50th Wedding Anniversary


These bull whips were a hit! I even managed to
crack one (when no one was looking!)


It was a fun filled week that ended not so good with flu bugs flying around , but we had a good time honoring Norv's folks  for their 50 years of marriage! The weather didn't always cooperate and it wasn't the warmest either but we had a nice big pavilion and a nice big fire roaring, lots of coffee, lots of food and  lots of gabbing and catching up with family we don't see very often!


The whole reason for the Skrivseth Reunion/ 50th Wedding Anniversary  celebration

Elv , Arla and the kids at home yet, from Wisconsin
Ivan , Dena and Family from SC

Evie came from Ohio
Dayton, Judy,Alex, Gilbert, Benjamin,Rebecca and Jonathan
Eric and Jared 
Our family
Bruce, Shilah and kids
Matt , Amy and boys
Jay ,April , Olivia and Jemima
One afternoon we all toured the houses and lands of us kids that live here, here we are at Shilah's
 house, inspecting flower beds
Jay and little girls, they love their daddy!
Matt and Jay grilled us some awesome tasting ribs! 


Edd and Corina Byler made homemade ice cream one evening  , the machine was talked about, fiddled with , hashed out some more and in the end it did what it was supposed to do! , crank  and make ice cream!



This little play house got lots of use!

Big people talking, they choose to sit!
Not so little boys...
More ice cream making..





Tea party on the last day...
Our Frogmore Supper, DE-LISH! 
Yummy Breakfast

The pros of owning a bulk food store!

  ...trying out a Himalayan Pink Salt block from a customer! "would I carry this, please"? (Do I crush it or just pass it around the table?) :) .....i take all the produce home that get bumped and briused. Onions get chopped and frozen, which I love having on hand ,just don't like too many at a time! ....grabbing baking stuff off the shelves,including many items I normally wouldn't get, like mini m&m bits! Funny tho', my spices containers are emptier than ever, I forget to pick them up 'cause I don't have a grocery list anymore! ....farm fresh eggs from local farmers! ....i get to test out the latest kitchen gadgets,including the broken stuff! ....meat and cheese ends from the deli, they make wonderful snacks when having  friends over!

I’m Back!

 I’ve been thinking the last few weeks of this poor forsaken blog, so I looked up the other day and it was actually 2012 that I quit. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then and our family has grown and there’s been lots of changes and a wedding and a daughter-in-law and grandbaby coming and now we’re having another wedding In a few weeks! Wow , you never know what will happen in six more years! I thought about trying to catch up over our lives the last few years, but most of you already know What all we’ve been up to so I’m not gonna try! I’m just going to start where we are now! This is going to be a year to remember for sure! 2018, Who would’ve thought, that we would be facing cancer, looking forward to being grandparents, having a 19-year-old daughter getting married, another daughter dating!  It’s almost mind-boggling, but I am reminded  that when I started this blog and I was a busy younger mother with six little kids, that I literally took one day...

Kitchen Remodel...

This was the beginning of a terrible messy job of remodeling our kitchen. Norv and John Schlabach did the work of ripping off the ceiling and putting a new one on, insulating the new part (Samantha did that, crawling around up there) and then installing new cabinets. But before that could be done , they had to move the window, put drywall mud on the walls to cover up and blend together all the different wall coverings, rip out old cupboards, move the water lines for the dishwasher and new sink.... and this was all done in 5 days! This was open to the outside for a few days, so we stayed at Norv's folks while this was being done... see the original trailer roof shape? Here is the finished product! I got my curtains hung and the only thing missing is the microwave hood that may never be! I'd like to actually put a shelf in it's place. Looking toward the living room from the island...I love my shelf that just happened to appear after the ceiling got ripped off, the end ...
