year - Gramma Traxler's secret ingredients for apple pie!
