Little Brother Comes to Town

     This past week I had the privilege of having my younger brother Daniel come for a visit. We had a lot of fun together, enjoying everything from bottle feeding a calf and truck shopping to hunting ground hogs! Daniel was also here to see the Passion play at my church, in which I had a small part.

     Daniel jumped right in on a load of farm work last week. We even gave Daniel & Sheri's yard a Barth Brothers Landscape Maintenance mow and trim job -- just like we used to do back home. Friday evening Daniel and I got out my 12 gauge and shot clay pigeons. It was a first for him but as with any challenge Daniel caught on right away.
 
     The days went by too fast for both of us. The time for Daniel to fly back home came too quickly and it was a little hard to say goodbye.  I am thankful for the memorable time we had working and playing together and look forward to more visits in the future.

      Daniel, thanks for coming to see me.

No ground hogs, but we still had fun!
