This is the recipe for the BEST cinnamon rolls I've ever made! Vonnie usually brings 2 pans of them to Thursday Lunch, and they are gone lickety-split!



(without the glaze)



What you will need:

1 box yellow cake mix
2 pkgs. rapid rise dry yeast
1 tsp. salt
5 cups flour


Put all ingredients together in large bowl. (Electric mixer with dough hooks or a bread machine.)
Add 2 1/2 cups hot tap water and mix well
Cover and let rise until double in bulk. (About 2 hours)
Turn out onto floured surface and knead lightly
Roll out about 3/4 inch thick
Melt 1 stick of margarine and pour over the rolled out dough
Sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar and chopped pecans
Roll up and slice about 1 inch thick
Place in 2 greased 9 x 13 pans and let rise for 30 minutes
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes DO NOT OVERBAKE!!!
Glaze or frost with your favorite frosting.




YUM! (just in case you forgot what they looked like while reading the recipe!)



Tonight is a demo derby committee meeting here at my house. I'm making Baked Potato Soup (recipe in Jan, '09) and chili and these cinnamon rolls. A menu for a very cold March night!

Enjoy! and stay warm tonight!

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 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.

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
