Cathy and the children just returned from visiting Grandma in Kansas. A highlight of their trip was visiting Little House on the Prairie.
The children were surprised how small the house was.
Melody has enjoyed reading the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. She drew a [...]
Our son, Joel, grinding organic corn for the chickens. The corn is ground fresh each morning. About 50% of the vitamins are lost in the first 10 hours after a grain is cracked, and almost all of the vitamins are lost within 72 hours. The corn is mixed with a protein, mineral, and vitamin [...]
