As time passes, I realize how precious it is to create memories.
Jeff and I were blessed to celebrate 20 years of marriage this past Wednesday. I can’t believe how fast time has gone. It seems like yesterday that we eloped to Dead Wood, South Dakota. It is just beautiful there! We said our “I do’s” and had a wonderful time taking in the scenery and many places to visit.
In honor of 20 years of marriage, we really didn’t plan anything special. We had recently purchased a boat and had only had it out once. To us, buying a boat was a thrill and quite a treat! Jeff took the day off of work, we loaded up the boat and went to Summit Lake fishing.
Some women maybe wouldn’t like the idea of fishing on their anniversary, but I loved it. I grew up fishing and so did Jeff. I also knew how much the boat means to Jeff. Seeing how happy the boat makes him brings joy to me as well.
We had a glorious day! The weather was perfect and the fish were biting! We caught catfish and blue gill. One of the catfish Jeff caught was six pounds! It was the catch of the day!
When we were done fishing, I drove the boat around the lake a few times. I had never driven a boat, but it isn’t difficult. We cruised around, taking in nature and all its’ beauty before calling it a day.
I can’t wait to go boating and fishing again!
Another precious memory is in the books.
Life is good!

In a week, the midway at the Burt County Fairgrounds will be full of people attending the many events and visiting the vendors in the expo hall and about the grounds. On the hill, all the animals will be in the buildings, ready to be judged, with their owners dutifully attending to them. The 4-H crew will have their items they have worked on all year in the 4-H building for all to see. The rides will be going and the Methodist Kitchen and 4-H kitchens will be buzzing with people from all over stopping in for fine food and visiting with others. It is what I consider a huge family reunion time, during the fair! Have a great time at the Burt County Fair all! Both photos credit of Denise Gilliland/Editor and Chief, Kat Country Hub.

As we count down the days to the fair, we can start checking off pre-fair activities and contests. One of these is the 4-H Favorite Foods Contest.
It was held Monday, July 25 at the Vet’s Building in Oakland. Twelve participants set beautiful tables and created excellent menus with delicious foods ranging from fruit smoothies to jambalaya and lemon dessert to lasagna.
Results are as follows:
Clover Kid (ages 5-7):
Logan Gramke, Oakland made Birthday Party Pizzas while Karsen Olsen of Lyons made chocolate marshmallow pops. They both received Clover Kid ribbons.
Junior Division (ages 8 & 9):
Ashlynne Gramke of Oakland earned Champion honors with her fruit smoothie and Eli Schlichting of Oakland received a blue ribbon and the pork award with his pepperoni pizza.

Paul Roscoe of Lyons was named Champion in a tough group of intermediate division competition with his cowboy stew. Reserve Champion went to Camryn Brehmer of Lyons with a wonderfully refreshing lemon ice cream dessert. The pork award and another purple ribbon went to Caleb Schlichting of Lyons for his delicious lasagna.
Blue ribbons were received by Andrew Schlichting of Lyons for his Hot Pockets and to Sydney Olsen for her beef tacos.
