For now the torch is being passed. I can't imagine I'll never be back, but life happens and you never know. It's been a great run, but to be the best you have to have your head in it. That is no longer the case and hasn't been for a few years. Remember I was an endurance athlete first and pumpkin grower second. Losing our top 4 this year didn't make it any easier. So for now I'll do what I can to keep New Richmond and our local "girls power" at the top of the leader board. Though John and I had a tough couple seasons with some real bad luck it's been great watching close friend and neighbors carry the torch. Weighing a 2100# pumpkin right here......wow. Watching it grow all season.....incredible. Thumping it before picking it up KNOWING it was going OVER a ton. Crazy.

Thanks as always to all my great friends. I truly appreciate all the support and being back in contact over the last week has been nice...and GREATLY appreciated at such a tough time.
