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!!!

Jared is Back!


The top photo is Jared wearing his 'sweat band' and the second one is him over "there".  (I have more photos, will get them posted in the coming week).

It's been slow blogging for the last couple of weeks because we went to North Carolina to meet Jared as he came back Stateside.  A whirlwind trip that was a GREAT one! 
Hat's off to Danielle who let us bunk at her house (again)....she's such a sweet lady and a great cook! :)  Her husband is home now, too; making everyone happy!  Wooo-hooooo!!


Kyle is now officially in the National Guard, he will go to Ft. Leonardwood in early November....let the fun begin! (ha)

We have lots of peppers to pick and 'maters as well.  Apples are almost ready.....so the canning/freezing/drying marathon will begin again soon!!

We got 3/4 of an inch of rain while we were gone....when we got home 3 days later we couldn't even tell it had rained.  Still dry here, but not as bad as other parts of the country we saw on our trip.  Corn is just getting harvested now.....the soybeans are starting to turn color.

All in all it's been a busy month, but we can all say a "Thank You" Prayer for keeping our families safe: in war, travels and just daily life. :)
