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)

THANK YOU!!!

Wacky Weather

Saturday it was a high of 67*....Sunday 57* and drizzle. Monday: 91*! Ah good ol' Nebraska weather! (blah!!) Today, the mid-80*'s and rain. I did manage to get the front lawn mowed, and let the bovines chow down on the back yard all afternoon. :) (Um, call it multitasking!) ;-)

Last week was hectic, but I did manage to can 40# of peaches, (that was a LONG day!!) and a couple of quarts of salsa. Mom gave us a bunch of apples, so they are on the 'canning list' for this week.

Jared had a three day pass again, so bummed around on the main base. I am waiting news on what the doctor says--he was supposed to find out today what his test results from Friday were.

Kyle stayed home from school Monday, he was getting run down and sick. I wanted him to get extra rest and chill out.

Sunday we had a small family gathering in Nebraska City with my parents and siblings. It's always good to see them! Good food and good stories! :)

Here we are about 30+ years ago--Back row, David (youngest) and Marla, (0ldest)
