Update Wow! What a year it has been. Our "son" has been such a great addition to our family. He went out for football as the kicker and did a fabulous job. So much so that he will be getting a college scholarship to play at my alma mater. We are so excited to have him back! He will go home for...

I'm sitting here watching the snow fly and hearing the wind howl. We hardly had any snow this winter and have had more snow and rain this April than all those months. We desperately needed moisture so I'm not complaining but I never remember ever having snow this late. I'm fairly certain we will...

Very neat. They remind me of ones my grandpa made. I like the Indian.

We sell a few head of drug free corn fed beef every year too. Most of the time it is a qtr or half and it is sold by the top live weight from our local barn. They pay the processinf which is around $125- 150 per quarter. We also sell from our home, whichis licensed. I charge pretty close to...

That movie was made about an hour away from me. Scary movie. I'm afraid of skunks and other critters that carry rabies.

We picked up Friday night. He seems like a great kid! He skyped his parents and grandparents today after church and so we got to see them. He lives in ansmall village and his grandparents live across the road and have 200 diary cows so it's nice that he isnfamilar with farm life. He was...

picking him up tonight!

Ok Ryder. Thanks for info.

Yes Greg that will hit close to home for him I'm sure. He just turned 17 so I'm not sure what class he'll go into- I don't knownthat it matters

We are picking up our German foreign exchange student on Friday. We are getting excited as we have never had one before and hope it goes ok. I'll have my own two in high school now too and hubby thought it would be fun. He is familiar with farming so that's good. He wanted to play soccer but...

We don't have winter grass around here, just hoping to get the summer grass growing :)

Started this morning and so far have. 9/10". I don't know if it will help the corn but will help the beans and punkins. Been praying for a long time! Hallelujah! :banana:

Sorry for your loss.

I love to read and so does my daughter. I probably average a book a week. The genre I like the best is suspense/thriller/action type books. Carl Hiaasen, John Sanford, Lee Child, and Robert B. Parker (just died last year, he wrote the Spenser books that led to the TV series with Robert Urich)...

I have a 6+ acre punkin patch that takes up all my time in the fall and part of my summer. I substitute teach and coach a lttle too. Hubby is a full time farmer.

I forgot to check what number I was. Our state voted out 3 state supreme court justices, including the chief justice, basically over their decision to allow gay marriage in Iowa. Chet Culver, our gov, was also voted out, basically for the same reason. Voter turnout was very good, lots of ppl...

We have gradually done things. My in laws added the one part in '75. We have since redone 2 of the 4 bedrooms and the bathroom upstairs for the kids. We resheetrocked the living room from the beautiful 1975 fake wood paneling. Last year we redid the dining and kitchen area. My next project(who...

The roof is brown and the trim is tan. It's hard to tell on the pic, so if we would do something else, it would have to be one of those two colors. I'm really puzzled about the landscaping, so any ideas are welcome. Don't really want to do anything with water as it would be frozen or full of...

The silos aren't used anymore. My FIL used to feed cattle and we still have cows but don't use them. They will not be torn down though because one happens to have my hubby and I's birth year on it and the other has our name. We've had a lot of positive comments about the house, but of course...

We had 3 hail storms this year. The first one hit the house and roof pretty hard. So we now have a "new" house. I was thinking the carpenters were too slow getting it done, but between the green wrapper and finished siding we had another hailstorm as bad or worse. Lots of people that had redone...
