Remembering time with Bob

This column from 1990 reminds me of times Bob and I struggled to find time together.

It took years, but eventually, Bob and I had all kinds of time together. We even took a couple of vacations.

I’m missing those special times with him today, but at least I have the memories.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Take a message, please

Phone messages can be important. Too bad this one Bob took in February 1990 was almost lost because of his bad handwriting.

I hope you enjoy this retelling of an old column.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

A 49-hour escape

This 1987 column retells a weekend when Bob and I ran away from home. Children remained at home while we went to the UP, a rare escape.

I can’t remember another vacation Bob and I took without our children. This was it!

Sometimes we did escape from the kids, but that usually meant we were driving machinery around the farm. Those hours were not vacations, but farm work.

Such was life on Sunnybook Farm.

Marking the date

I’m not going to dwell on missing Bob but I couldn’t let the date pass without saying something.

I remember Bob every day.

Now onto the rest of life … without the best husband ever.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

A beautiful harvest day

Many things can go wrong during harvest time, but then there are days when everything is beautiful and bountiful.

This 1987 column talks about a lovely day when soybeans flowed from the field.

I love remembering days when work was thrilling for both Bob and me.

It was always good being useful.

Until next time, that’s it from Sunnybook Farm.
