Spook, I haven't been on in over a year. I lost my beloved husband, Doug, July 4th 2014. I don't know if you still follow this post but I had to respond. When my Mom died you sent me some really comforting words. I wish I had words to comfort you. He has been gone two years and while I have to...
I don't know where my time goes. Since I was last on I have been blessed in many ways. I was ordained as a deacon in my church. I am so glad to have my church family. I have a couple that needed a place to put a temporary cabin while they get there life together. I am renting them the top lot on...
Oh Em, I just came on here tonight for the first time in over a year. I am so sorry to hear about Terry. The good news is he sounds like he might make a good recovery. Bad news, our medical system will bleed you dry. Prayers for all of you.
Bee!
I haven't been on in over a year. It is so good to find you again. I got my first hive this spring. Bees are easier than cattle for sure! I will definitely be visiting this thread often. I have a great mentor but he is really busy this time of year. I know I can get good advice here. I am...
Hi All!
It has probably been more than a year since I have visited. Glad to see some old friends are still around. I am still on my farm in Ohio. I have leased some land on the upper part of my property to a couple who help me with some of the chores. We did 30 meat birds together. The last will...
Yay Katie. The quilt looks great. You guys are making me want to do some quilting; Tried it once years ago. Got the top done and never did anything with it. Got too busy with kids, etc. I have 3 sewing machines and a serger that I inherited from my Mom who was a seamstress until her eyes gave...
Oes, It is very frustrating and upsetting working with these kind of people. The older I get the younger the "experts" seem. I don't have any real answers for your dilemma, but my prayers are with you to find a solution. You must worry so much about how others will care for him when you have...
Maybe we could meet up somewhere. I would love to go. Are you going to be showing birds? If you are going I will PM you with my contact info. Do you stay for the whole weekend?
Thanks everyone, It is just one day at a time. I am trying to manage 30 acres, 2 highland heifers, assorted other critters. I think the heifers will have to go. Help is hard to find.
.Spook, I make killer brownies. I've been making them since I was about 7 years old, and that is a really long...
I haven't been on this thread in a long time. This must be "homecoming week" Spook, Em glad you are back. I will be checking in more often now. My husband died in July and it has taken me some time to get back into things. You guys make me laugh and make my life lighter.
What wonderful news. I will keep her in my prayers that the news continues to be good and she has many years of "almost normal" tests. Remission would be perfect, but this is very good. I have often wondered how she was doing, but I don't get on here much anymore.
guess I like canning better because we are prone to long power outages here in the winter. If it is canned I won't lose it. I am thinking of canning some meat I have in the freezer, especially some chicken for the same reason. I bought a pressure canner last year and never used it. I think I am...
You add the spices when you start to cook it. Everything goes in at once. I always have to cook mine a little longer without the lid to get it as thick as I like it. It does thicken a little as it cools. I made some this morning and it still isn't quite where I want it. I am going to leave it in...
