A goodly heritage – Triumph in the farmhouse kitchen

April 18, 2022 by Wenda Grabau Leave a Comment

Fillmore County Journal- A Goodly Heritage

The milk production from our cow is tapering off, but the chickens are producing many eggs.  Some days customers empty out our cache of large brown eggs.  Then there are other days when 20 dozen sit in the cellar waiting to be used. My husband collects nearly four dozen eggs a day.  You might imagine what a challenge it is to use all of them.  We give many to our children to … [Read more...]

The Bible is the Word of God

Fillmore County Journal- A Goodly Heritage

In support of the commentary published on March, 7 by Steve Eickhoff, I would add some comments. Whether or not men and women consider the Holy Bible to be the Word of God, the fact remains that it is the Word of God.  The Bible will not change though men’s opinions may. The apostle Peter called it “the living and abiding Word of God” ( I Peter 1:23 NASB).  He also said “that … [Read more...]

A Goodly Heritage – When you were a kid

Fillmore County Journal- A Goodly Heritage

“What was life like when you were a kid?” Have you ever been asked that question? That happened to me just a few days ago. I met a young man from Russia who curiously, posed this query to me. I obliged him by listing a few everyday lifetime memories. Some are unique to my family, but no doubt there are those which many folks share. As the firstborn child in my family, Mom … [Read more...]

Valentine wishes It is not always that I get the chance to publish an article on the exact date of a holiday.  So this is a unique opportunity to share with you something out of the ordinary.  My interest in writing did not emerge until my children began to learn about composition and creative writing in high school.  Since then I have tried my hand at writing short stories, … [Read more...]

How is your memory? As the old year passes and the new one arrives it is common for us to look back over the events of the past year and reminisce.  For some people wonderful things happened, yet for others harsh or tragic experiences occurred.   My hope is that the former has brightened your life and been a delight.  For those with the severe times of life to recollect, may … [Read more...]

Fillmore County - Goodly Heritage

My “Milky Whey” day Today went quite well.  Early in the morning, my husband gifted me with a bucket containing about three gallons of raw, chilled milk and its cream.  He carried it from the milk house ready for my use. Since my refrigerator was already filled with all of the milk and cream I could use, I skimmed off the cream and dutifully began making butter.  Mixing the … [Read more...]

After-beaver clean-up I once wrote you a story called “A Beaver Tale.”  Unfortunately, to my point of view, the story was not over. Mr. Landowner returned to his little cabin on a small lake in the north woods of Wisconsin.  His aim was to improve the cabin itself by cementing in several stunning split rocks from the fireplace and chimney.  The past 50 years had taken a toll … [Read more...]

Fillmore County Journal- A Goodly Heritage

The old house story I drove to town today to get groceries.  My four-year-old grandson accompanied me.  We chose to take a picturesque route.  The farmers’ fields sporting the typical colors of the harvest season attracted our attention.  The blue sky illumined the way before us. I have taken this road to town for many years.  During that time much has changed and much has … [Read more...]

Fillmore County Journal- A Goodly Heritage

Time out with the kids Grandpas and grandmas can find it a challenge to get time with their grandchildren.  Time  and distance take a toll on how often and how deep their relationships can go.  Our children’s families are not unlike many others.  Their homes are not situated close to the farm.  So we are faced with making the times we have together something special. One … [Read more...]

Fillmore County Journal- A Goodly Heritage

Thankful for once a year jobs Today I sat in my centenarian farm kitchen cutting fresh broccoli we harvested from our garden.  As I worked I could hear the echoes and the low drone of my husband’s tractor. Finishing my job of blanching the green delicacy and packaging it, I sauntered outdoors to the corn cribs where the action was taking place. A corn crib is a structure … [Read more...]
