This is a photo of the property my folks moved to 72 years ago this spring. It sat at the crossroads of 69 and 54 highways north of Fort Scott, Kansas. My aunt and uncle and my parents bought this farm in 1951. They tore down the barn to use the lumber on their first 10 units of the motel. They blew up both of the silos. The barn had 32 foot hand-hewn beams inside. The farm had been used…

In September, 2021 I showed how to find a gas well using two hangers. To see a demonstration of this method, go to this website and click the link in that post. https://sallyjadlow.com/how-to-find-natural-gas/ . This winter, our farm house is heated with the gas I found using two wire hangers. We no longer use expensive propane. In February 2022 the well drillers drilled where I told them the wires crossed. They drilled in that spot and found gas at 325…
As I finished reading through the Bible this past month, a scripture stood out to me. Revelation 1:3 says:Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near. Many times we talk about reading the Bible, but rarely are we encouraged to read it aloud. That way God’s word gets in not only through our eyes, but also through our ears. God says we will be blessed if we…
This Christmas I made aprons for all the ladies in the family (including the littlest one.) One of the ladies’ husbands (not pictured) remarked, “To give my wife an apron is like giving a blind man a telescope!” I take it she doesn’t cook much. Each apron has a bar towel on the front so you can wipe your hands as you go. I ended up sewing twenty-two. It is kind-of habit forming, once you get started. One of my granddaughters…

Sometime back I published a blog about the squirrels eating the garden around the patio. Summer has come and gone–but in spite of my son’s excellent trapping, we seem to have more of those pesky buggers than before. Now they’ve taken to eating the pumpkin a friend gave me. I had intended to make it into pies, but they got there first. They don’t even flinch when I’m around. They just keep chewing. So much for a fresh pumpkin pie!…
This year my birthday fell on Thanksgiving. This was number 80 for me. I don’t know how I got to be so old. My kids decided we needed to make it a special one. They asked the family to write what they remember about our interactions. The goal was 80, but when it was all compiled, they came up with 100! As Sara read them to me, I had to guess who said what. Next up was a game of…
