When this rolly polly pup came into our family he had hair but it grew a lot longer.
Definitely hard to recognize Teddy after his haircut, but he knew us.

One dollar bet
Winning the lottery would have helped with our farm debt. I was sure I had the numbers.
As usual, Bob had his doubts. Listen to this column from June 1990 to hear the results.
I rarely purchase any lottery tickets. When the prize was half a billion, I did buy one. Not even one of my numbers was called.
Dangling big prizes in front of people has everyone standing in long lines ready to put down money better spent on bread and milk, or at least a candy bar.

How should I sign off of this blog?
Here’s my question of the day. How should I sign off when ending a video recording?
I’m looking for something that is ‘me’.
All reasonable ideas will be considered. At least, I will think about them.
Nothing tasteless, please.
Now you have your assignment.
I look forward to reading your suggestions.

Lawn Jenga
The blocks went up and up, wobbling a little with each move.
And then the inevitable happened.
Rachel lost.
More Jenga builds went up that evening. Eli, taller than Harrison, helped his competition when Harrison could no longer reach the top of the wood stack.

Camp Manzke 2021 — more work than play
Too much went on this weekend to put in a short blog, but I will give you a couple hints of the fun/work that took place on Sunnybook Farm.
One of my grandchildren taking his turn working tractor hydraulics as adults worked the woodsplitter for more campfire wood.
Seven of my eleven grandchildren saying goodnight to the setting sun.
There was so much that happened I can’t get my head around it all.
We cleaned up a lot around the farm with so much more to do. I can’t thank my family for all the work they did this weekend.
I will now try to write a more complete column about Camp Manzke 2021. You’ll be able to read more about all the work and fun we had over the weekend when I’m finished.
