Dutchman's Breeches
A couple of mysteries that I'm waiting to find out the resolution. The dairy lost a cow on Friday. She bloated during the night and the vet couldn't save her. The culprit was either mold on the corn just purchased from the neighbor or new knives in the chopper that might have ground the silage too fine. The nutritionist was called in and he should have the answer this week. Over the weekend I found an old photo of a chest that had a message hand-written on the back. It basically read "your grandfather Henke made this and Aunt Marie said it should never leave the family." I became curious so asked my brother-in-law Dan, who finds genealogy fun. He thought the grandfather could refer to my Grandma Pearl's grandfather Hanke. No idea who Aunt Marie was. I'm checking in w/ that part of the family to see if they have a clue. Today I got a call that my new glasses had arrived and I could pick them up anytime. It was a nice afternoon so I drove the 30 miles to the store. However, they couldn't locate them. They thought they might have given them to someone else??!! Anyway, they have reordered them just in case whomever picked them up doesn't return them. What's life w/o a few unknowns?

I just bought a couple of the Dutchman's Breeches and planted them in a shady location.

Doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling about going back there to get my glasses! -Nancy
