Glenn, Being your mother's recipe makes it even more special. Thanks so much for sharing!! Anymore special recipes you'd like to share would be greatly appreciated by me and my gang. I have to add, after seeing the mix in the pan prior to baking ...

Tami, It's not my recipe but one submitted by Denise last November the 'Extra Pepperoni Pizza Chili'. It was a real hit with my family. Also if you're looking for a dessert - the "Raw Apple Cake" was a hit as well. My family loved them both. Be...
Looks good. I have one to throw out to all you "chefs". I am a party planner and just got hired to do a Christmas Party. The theme of this party is to be "A Snowball Fight". I figured something like homemade soups. But that can't be all. So if you...

Holiday Recipe Exchange - Log Home style

Ok, so it's not exactly log home related, but who doesn't like to eat—especially around the holidays, right? A few months ago, we created a Community recipe exchange in our Just For Fun forum. A few people posted, but we kind of let it die off. Now that the holiday season is upon us, member Glenn V has rekindled my enthusiasm by sharing his mother's recipe for Delicious Raw Apple Cake. Sounds perfect for Thanksgiving, and I can't wait to try it. Check it out and post your own culinary concoction… Continue

Nothing stops the log home faithful-Not even Hurricane Ike

Forget the postal carrier's creed of rain, sleet, snow... whatever. When it comes to braving the weather no matter what Mother Nature can dish out, nothing beats the log home faithful. And I witnessed it first hand at our Log & Timber Home Show in Louisville, Kentucky, a little more than a week ago. On Sunday, the last day of the 3-day event, Hurricane Ike came barreling through the Midwest, making a beeline for Louisville. And yes, when… Continue

Golden Eagle Log Homes helps sponsor a charity event for those affected by cancer

I recently received this press release about how Golden Eagle Log Homes donated its showcase home for a charity event to help ease the burden of those affected by cancer. It does my heart good to know that we're involved with such a thoughtful industry, so I had to share. I hope anyone who's in the Wisconsin region (or those willing to travel for an excellent cause) is able to attend. - Donna

All-American Fun

I just traveled back in time. At least it felt like it. My husband, daughter and I just returned from an extended 4th of July weekend at his aunt and uncle's lakeside vacation house at Indian Lake, Ohio. On the 4th itself, 14 of us gathered for an old-fashioned family picnic, where we chowed down on burgers and watermelon, played lawn games (I learned the art of "cornhole"--a beanbag-toss game that's all the rage… Continue

Donna,
I attended a log home show and seminar at Valley Forge this year. At the seminar, a work book was given out as a reference (2007 edition). There were links to Free online resources that no longer appear active. I am very interested in the cost estimating worksheet. Can you assist me in finding this information? Thanks, Chris Yaletchko

hi donna my name is John Jacobs native from Harrison Ohio and I read your article in log home design. I'm a rustic artist and enjoy making unique end tables, benches, coffee table etc. I have been fascinated with log homes since I was a teenager and have 5 acre in Okeana Ohio. My wife and I plan to build in due time! would like to chat sometime!

I wanted to let you know I really enjoyed the 2009 annual buyer's guide especially the design your home article with the room by room rundown. I learned a few things,thank you, but now I have to wait for the next issue. Ever think of making the magazine by weekly??? grinning, I do read the magazines more than once. I got a storage tupper ware type box with dividers in to clip articles and pictures out of magazines for designing help on our log home.
