Christmas Greetings

We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!

Twas the night before Christmas at 'The Land of Kem'

And all the stockings were hung by the chimney with care in all the grandchildren's hopes that Saint Nicholas would soon be there . .

Sweet Megs

Meg's has a habit of lookin' in at us from the picture window while perched on the wicker settee. I wish they could all live inside with us to share hugs and cuddles. Heaven knows we have enough love in this house to go around!

If the crown fits, wear it!

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue don't you know my heart is true

On the other side of the lense is our eldest child Tami. Tami captured this shot of 'my gal' and me on a late Saturday afternoon this fall. I think we'll title it 'The blondes'! What da ya think??

Six AM and Milkin'

What a beautiful site to see . . . the mornin' moon over the very busy barn at 'The Land of Kem'. Let's hear it for the girls!

In The Driver's Seat

Matthew Jeffrey, the youngest of the grandchildren. Yep, he's dreamin' of his first pull. Not all that far off . . . right Puller?

WAIT! Did somebody say Corn?

Matthew is givin' it the 'taste test' and the verdict is Yummy!

Another Happy Happy Girl at 'The Land of Kem'

Yep, all the girls here at 'The Land of Kem' are happy ladies.

Pilot and Co-Pilot doin' the Preflight Inspection

It was 'The Puller's birthday and time for a suprise . . . 'The Puller's Queen of the Land of Kem' and Harry (she's wants him as a son) arranged a day and a time for a sky's peek of 'The land of Kem' and a little bitty lunch at Sal's - great day! Thank you Harry

First Harvest

'The Puller' says "Honey, the corn's ready, wanna 'put some up'? 'The Puller', Brent, Colin, Anna Sophia, Laurie and of course 'The Puller's Queen of The Land of Kem' with Megs supervisin' 'did up' 80 some quart bags on this sunny Sunday afternoon at 'The Land of Kem'. It'll be on the table Thanksgiving afternoon - Yum

Lost and definately found

Was on my way for a hair 'do' by Laurie at the salon one rainy Friday afternoon and 'poof' our new sweet little black lab mix appeared right before my blue eyes in the middle of the road. At first she got passed by, but one glimpse in the rear view mirror melted my heart - Meg's was doing circles in the rain. We advertised her in the lost and found section of two local newspapers, but no one called. 'Drop Offs' are common in the country so we weren't surprised. Actually we were relieved that no on claimed her - she stole our hearts. We laughed for hours watching her 'fly' around the house and the barn yard. She's a very special little girl and a welcomed addition here at 'The Land of Kem'.

1st Place at Bunker Hill

FIRST Place . . . Way to go Brian! You're makin' 'The Puller' a proud man. Yep

Perusing the Land of Kem

'The Puller' was out in his field on his tractor when he first caught a very surprised glimpse of this big old black bear. Our guess is he weighs in at 400 pounds (the boy is eatin' our corn). This shot was captured by Carolyn our daughter-in-law at about 50 feet - that's up close and personal. Got wind that our neighbors 'caught' him on video. We'll give you a peek - stay tuned!

Morning Waning Gibbous

Morning moon over 'The Land of Kem'

It was time for a little fun with the grand girls . . . pedies were the game. We left the farm, headed to the salon and the red came off and blue, the color of choice for the girls, was painted on. Of course we needed some flowers

GOT MILK?

Yep Black and White is what you'll see in the Kemland Farms barn. Well, except for Andrea, the Brown Swiss, who belongs to little Sara! This is Clayton, the eldest grandson, posin' for Susie's camera. Can you all guess who 'the shadow' is??

Morning . . .

Morning is a favorite time of the day - the earlier the better. Corn and flowers showin' off their 'stuff' for everyone driving up the drive at 'The Land of Kem'.

Pit Crew Princess

'The Puller' says "we're leavin' at 7 can you be ready?".

She's Up First and "The Puller" is ready!

Red Hot and She's Smokin'!!!

Words of wisdom for little Anna Sophia from 'The Puller' . . . "Now honey a girls place is NOT just in the kitchen."

The Puller and his Wife

This is how our tale began . . .

Once upon a time on a warm midsummer's day around the time of noon while leisurely strolling in the county of Lawrence, 'The Red Toenail Princess' who was known for her love of the color red unexpectedly, but providentially, met the gaze of 'The Puller' who throughout the land of Kem in the county of Lawrence was known for his devotion and passion for red tractors. Some would say that destiny ruled or that the stars had their way, but what 'The Red Toenail Princess' and 'The Puller' knew was that it was their love for red that joined and sealed their fate. 'The Red Toenail Princess' moved far from her land of Castle of New to the Land of Kem in the county of Lawrence where she is known now as 'The Puller's Queen of the Land of Kem'. Along the side of her husband as 'The Puller's Queen of the Land of Kem' she works diligently to promote the majesty and the power of the color red and the 'Red Forever ' Tractors.
