How was your first month of 2018? Mine, had it's moments. Lets see if I can remember. Well, lets start by showing you some of the projects I've finished. There was one more that looked like a gingerbread house but I gave to someone for Christmas. These things took a while to do. The last two things I did do in January. So I've been a little busy. As for the rest of things going on well, the husband is still dealing with a broken foot that is not healing like it should because he does not sit still very well. It might get to the point very soon that he will end up with a cast on his foot. I'll try to keep you posted if I remember. The weather is typical Wisconsin weather. Right now, cold. below zero with wind chills maybe 20 below. There is snow. I'm not going to take a picture of the swing anymore. It doesn't pay. Last week or so I've been dealing with a cold. The cough is still lingering a little bit but it is getting bet...

I know I'm a day late. What can I say it's kind of distracting around here right now. This month has been not what I wanted. The husband is dealing with a broken foot that happened at work. The doctors are not being very helpful. The doc he was seeing said it was just a contusion. Wrong! He went it the other day again and was told it is fractured. Now he has a boot on and they said they are going to get on top of it. They were suppose to call yesterday and start setting something up. No call. I'm thinking it time I release my inner bitch and give them all a piece of my mind in a way they won't see coming.  This is seriously going to damage my plans to continue hiking the Ice Age Trail. I know I sound selfish. But the husband is also finding it very hard it get a lot of other things done around here. It is making it harder for him to care for the cattle with ease. Now it is a struggle to get around. Cutting firewood is not easy. And I'm sure he is having a very ...

The biggest thing in the news right now is all those girls that were taken in Nigeria by a bunch of, lets call them idiots. I thought we were beyond that kind of behavior. Boy was a wrong. This group thinks it's wrong to educate girls. They know that knowledge is power.  I think I heard at one point that the leader of this group of idiots is Western educated. So he knows that women are really smarter then most men.  It really burns me when I hear about things like this. I will never understand why men think they have to have so much control over women. Like women are only objects not real people. You know the way I see it, the human race is the only creature on this planet who threat the females as if they are just things to used as the men want. That's the problem. What is it going to take men to see that if it was not for a woman they would not be here. They should learn to treat women the way they want to be treated.  I have a saying I think I've said before....

To all you females out there, do you ever feel like this is still going on in the land of the free? I do. Lately I've been seeing more and more signs that we are sliding backwards when it comes to being equal to men. Like what you ask. Well, how do I put this... This is one of the ways to put it. I know the one on the right is the extreme version of what some places have their women wear. But lately I've been noticing more and more groups around here where the females are dressed in the longer, plain looking dresses with their hair in braids. I do live in an area where I've grown up seeing the Amish that drive the horse and buggies. The women are usually dressed in long black dresses and wear black bonnets. That I'm use to. But what I'm saying is that I'm seeing more and more of these other kinds of groups. Maybe they've always been there and I just have not noticed them as much until now. But the more I see them the more I get the feeling that we ...
