Taters and Other Bits of Info

We're still under "drought conditions" here, and that makes us all the more thankful that our potatoes have done so well. We planted 100 pounds of potatoes this year (50 lbs of red taters and 50 lbs of white taters) We planted the red ones earliest so they're already ready to dig up. Just after digging 1 3/4 rows (loooong rows) we filled 6 five-gallon buckets!! Yippee! Lord willing, it looks like we're gonna have enough to get us through the winter! Last year we only got 6 buckets out of our entire potato patch! Just look! Isn't that a pretty sight?Concerning other bits of info, Amy will be here Monday!! Woohoo! We're all looking forward to that. She'll be here for almost an entire month! Then, on Thursday, youngen #2 will be flying back to the nest from the Dominican Republic! It's going to be an exciting week! I can hardly wait to see both of them! It's seemed rather "empty" around here with just two kids! :O) We haven't heard from Jacob since he's been gone, but then again we weren't expecting to because he had no way of calling home. I'm excited to hear all about his trip. We'll be keeping everybody posted!
