I hate to break in on your puzzle page, but wanted to let you know, we are back in Michigan. We got here on Sunday, we had 4 inches of snow that night and 8 inches on Wednesday. We gave up all that Az. sunshine for this. We hope to move into Raybrook Estate 11 in about 6 weeks. We now must list our home here, as we already have our Az. place listed.We sure hope somthing sells soon. Actually, we are sort of enjoying the snow. of course it's a new experience for us, as we haven't seen snow in 20 years. Now back to the puzzle. -- Joyce and Chuck, Sat, Feb 09 2008, 5:43:14

- The big barn with the sign (SILVERDALE STOCK FARM) burned down in 1934 or 1935. A new much smaller barn was built on the same location and is still there. But it is nothing special compared to the orignal barn. My father did put a sign (SILVERDALE) on the new barn. (NT) -- Grant, Tue, Feb 05 2008, 18:54:39

Hi -- Bonnie, Thu, Oct 18 2007, 3:58:22
Wanted to say hello to everyone again. In my last post I mentioned that we were headed out west. We were supposed to go on a river rafting trip in Idaho. That piece of the trip was cancelled due to wild fires. We still had a great time though. I did meet up with Mike and Sue V. One night we went to dinner and then spent a Sunday high in the mountains at the best Octoberfest I have ever been to. It was fun seeing them again.

Tomorrow we will leave for my husband's 50th high school reunion in NJ. Soon after I will be leaving for the Miami Book Fair. We will stay and spend Thanksgiving there.

Life has been good. I have been enjoying all this free time.

Programming Note -- Thomas Vogel, Wed, Sep 19 2007, 15:32:55
For those who might be interested, I wanted to pass along a television programming note. Beginning this Sunday (Sept. 23)on PBS, Ken Burns, the documentary filmmaker, debuts his new documentary on WW II. Ken Burns is the highly acclaimed documentary filmmaker who also did documentaries on The Civil War; Baseball; and Jazz, just to name a few...

His new documentary is simply called: "The War". It is 14 hours long and it begins its run (with episode 1) this Sunday. You will have to check your local program guide to see when the remainder of the episodes will air? Based on his earlier work I am guessing it will be very good.

Talk to y'all later. Take care.

"Silverdale Stock Farm"... -- Thomas Vogel, Wed, Aug 29 2007, 12:33:29
Hello Troops,

I have a question for anyone that might have a possible answer?!

Grandpa John Vogel named the farm in South Dakota: "Silverdale Stock Farm". Does anyone have any idea where this name came from? Did Grandpa Vogel make it up? Did he get it from something else? Does it have a particular meaning?

If anyone has any information about this name - please let me know!

Talk to y'all later,

- Hi Thomas, This morning I asked my dad (Grant) what he remembered about the origin of the "Silverdale" farm name. He didn't have any memory about how or why Grampa John Vogel came up with it, My guess is that he probably thought the farm should have a name for business reasons and came up with a nice sounding name that people might remember. My dad says your father might know as he has a good memory for details. (NT) -- David, Sat, Sep 01 2007, 17:05:30
- I visited the farm as an infant and again just two years ago. I had always heard about the place and was very curious to see it for myself. The current owners were not at home when we visited, so we wandered around on our own. At last I have a real picture of the farm and surrounding area. I was surprised by the scarcity of people in the area--very few cars on the roads. I took pictures which you may have seen on "grantvogel.com" --David (NT) -- David, Sat, Sep 01 2007, 17:16:33

I have asked my Dad, your Dad, and Uncle Lefty, but no one is sure where the name came from. I saw your pictures from the farm in '05. Thanks for taking and posting those pix.

Ole died. So Lena went to the local paper to put in a notice in the obituaries.

The gentleman at the counter, after offering his condolences, asked Lena what she would like to say about Ole.
Lena replied, "You yust put 'Ole died'"
The gentleman, somewhat perplexed, said, "That's it? Just 'Ole died'? Surely, there must be something more you'd like to say about Ole. If it's money you're concerned about, the first five words are free. We must say something more."
So Lena pondered for a few minutes and finally said, "O.K. You put "Ole died. Boat for sale."

Hi everyone

Donna's message inspired me to respond since I havn't for some time. I do read them though. I enjoyed reading about that reunion that was so long ago. Thanks Nancy.

We left NC for about six weeks this winter and visited NZ, The Cook Islands and Tahati. It was quite a trip. Tahati was probably the most beautiful place that I have ever seen. NZ was for sure the most pleasant. Everyone should go there. We just returned from Colorado where we visited Amy. While there we walked the Bolder Boulder which is a 10K walk. 50 thousand people walked/ran it. It was great fun.

I wish I could attend the reunion this year but it is impossible. I enjoyed it so much last year---but there is always 2008.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Hi. It sure is quiet here. -- donna, Sun, Jun 03 2007, 8:33:51
