A Rolan update, and an impromptu NAT gathering

-
Well, I'll let you see for yourself how our friend Rolan is doing. Look at this kid! Doesn't he look GREAT!






Loran and family were here last night and today. We had a great time! Plowbaby had an especially fun time having someone play with her and fix her hair and nails.



Lunch became an impromptu gathering of the NAT posters that had attended KC, but missed out on meeting Loran and family. NEMO Scott was here also to deliver and pick up machinery.


Clockwise from the bottom left: Plowboy, Greg Stremel, Loran, my pesky BIL Tim, John Burns, and NEMO Scott. Brenda in the background


Again, from Plowboy to the left: Hop-a-long's son Jonathan, Greg, Loran, brother-in-law, Hop-a-long, John Burns, and Scott. Brenda is in the background


Same crew with Hop-a-long and Carolynn Burns in the background

(BTW, if you wondered what I fixed them for lunch, it was lasagne, lettuce salad and green beans. Carolynn brought the garlic bread and the Super Good Brownies.)



The Kid Crew. Plowbaby is still whining that she wants Kass back to play with her! Kass made quite an impression on the 3 year old!

It was wonderful to see them again, and I'm very glad that we could have a mini NAT Gathering.

Can't wait 'til June!!! :)

Happy trails,

Glad to see that Rolan is doing well.
It's fun to have those type of gatherings - Your Mom would be really proud of you.

I just got new cookbook software and have started putting it together!! It will be similar to the one I started when Jillian was a senior and I'll use those recipes. Instead of desserts, salads, etc. the divisions will be January, February, etc. with maybe a few extras like Easter and Thanksgiving. Think I can come up with 365 recipes? How long do you think it will take me to do it?? I'm already on day 5!!

Hey Plowgirl,

Really sorry I couldn't make the lunch. I got as far north as Independence, and had to turn back to farm. Call from banker who wanted my corn still standing in field. I had put it off for other more pressing jobs and this was am opportunity/excuse to get it out of my way. I could have met a few more NATers that were not at KC, but really missed not being able to see Rolan. Thanks for the invite and I will get up another time. Cowboycorn

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
