Took her to work again today. This is getting to be almost a fun trip. Mom is still terrified of riding with her, so she drives. Torie can't learn that way, so I got to take her to work again this morning. It's about a 15 minute trip, and at 7:40 she still wasn't ready to go. I thought I was going to have to drive anyway. But she was finally ready, and I let her have the keys. She did pretty well going down the road, and has improved much in the past few weeks. And then it happened. The dreaded 'S' curve.

I told her to try and park between the lines the right way. Into the parking spot she goes. Car goes into 'park'. Door opens, head goes out, and she's between the lines. Success!. She's as proud of herself as she can be. 1st try! It would still have been better if she was straight, but she was running out of time to argue with her--

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
