Good chilly morning! Today is gonna be a great day!

Brrrrrrrr............but at least we don't have ice on the puddles like some people I know! :)

This morning's progress includes: The carpenter's are here to put up the wall and the windows in. I should not have the huge hole in the side of the house much longer!!!! HORRAY!!!! and Mark is out burning the brush pile (trees cleared from the west yard) and the old furniture from the basement. Sorry, Grandma, but the couch you bought in 1963 had to go. It had served all of us well!






And in case any of you were wondering how many days it us until Halloween, Plowbaby has it all down. She is as anxious for Halloween as I am. This is my favorite holiday.......well, maybe,next to Thanksgiving. The first week of October, she was driving me crazy asking about 4 times an hour if it was Halloween yet. So, I printed off a calendar that she could mark the days down until Halloween. The first thing she does each morning is get up and ask if she can mark her "X" on the calendar, she then counts the days until the orange square. Today it is 4 days. OMG! only 4 days left to finish her costume and start on mine! No, no hints, you're just going to have to wait until Friday's post!



Happy trails,
plowgirl

Dad's Pietenpol Dream - A Reality

The following article was written by my Dad's wife, Gloria. Dream of building, flying own airplane comes true for Ionia man By Gloria Garman-Schlaefli Dick Schlaefli, Ionia, has achieved his dream of building and flying his own airplane. It took 15 years to complete, but for Dick being able to now fly his Pietenpol Air Camper was well worth the long wait. Dick developed his love of flying during high school when his three uncles, Ray and Dan Richardson and Jim VanSickle, each had his own airplane and Dick would take frequent rides with them. His interest in flying continued into college and while attending Fort Hays State University, he took lessons and earned his pilot's license. He built model airplanes and did control line flying with them, but hoped some day to be able to fly in his own airplane. It was in a magazine article that he first learned about the Pietenpol airplane. He learned that Bernard Pietenpol designed and built the first Air Camper, in 1929 in Cherry Grov

Sixteen years ago

Sixteen years ago today there was a terrible ice storm across Kansas. Sixteen years ago today there was also a wedding in the United Methodist Church in Cawker City, Kansas. That's where Plowboy and Plowgirl officially became PlowFamily! I'm glad that life has led us down the path that it has. We have a good life and a great little family. Enjoy a "through the years" review in pictures. Engagement picture Wedding Day taken for the Successful Farming article in 1999 taken for Church directory in 2007 Christmas 2008

A day in the life......................

-
of me......during planting season. Most days go something like this: Up and at 'em after the "birthday's" on the morning show. (Ok, so 6:47 isn't really that early in the whole scheme of things!) Check email, facebook, newspapers. Off to a shower. Wake up Plowbaby and Plowboy, and get both moving. (not necessarily an easy feat!) Change the channel to "toonies" for Plowbaby, and try to get her to eat some breakfast and change her clothes and get ready for work/school. The goal is for her and I to be out the door BY 9. Again, I know....not real early.....but YOU haven't tried to get Miss Pokey around in the morning! Also in the mean time, get some laundry going, and dishes cleaned up from the night before. Drive up to the farm (or the last field from last night) to find the empty NH3 tanks from the night before. Hook up and head toward AgChoice. This is if I haven't already been sent on 3 other missions, before even hooking up the first t
