Still alive on the Wanch, here's proof:

If K7 is my companion on a trip into the Big city, chances are good we'll stop at his favorite eatery - Panera Bread. This particular day we visited the cinema and watched "The Hobbit". In spite of some literary license by the director in adding new characters and scenes, we loved it.

Daily milk supply.

Annual maintenance spreading rock at the high traffic areas that get muddy, like around water bubblers and gates. Price of truck = $16,000. Truckload of rock = $21.50. Shovels = $8.75 each. Watching our bull, Red, supervise the boy's work = Priceless!

S and I try to visit our parents once a month, far away in a much Bigger city. Here, Mother and Daughter chatting and doing nails.

Our Scout Troop attended the Annual Klondike last weekend. Here is a photo of them relaxing after totally dominating the day's competition, winning 7 out of 9 events. Obviously we have to get better in two areas before returning next year to defend our title.

We recently moved into our newly constructed Church building. The boys and I spent three days in a row helping to empty and clean our old Church building.

Bitter sweet to leave the old place. We have many fond memories of attending Church, dinners, Scouts, party's and events in this one-time furniture store.

After two years, finally had gutters installed along the front of the house. 

K7 waiting for us to load the final piece of furniture from the old Church into the moving truck. It is being shipped to some congregations in Texas.

K2's last day of Christmas vacation. Was delayed in heading back to school due to a flat tire.

The boy's firewood business has kept them busy, but they are not complaining about being paid money at the end of the day. 

This load had lots of big, heavy white oak. They earn their money the old fashioned way - hard work.

Three sweet girls, with a miniature donkey hiding behind them. 

Another sale of firewood!

I need to update the sign with an "s". We have plural Dogs - six at the moment.

K7 getting in some practice driving.

Pretty ducks dealing with a thin sheet of ice on the pond.

  1. Farm looks great! Agreed, Red watching the boys work was my favorite. Although I liked a lot of the pictures.
