For Our Troops......

Welcome!

Either you're searching for some information and stumbled across here, or already know me and are interested in what I/we do. :)

The dairy cow doesn’t ask for much, but she asks every day.
People who are creating wealth with a cow either are hardworking and reliable or get that way in a hurry. This is the way it has been for a very long time.
--Joann Grohman (Author of Keeping a Family Cow)


There are three kinds of people in this world:
Those who watch things happen,
Those who Make things happen,
or you can wonder what the hell happened.
--Captain Phil Harris (RIP)



A few of words of wisdom I have come across:


Choose not to just live within your means, but live within your needs.


If you don't want to be responsible for or defend yourself, please don't expect others to do it for you.

(My translation: Buck up and learn some skills!)


Prepare for the worst, hope for the best!

"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the AmericanGovernment take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian."--Henry Ford

**~*~**Spread the word!**~*~**

Small Family Farms need our help when ludicrous charges have come up against them. Maybe someday it could be one of us on this "make an example out of you" chopping block.

Pushing back (via donations, interviews, getting the word out, etc) and standing up for what we believe in will send a clear message that we refuse to just roll over and give up!

When we know what we're fighting for, we fight harder--Sgt . Gary Stein (USMC)

This month has gone by fast!

Almost the last day of January 2010. Wow, in some ways it has been a long month, but mostly it has flown by.
One month closer to spring and warmer weather is what I think! ;-)

The warm up a couple of weeks ago has yielded to once again consistent colder weather. There is still plenty of snow on the ground with ice patches that I curse at chore times. My packed down routinely walked paths also are slippery now too. Makes for some interesting 'slipping and sliding' funky dance moves to keep from falling down. Keeps the critters amused I am sure!

I am grateful we didn't get the snow, ice and general mess the southern and eastern portion of the USA got late this week. Ice is never fun to deal with and becomes a hazard to just about everything, and our comfort (electricity!) included.

Jared went target practising today with some friends and Kyle had to work. We had friends over, along with their son Caleb. We all went out to eat at our (only) local eatery--the bar/cafe. I like it, its 'real food', not processed chemically-tasting stuff and definitely not fast food. More like real homemade, which is what we prefer!

Here is Caleb and Dolly:
