Good Morning from a cool Knolltop! It’s be so nice the last few days, cool at night, sunny during the day! I love it.

I haven’t been blogging because there just hasn’t been time. When I get done blogging on Dairy Agenda Today I have a million other things waiting. Like yesterday we painted the milkhouse….and it’s waiting for a second coat today! I had all the kids out there working away, some are better than others at painting, but we got the job done and will have to go at it as soon as I get done here.

Jake had his final game last night and they lost to Pittsford. He wasn’t feeling all that well and you could see it. He’s got Sarah’s cold and cough and just doesn’t have the energy he needed. But it was a nice night of baseball.

Today after the kids get done with the milkhouse, I’m headed for a perm….and OH MY HEAVENS IT’S WAY OVERDUE! Can you tell I’m sick to death of my hair? I stick it in a pony tail everyday and don’t even look at myself in the mirror…and we’ve had so many visitors, they are probably wondering why I look so blessed awful! But after today, I will have big hair again. I know that’s not the style, but I’ve come to a place in my life where I DON”T CARE! I like big hair and that’s what I’m going to have, no matter how many people don’t like it!

Better get!

Good Morning from a sunny Knolltop!

It’s going to be another beautiful day here and we’ve got lots of work to do. The white washer will come tomorrow so we’ve got to get everything out of the barn today so they can clean it and paint it. I’m not looking forward to this!

Then tonight Bobby and I will attend the Godfrey Farm Rural-Urban Picnic where the featured speaker will be Mike Cox, Michigan’s Attorney General who has tossed his hat into the Governor’s race ring. It should be interesting.

I should get a great article out of this event as always.

Yesterday we had lots of activity as always, but one camera worthy event was Jake, Sarah and Jake’s friend Mason with the horse. Sarah and saddled the horse for the boys to ride and led Bud down the road for them. I didn’t catch it until they were all done and pouring water on Bud to cool him off from the tough workout. Here’s what I witnessed.

Jake’s cowboy hat was the biggest HOOT! That is one of Bobby’s old hats that was up in the closet and got a bit misshapen, but Jake didn’t care, he still though he needed to wear it, with his shorts and tennis shoes???? What a kid!

It’s a sunny morning her on the Knolltop. And promises to be a very beautiful day!

Here is the video I’ve been wanting to upload for you. While the rest of you might not find this funny at all, to those of us who know Jake, it’s really funny. And sorry about my big mouth laugh in the background!

Good Morning from a cloudy Knolltop!

Last night Jake had a baseball game and boy was it eventful….in the last inning. The ump called a strike that the other coaches didn’t like and they let the ump have it. What they didn’t realize was who they were dealing with. This particular ump would rather get into a fight than call the game. So when he threw the coaches out of the game and the coaches kept arguing, the ump said, “I’m not afraid to come over that fence and start throwin’ some punches!” And with that, the coaches took their team off the field and forfeited the game. So, we won all because of an ump who “isn’t afraid to start throwin’ some punches.” We know the ump, and we know how he reacts to things, so it certainly wasn’t a surpise that he got into a shouting match. In the end, it was pretty humerous. Of course, not for the other team…but it gave me a chuckle on the way home.

Now I’m going to try to post the video I took of Jake and his drum set.

Good Morning from the sunny, but cool Knolltop!

Honey’s baby now has a name….Honeymaid! There is a short story behind that name. From the time I was a kid, I’ve always enjoyed dipping graham crackers in milk. I did it then, I still do it now and I’ve inadvertently taught my children about the goodness of graham crackers in milk.

A few months ago, I was arguing with someone about the price of graham crackers and that the store brand is just as good as the name brand. Then one day the name brand went on sale, so I bought some. Luke and I sat down to share some Honeymaid graham crackers and milk and we looked at each other and agreed, they were so much better than the store brand!

So when Luke was searching for a name for Honey’s calf, Honeymaid just seemed appropriate!

Yesterday afternoon, Jake acquired a drum set from a friend and he has been playing them ever since, so when I heard him outside, I decided to take a peek. The video camera was a must and now because I know Nana and Grandma will get a kick out of this, I will share another video. Just so you know, Luke, JW, Sarah and I were all outside watching the rock star do his stuff!

Well, I’m currently uploading it right now, it takes a while, when it’s done it will appear!
