Just noticed...

I just noticed how many posts that are out there about food. I know Kelly has one and so does Evan and Nate and theirs is not even nice cause it points out what we all are looking forward to...THANKSGIVING!

Wonder who else and how many more posts will be out there about food before and on thanks giving day?

Saturday Morning Breakfast...

Woke up this morning thinking about french toast...man it has been awhile since I have made it. So I rolled out of bed headed to the store and got the Hawaiian Sweet bread and made the best french toast ever!

Well maybe not ever...but it sure hit the spot this morning!

Crazy Coffee...


This animal helped make my coffee...I know just follow along with me, or him I guess!

This animal eats the ripe coffee cherry and then produces this...




Yes it is the poop from said animal and this makes the most expensive coffee in the world and this was where my coffee came from...anyone want to name it?

Sorry Jake...

35 - 40

Don't worry he gets it...as does anyone in Alma.

Sorry guys.

Mrs Maril saves the day...

Ahhh... Miss Maril, Kelly's aunt that lives down south...and is ever faithful to send birthday and Christmas presents in the form of gravy mix. I have a great love for this woman...and yes I am trying to butter her up for more later on in life!

At any rate it is always nice to have something that takes you back to the times you grew up!

soooo thanks to Miss Maril!

Welcome back...

Ladies and Gentlemen the great Jake Schlegel is back after a little leave of absence. So make sure to post on his site give him the love he deserves!

Jake...Kelly and I have been married since 1995 that doesn't make 20 years its only 13 years! we however have know one another a lot longer than that!

And for some odd reason I cannot get a certain memory out of my head. The time I stuck you out in center field on the last game of the year for a sub-section game (it was a big deal we win we move on...we loose we don't move on). All I was worried about was you then in the middle of the game you tracked down a fly ball that was well out of your reach...but somehow you caught it!

Good to see you obeying God!

Ladies and Gentlemen...Jake Schlegel he is a son, a brother, a husband, a father, a man who loves God with all his heart, and a man who passes out after giving blood...hehehe, sorry i still laugh at that!

It was totally Wicked...


Got totally blessed last night and got to go to the theater with my wife. It was awesome...I like movies like "The Incredible's", "HoodWinked", "Bugs Life", "Toy Story" and you get the picture. This story proved just as good, I had been told it was a good story but after seeing it...I am impressed!

However it has been a while since I have been blessed to go to the theater and see a good show...the last very impressive thing I have seen was in 1994 while I was in St. Petersburg, Russia I got to see "Swan Lake" by the Russian Ballet Company...wow that was impressive!

So last night Kelly and I got to go (shout out to Nate and Leslie for giving us the tickets) I knew Kelly was a little apprehensive from the get go but she is always a good sport and ended up having a great time.

If you get the chance to go...go!

Old pictures...

AAhh...the old egg on the spoon game, being played by one Katie Ferdig (aka: Smith) who is now a Leader in Driven Jr. High. It is so cool to watch people grow! Had a great conversation with her tonight and found out she ran a half marathon a few days ago and is planning on running in the Twin Cities Marathon next year!
She has grown into an amazing woman...i know Kelly and I are proud of her!

Good Friends...

Got to spend the day with some good friends Dima and Anya...all I can say is we are all blessed!

Really cannot get off of how blessed we all really are. You know we tend to forget the little things that God does sometimes cause we are looking for the big!

The sun rose and the sun set...God is faithful!

Have Fun...Fred

Filled Full...

I figured that my postings have lacked a little lately...so I am going to post this before my wife can (yep I am a post thief)! Dinner made by my amazing wife was awesome! This meal was filling warm and full of love.

I will let her tell of what she did...if she wants. But I am constantly impressed at her. It takes a lot of work to do all she does and does it all with such grace and poise!

Thanks Kelly...I Love You so much!
