Just a little up date. I have been hard at work and little time to play lately. So here is the news....I have been building sets for the musical that the college puts on every year. I just finished glazing and sent to a charity auction a huge ceramic bowl that brought 800 dollars. These funds go toward the foundation of the college. These kinds of events are very rewarding for me at this point in my life. I plan on making it to the classic and trying to encourage a few others to join me in the trip. I look forward to meeting all of you again and working on the spirit station.
Turkey season is just around the corner and hope to see some in the near future. Planning a trip also for turkey hunting in the black hills with JW again this year.
Annette and I have expanded our bee keeping operation to 6 hive this year and hope to have a little honey for our efforts.
I made it out to our  new pond and caught a couple bass and saw a few of my grass carp. Looks like they made it through the winter with out a winter kill and that's a good thing here in Iowa
Work on the bow shop will most likely start this summer because more of the puzzle pieces are coming together.

Good to hear the pond came thru!  I look forward to beekeeping notes this coming season, too!

A year and a half of planning is now starting to come together. The shelter project was started this weekend. This structure is going to  house many activities. I am moving the wood fire pottery kiln to the site and my black Smith equipment. The rest of the space will be set up for bow building. When you start moving dirt it starts getting real.

I'll bet that having so many talents and intrests is a challenge to know which one to work on each day!  I am feeling kind of guilty in asking you to decorate the buffalo skull at the Classic as I know you have lots of other things more important to do there!  I am pleased with the way the skull cleaned up.  Maybe Wewicki (sp) and your other "Station" friends will pitch in to help.  I am planning to bring my pipe to bless your efforts there!  I am disappointed that JW had to work as it would have been a hoot to travel with him!  Joe

Just got home from taking to the tax assessors office.  I think I know what it will do to me tax wise....that's all I'm saying.
I got a couple guys that are going to help with concrete now.
I gotta check on electric and water now.
