It's my party

-
By the time this posts, yesterday was my birthday.

And I had a GREAT day! Plowboy took the day off and we (all 3 of us) went to Joplin to have fun.

We met some friends for lunch in Pittsburg, then on to Joplin. Plowbaby fell asleep on the way down, so we went to 4States Truck (Chrome Shop Mafia place) to check out some stuff there (Plowbaby slept/then we read library books in the car). Went to Academy Sports and I got some new tenny-runners. Next was our TRUE destination......The House of Bounce. It is a "morton building" that is filled with inflatables (ie. moonwalk type things you jump in!) So my birthday party was at a House of Bounce. We headed back toward home,ate supper at Jim's Steakhouse in Pittsburg, then had to make the obligitory stop at Walmart. When we arrived home, I noticed that "someone broke in" to our house, and left me a beautiful hydrangea plant on the kitchen table. It was Plowboy's mom, and yes, the house was unlocked!

All in all, this was the BEST birthday I've ever had! (even tho I didn't get the Challenger!)


Plowbaby was concerned that I didn't have any presents to unwrap, and that I didn't get any Fiestaware like I'd asked for. I told her I got new tennis shoes, and asked if that was OK for my present. She said it was Ok, and that I'd use the shoes more than the Fiestaware anyway!

As always, a pleasure to read and see your pictures Plowgirl. Hope it was a wonderful birthday. You are very blessed with a good family.

Well, Jon, much as I'd like to take credit, the fact is that this year it happened to be wet....most years unfortunately she gets stuck with a birthday in the field.

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...
