Do you know what a Pogo is?

  This past week, we had a school group from Canada come to the maze, and we had the hot food concessions open for them to eat lunch.
    I was taking orders, and I'm pretty sure all these K-3rd graders thought I was the most uneducated American they've ever met! Several kids asked for a Pogo, and I was just like . . . "We don't sell Pogo's . . ." And this whole time I'm thinking . . . "WHAT is a Pogo?!?!?"

   One of the kids came up and ordered Nachos and a Pogo . . . well, I misheard him, and thought he was saying, he wanted Nachos, and his NAME was Pogo. So, I wrote his name on the order slip, and charged him for the Nachos. When the order was ready, J. took my order slip and called for "Pogo". We got a few looks for hanging out the window yelling "Pogo!" while holding a nachos, but the right boy got his order, and a few minutes later, he came back asking for his Pogo. I told him, "I'm sorry, we don't have any Pogos," and explained that I'd just charged him for the nachos. The kid got a hotdog instead.
   When he left, we finally got a break, and I grabbed my phone and typed in, "What is a Canadian Pogo?"

   Do any of you know what a Pogo is?

Well, according to my phone, Pogo, is what the Canadians call a corn dog! We had a good laugh at our ignorance, and learned something new. If you knew what a Pogo was before reading this, congratulations! You can laugh at my ignorance! :) If not, now you know, and you don't have to act dumb if someone asks for a Pogo! :) :)

Corn Maze Season

The leaves are turning and we've had frost, so fall is officially in full swing, and so is the corn maze. It's our 11th year of the maze and it's fun to see how things change each year. I have an odd assortment of random fall and maze pictures to share in no particular order . . .


This year, with Hosanna gone, I'm in charge of the concessions. It's been a lot of fun having a larger food area this year so we have an expanded menu!



And since the gift shop had to close this year, I've had a few people ask about my books . . . and YES, they are still available! :)


I love this picture of my nephew playing carpet ball!


And with the expanded food, I've needed full time help!


If you come to the maze on a busy day, like this past Saturday, you might run into our Pumpkin Princess, who goes around and gives out candied pumpkins!


Back to fall decor, every fall, we get out all the family hunting trophies to get us in the mood for hunting season. 


This year, the escape room, has three different levels, each level is ten minutes, and it goes along with out logging theme.


I love this shelf! I don't care what time of year it is, the decor on this shelf is usually always my favorite.


And with all the great help at the maze, we get some excitement!


And a lot of hard work done!

On another note, you may remember that last September, I started a read through the Bible chronologically in a year program, and just finished that this morning! I'll probably take a few days to read through a few places again, and then I'd like to start another scheduled program. What do you do for your devotions? Do you have a system of reading through the Bible?

Corn Maze Update

So, I've been super busy with the corn maze and everything, and didn't get time to put together the maze post that I was planning for this week, but things are going well!
   I was looking back at the posts I did during the corn maze last year, and re-read this article . . . it's something to remember! http://priscillakrahn.blogspot.com/2018/10/flying-in-cloud.html
