Well, a Couple Things Have Happened Recently

Don't freak out. We raided this building before we burnt it this time...
Just kidding:) The actual story is that we are planning on building a new workshop for my dad this summer where two of our 'older' buildings are. This is one of them burning. We're still cleaning out the other. It was fun watching dad pick up the building with the pay loader and starting it on fire.
Also, school is out, and since that wonderful day (last Wednesday), I've been so busy that I haven't been able to even notice any summer. Sydney has been over since Tuesday and she constantly needs attention. I haven't been able to sleep in past 8 because dad supposedly need 'help' loading cattle around the world... or at least 1/2 and hour away. I worked for 5 hours today and I'm expecting more tommorow. Then tommorrow after helping dad, I have Grandma H's piano recital which I haven't practiced with the people I'm playing duets with much (if you'd like to see the recital, it's on Saturday at about 6 at Royal Meadows... I think), Then, Sunday I'm helping dad again for about 6 hours. Then next week is VBS. I plan on either running or biking there and back (2 miles) each day to stay in shape for the 5 kilometer run I'm doing in the Summer Celebration thing in Sioux Center which I think is next week or the one after that. Summer, I thought it was going to be fun and easy... oooooh the irony:(

Wow if that garage could talk what stories it could tell about all those Hooyer brothers. Dan said when he was little that was the only shed on his Gpa's farm. He remembers his gpa parked his Plymouth in it and stored screws, and nuts and bolts in baby food jars. And where uncle Curt tipped the air compressor over on Dan's toe, it's never been the same. Course, I've heard even more stories about the "Shedapel" (Shed up hill). Ask your dad about that.

i will:) Me and my friend tried to clean up that building a couple years ago, and we found ALOT of things like those nuts and bolts in baby food jars, a piece of wood with Gregg's name in it, and some carvings in the building. There was a LOT of stuff and we kept some of it before we burnt it. Now we're gonna burn another building sometime this summer and maybe when I post about that you (or Dan through you) can tell stories about that one. Maybe you can post about all Dan's memories (the ones he can remember)[question, if you don't remember something, but it happened when you were there, is it still a memory?]
