Gramp's Auction

Before I post the pictures from Gramp's auction last weekend, just a quick update on school:
Wednesday I had my dentistry lab in which we practiced repairing gums that have been damaged due to some kind of trauma and also practiced a technique used to stabilize jaws that have been fractured.  I have to say, I would definitely get more out of the labs if it wasn't right after 5 hours of lecture!
Thursday was my last day of palpation lab.  It was my group's turn to palpate mares, and it was a good day!  I finally was able to confidently feel the mare's uterine horn up to her ovary, something that had never happened before.  I was pretty excited (yes I know that makes me sound really nerdy but that's mostly because I am)!  I also passed a speculum into the mare's vagina so you could see the cervix and perform a vaginal exam and also learned how to pass an artificial insemination pipette through a horse's cervix (much easier than the cows I tried last week!) And now, 10 weeks of school are behind us with only 6 more to go!

Okay, now, here are the pictures from Gramp's auction and a few other photos taken from last weekend:

Friday evening after I got to Tremont I took just a few photos of the equipment sitting out in the field:


Anyone need a wagon?

This is now Saturday morning, the auction started at 10AM:

Sunday after church we took some photos on Heather and Andrea's front porch.

The four siblings with Gramp and Gram (left to right): Uncle Richard, Aunt Colleen, Dad, Uncle Dan

Add Uncle Mark to the mix plus everyone acting naturally and it makes for quite the picture!

Got a picture with Dad, Evan, Gramp and Gram:

It sure was a nice weekend!  Now, I guess Mom, Heidi, and Carla will have to come out sometime!

We didn't hear about the auction. We are looking for an old plow!
