Welcome to Prarie Pi. This blog exists to journal and document the memories that our family experiences. Pi is "an amount of type that has been jumbled or thrown together at random." We hope to assemble in words and pictures the daily thoughts and activities that happen in our household. We do this to help those that are distant from us get a glimpse into our days so that the miles that separate us won't keep us apart.

Old World Wisconsin......

....a place where you can step back in time and experience life the way it was over 150 years ago.


Sweeping the back porch....

...was fun to do with friends.

Free roaming poutry birds were fun to catch....

...and pet.

Wooden shoes.....were the practical way to walk to the barn to do chores....a long time ago!

Collecting eggs from the chicken coop....

...and walking them EVER SO CAREFULLY back to the house was a chore that Coco didn't take lightly.

Washing clothes rated pretty high on the favorite chore list....

....for not only Coco....


...but.....

for others, too.  It was a beautiful, gorgeous day to hang the laundry on the clotheline.....

...but the clothes had to be properly wrung out....

...to get out every last drop of water.

We watched corn being ground up for animal feed.


But, one of the favorite spots of all...

...was the carpenter shop.....

....especially for Nacho!!!

He learned to use a twitter....

....to chop wood.

Nacho could have stayed and worked with wood all day!  With his middle name of "Joseph," no wonder he has an interest in being a carpenter!



But, the best part of our trip back in time.....was spending time with SD neighborhood friends.  Even though time marches on.....time can stand still....even if it is for a few hours....long enough to catch up, reaquaint....

....and make new memories!

We had such a wonderful day!
