Crash, boom, bang...........ugh (and a few recipe anecdotes)

-
Well, I had great intentions of blogging a new recipe each week until we got back into the field for corn planting. Yeah, right!........my laptop CRASHED a week and a half ago. I miss it. I miss it dearly. My friend the computer guru says it's either a power issue or the motherboard is bad. I did her recommended steps, and have determined that the motherboard is the culprit. I'm hoping that we can resurrect it by making one working computer out of 2 non-working ones. Here's to hoping the spare one has a good motherboard!

Meanwhile, I'm using plowbaby's eMac that Santa brought her for Christmas. It's almost like learning all over again. I have a very STRONG dislike for the one button mouse, and thinking backward about how to do execute an operation is about more than my feeble brain can handle!

But our recipes are done and the pictures are taken. I just have yet to figure out how to download pictures onto the mac.

Easy Chocolate Eclair "cake" :

The dessert can be found here : http://www.mommyskitchen.net/2008/06/easy-chocolate-eclair-cake.html This is courtesy of Mommy's Kitchen. Thanks for the super yummy recipe Tina. She has the recipe and step-by-step directions on her site. (Just picture my little cutie putting it together in the pictures). This is a recipe that kids can do by themselves. Plowbaby did most of this dessert all by herself. And it was a HUGE hit at Thursday Lunch!

Yesterday morning, Plowbaby wanted green eggs and ham for breakfast. (It is Dr. Suess week at school this week). I asked her how she thought green eggs were made. Her reply was "Just put eggs in the bowl, use my stirrer and then add green coloring" {Smart kid I have!!!} So we added 2 eggs, some milk to her batter bowl and then some green coloring until we had her desired "green-ness". I scrambled them up in a skillet, then placed them on a white plate with 2 slices of ham. She was in heaven with her creation! Sure wish I could figure out how to post pics with this mac......they are priceless!

In "outside" news......it's finally starting to warm and dry up. The boys are been spreading chicken litter for the last few days. I'm sure we are real popular with the neighbors about now. (NOT!) I just hope it stays warm and dry so we can start working down the knee deep ruts that we left from fall harvest.

Have a good week everyone!

Happy trails,

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
