I have taken about a month of a hiatus in writing blog posts. It definitely didn’t have anything to do with lack of activity around the golf course. Probably because there has been too much activity. Here I am, though, back in the saddle and ready to bring you lots of information about all of […]
Twelve Days of Christmas Giveaway
Last year, I thought it’d be fun to play with the numbers of 12/12/12, so we gave away a bunch of fun prizes. As it turns out, it was so much fun that we decided to return this year with more fun! This post will be updated for the next twelve days with each day’s […]
Shop Local Business
Anyone a big fan of Black Friday? Our family has never been very into the rush of the big box stores. We prefer to spend the day with our family and enjoy the down time that this time of the year provides for us. The winter is often a pretty sleepy time around the golf […]
Winter Prep
As the temperatures drop, the level of activity increases around these parts. We’re getting prepared for Old Man Winter. We like to wait until we can see that we’re officially in the deep freeze. Then, it’s all hands on deck to knock out the projects. Most of it has to do with water. If it […]
Classy Dumpster Diving
One of our good friends told us about a commercial kitchen that was getting demoed. They were planning to just throw away lots of great kitchen equipment, so he invited us to take a peak at it in case we wanted some of it. The kitchen had not been in use for about five years, […]
Celebrating Audrey Brady
Today is my Grandma’s 98th Birthday. If you like to play golf, then you need to give her a hug. We wouldn’t be here without her! She was born in Des Moines in 1915. The oldest of 8 children. Only 6 of whom lived into adulthood. She always says that all of her siblings were […]
Cinnamon, Sugar, Cookies, Bread – Oh My!
Last year, my mom decided she wanted to have a Bake Sale. She enjoys spending time in her kitchen and golfers, wedding guests, and family enjoy eating what she makes. She’s been making homemade cinnamon rolls for years. When I saw a small girl, she used to make four dozen every morning to sell at […]
Irrigation Equation
Ahhh. Water. It’s earth’s most abundant compound. It can be easily found naturally in all three of its states. It’s weird and defies logic. It’s the universal solvent. It expands when it freezes. When you really think about water, it’s pretty amazing. We have experienced mass amounts of water. We have experienced lack of water. […]
Concrete Stories
It isn’t any secret that our parking lot needs some attention. Unfortunately, it’s always one of those things that gets pushed to the back burner because it takes such a big bite out of the ole’ budget. Three years ago, we had a big patch fixed on the lot. The damage occurred when a natural […]
Dynasty, Ducks, D-apparel
As I mentioned here, Theresa met up with a few of her sales people earlier last week. Although fun, they don’t allow her to sample any foods. Luckily, Pat, who is our salesman is quite charming which makes up for the lack of food. He even literally gave me the shirt off his back one year […]
