This is a public service announcement. If you’re one of those people who leans back on your chair, so that it’s on its two back legs. Break the habit. Seriously. Your mom will thank me. Businesses and school custodians will thank you. Chairs all over the world will thank you. We have about 250 chairs […]
Preparing for a General Store
My parents and family are so good to me. I often get some crazy ideas. I’ll look at something and my wheels start turning. Suddenly, I’m not sleeping at night and I’m making plans to execute my idea. The ideas usually stem from observations I’ve made from places that I’ve visited. Sometimes I fall flat […]
Let’s Get Busy
We have so many projects going on right now that our heads are starting to spin. Let’s back up a little. In November, we bought a bunch of supplies from a kitchen that was being torn down. This brought us lots of fabulous kitchen equipment and storage opportunities, but also called for several massive overhauls/remodeling […]
Getting All Decked Out
We put in our miniature golf in 2004. Over the years, we have seen steady growth in miniature golfers. Sometimes it seems like customers are kind of like compound interest. You don’t start out with many, then you get a few, they tell their friends, then one day you wake up and there’s a line […]
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 […]
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 […]
Who’s Ready to Say, “I Do!”
Cooler temperatures mean that our grass is growing at a slower rate. We have been continuing to water in our grass because we planted almost 15 acres of seed and we want it to be well established in the spring. Our outside crew has less grass to mow, so they have some time available to […]
The Only Way to Seed
First of all. I need to apologize about this post on two levels. 1) It’s really late. I forgot I had these pictures on my camera. 2) I wasn’t the one who took these pictures. I forgot to tell my staff member to change the white balance, so these pictures are a little weird. As […]
Early to Rise Makes Two Men Wise
Dick and Doug are honing in their carpentry skills again now that fall is upon us. Up until a few weeks ago, they have been mowing and maintaining the grounds at the golf course. They claim they enjoy this break from the norm. I’m glad they do! I asked them what time they would be […]
Fancy Seeding You Here!
As you may or may not know, we’ve been working on creating a new ceremony site at the golf course. It all started last year, when the drought caused our ponds to go dry. With an empty pond, we decided to take advantage of it and build a peninsula that would double as a ceremony […]
