The List

-
I'm sure those of you who have kiddos have seen their Wish Lists. Plowbaby has been working on hers for several weeks now. Every commercial that is on TV gets the response "Add that to my list too!"

She is told that she can add to the List, but that doesn't mean that she gets everything on the List. So far the List looks like this:

Hungry, Hungry Hippos game
Color Wonder Magic Brush
EleFun Game
TinkerBell Movie
Barbie Holiday Movie with the Diamond Castle Movie
My Little Pony Ferris Wheel
Scooby Doo House Game
Barbie Peek-a-Boo
Candy Land
Lucky Ducks
a digital camera

She is getting a few of the things on the list, but NOT ALL!!!!

My list is much smaller:

more Fiestaware and a new pair of cowboy boots.

Of course, I'd settle for : the kitchen sink faucet to be replaced, the bathtub spout to quit dripping, someone to texture and paint the "new" walls in the basement, ahhhh, this list could go on for miles!

What do you want Santa to bring you this year?

Happy trails

That's not too bad of list for a 3 year old. I can remember some that were much longer!
I appreciate your faucet request - your uncle just replaced the little one by the stove, adding a shut-off valve underneath the sink. It took many, many tries before all the leaks were stopped but it works great now.
Like you I have a lot of practical wishes - the tile to be grouted, the house painted, rock for the drive. But I would really like a new computer and printer w/a scanner. I have a cookbook I need to finish (6 years in the writing) and some photo work I'd like to try. And a week someplace warm

A short trip to Wal-Mart for some necessary items,also adds lots to a little girl's wish list. I must have said no 100 times in a 20 minute period.

Plowgirl....you've got a nice informative webpage here. Reading ploybaby's list brought back memories of my childhood where I'd go through the Sears catalog and just mark out the things I didn't want because it was quicker that way. *grin*

My cousin had hungry hungry hippos and we had quite a bit of fun as I remember. I never wanted to be the pink hippo. As far as your list, I'd rather buy my wife new boots than have to fix the faucet. I'll never forget the nice note y'all sent me after my accident. Merry Christmas.

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
