The kids are at home on the Knolltop....the work list has been given out and they are all heading outside for to complete their jobs. It's so nice to have free labor!

It's very foggy here and very warm, in fact I didn't even wear a sock hat to milk this morning...that's how warm it is.

Lots to do today...JW still has a game tonight....and I've got some writing to do before I head for Frankenmuth on Thursday. And meals to fix, laundry to do and buy a few groceries.

Well, I'll never get any of it done sitting here!

Update from PryorVu. Weekend weather was very nice. A little chilly but nice. Ground is still covered with snow. Had a "Neighborhood Super Party" at the PryorVu. Can't believe how many chips, dip, crackers, and chili the gang from nearby could eat. My Pepsi supply was definetly deminished also. You are right about the big game. First one I have ever watched in its entirety. Adds were good. The old boys laughed at some and the young boys laughed at some, never did we often laugh at the same ones. Snowed about an inch on Monday and the sun was bright all afternoon.
Have a good time in Frankenmuth. I still remember when we visited the place.
If the rest of the world was in as good of shape as the Pryvu, we'd be one big happy family. Take Care

Hey PryorVu...glad you had such a great time with our nephews...how fun but expensive to feed that crew! It's funny about Frankenmuth, I've gone there for the past 5 years but the only time I've actually seen the town was when you and I went some 18 years ago. How ironic!

It's Not What You Think

By
 By Melissa Hart News isn’t news anymore, it’s drama used as a weapon to stir up emotions and fuel our hatred for the opposite, polarizing point of view. I used to watch it religiously, but now I rarely spend my time or energy on it. If I were to believe what they tell me, every convenience store would be in a state of robbery, every country leader would qualify to be institutionalized and race would be the basis of every decision from friendship to farm loans. I just got back from a trip to Texas and witnessed the opposite of what you see on any media source.  I saw vast farm fields full of fertile soil getting ready to grow cotton, rice, corn and beans. Vibrant farm towns were still in existence with pick-up trucks parked outside of local diners packed full on a Saturday night. I drove thru Clear Fork Coffee Company in Albany, Texas for a great cup of coffee and a Texas Cheater that hit the spot. Kind people were the trend not the exception. I missed the trash can wi...

Dairy Christmas Traditions

By
It's not Christmas without...... Fill in the blank. Traditions are part of what builds a family and Christmas is full of them.  When you open your gifts, the dinner you create, right down to which ornament goes on what side of the tree. It's all a part of holiday traditions.  On the Knolltop, I have managed to carry on a tradition that began in my childhood, on my home farm.  Each Christmas was filled with holiday baking.  My mom and sister would begin baking and end with pretty packages filled with home made goodies to give away to friends and relatives. Among those baked goods were Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls originating from the local church cookbook published in the late 70's. My sister made those one year and we haven't missed a year since.  While the recipe originated to us in 1976, the tattered recipe card is from the late 80s when wrote a copy for myself when I moved out on my own. For 39 years Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls h...

Big bucks spent at Butlerview Sale

By
Good morning from the Knolltop . It's balmy here! When we went across the road at 4:30 this morning it was 45 out and the temp is climbing...yes it smells and feels like spring and I love it....but I know it won't last. Because no one else on the web has decided to report on it, I will give a tidbit of the Butlerview Parade of Perfection Sale that happened last weekend in Elkhorn Wisconsin. The sale averaged $19,845 on 124 lots and the sale gross was....are you ready.....sit down for this one.....$2,460,800.00! Amazing isn't it? There were buyers from 23 states and Canada and the high seller was Lot 8 at $190,000 purchased by Triple Crown Genetics, Kingsmill Farm & Gene Iager . The next highest consignment was Lot 1 at $155,000 purchased by David Ludwig of Illinois and the third highest was Lot 46 at $96,000 and Mike Garrow & Gerald Todd went home with that bargain. Apparently it was a high intensity sale with well over 800 people in attendance. I just w...
