No problem!!!!!!!!!

Speaking of smoking wood, can you all tell what kind of wood you use? I have a hard time with oak and maple but can tell cedar and mesquite by a long shot. Many times I go to the old town villages for living history (like New Salem village, near Petersburg, IL), the smell of wood burning in...

BLT's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love beef and bacon! More than chicken. I am raising rabbits for meat consumption and hopefully it will make up for the fat content when I wrap it in bacon! I helped process a deer last year, it was a lot of work! I stocked my freezer for five deer and all ground up. By the time a year has...

I love catfish and thanks for telling us about the cookout! I would have been there on time too! I can not STAND being late....hubby don't like people telling him to hurry up and he get to be SLOW as molasses at time when driving to places. He likes to "grand stand", when you come in late...

AMEN!!!!!!!

Well I am nearly 50 and have a hard time getting around at times. Did too much going up and down the stairs to do laundry, busted up my knees a few years back, landed on it pretty hard as I was stepping off the sidewalk. Its a wonder it didn't cracked my kneecaps. Not long before that, I fell in...

Mine too, missing it for a good while!

Winter certainly was pretty brutal this year and cooler weather a bit later as well. Got some rabbits last year and was surprised how well they adapt to the ever changing weather we had, warm one day, then bam, freezing cold. Fishing was a bit better as I heard from fishermen around here...

Opa, just a brief note about your Welsummers.....they were from Calicowoods, Mr Harry Shaw Jr bought them from Channing Grisham himself. Isn't that great! So you have pure Grisham lines in your flock. Keep focused on the flock and don't cross it with anything else! I got that information from Mr...

I wear hearing aids all in my life....it gets time gettting used to every time I get new hearing aids or ear molds. I would love to get some new hearing aids! My Medicare and/or Medicaid won't pay..it is not covered. My aids are already reaching their max limit....they are nine years old. My...

Beautiful boat, Opa!!!

Yes family treasures are very hard to come by! I am very fortunate that I inherited mostly from my Dad's side of the family. A steamer's trunk, domed glass picture, handcrafted items. My hubby, not so much, everything was lost because his parents didn't value anything. If it does not contain...

I love to hear that te boys are doing so well! And Granny too!

Bonnie, I am so sorry about your husband as I read it from FB! At least you were taught well by him and having him as your support makes a world of difference! As for your Welsummers, with all the combination of lines and you are mainly getting to the goal of darker eggs. That is one of the...

Dang! I went out and bought Pepperridge Farms chocolate fudge cake..........heck I could make some with a few more purchases from the store!

Aren't fish cold blooded? I know comparing with my fishes in fish tanks are not the same as wild fishes but the guppies would die in that temps of water.

I often wondered about that too...where the fishies go when the water is frozen over....... I don't think the lake would totally freeze all the way down to the bottom of the water so I would imagine the fishes would lie there, in dormant state....must have antifreeze in their veins to keep...

Opa, did you get Granny out of the clouds? LOL!

My daughter and I LOVE to read books! However her handwriting skills are not that great. Now Mark Twain, it reminds me when we went to Pere Marquette State Park, near Alton, IL.....mentally noted to go visit Mark Twain's Hannibal, MO......never been there so I would like to know what to do there!
