This one from my dad is very short today.
How do you buy doughnuts? I bet it isn’t anything like the way my dad’s family got them during the Great Depression. Find out what Chuck wrote in this short video.
Animal food often feeds people. It all depends how hungry a person is and how good the food is.

Without a heated machine shed, farm projects waited for spring and warm weather. That meant winter was a time for things needing doing inside the house.
The list was long and we knew that everything wouldn’t get done. So the most pressing was attacked. This is about the one project Bob tackled.
If we were lucky the house project would be finished before spring or it wait until another winter came our way. This time the bathroom work was finished in time.

I loved our waterbed especially in the winter as it was heated.
Yet there was always the possibility of springing a leak, which had me a bit nervous especially when the kids were bouncing on it.
I don’t know if it was a premonition or just fear of what could happen but the idea of leaks kept me vigilant.
We kept that waterbed for many years and even got a second one. Yes, we did have a couple of issues, but I would use one again. If I did have one, I wouldn’t want to get out of its warmth on a cold winter day.

As I walked down the lane with Sunny, I remembered why I don’t care to walk the lane with him in the spring.
There may be muddy spots, but that’s not what bothers me.
It’s the goose poop that is scattered all over. Sunny considers these blobs yummy treats. Ugh!
The wind was picking up as we headed back to the house. Sunny never seemed to get enough of his goose treats. As we neared the road the number of ‘treats’ diminished.
It always turns my stomach when he goes after these bits. Our next walk will be on the road where Sunny only gets dog treats that come out of my pocket.

It’s been many months since I saw any grandchildren. On Saturday, Rob and Tara stopped by with Aryana and Caleb.
More joy entered my house that day.
After lunch, Aryana gave me a brief gymnastic demonstration by doing a backbend.
The future will bring more fun with my children and grandchildren.
Eventually, we’ll have another Manzke campout in my backyard.
I can’t wait for summer when my world will open more.
