Okay, Crew ... it's after midnight here and I'm all caught up for the moment. I'll catch you all tomorrow ... oops, I mean "Later today!"

My sister's a dairy farmer, and the farm has cheese, and now butter,made locally. I'm a cheese snob, but that stuff is GOOD! Between the cheese, butter, milk and the occasional retiree sent to freezer camp, we're in pretty good shape for groceries. Now, if we could only find a way to grow TP, I'd never have to go the grocery store again!

Believe it or not, there’s actually a lot of leaves you can use for TP!! You can grow plants with perfect leaves for it.

Wow ... we were all having an ice cream party and didn't even know it! We finished off DS' ice cream cake tonight. He hit the big 2-1 a few days ago - under quarantine, of course, poor kid! But we had fun - we had a dozen or so people on the front lawn singing Happy Birthday. One brought a bottle of wine. Another brought tiny plastic cups - and he walked from car to car with a tray so everyone could toast the Birthday Boy. Then we had drive-by honkings for two hours, It was AWESOME!

Awww that sounds amazing!!! I’ve seen a few of those drive by birthdays and they’re so neat!!! We didn’t do anything like that for mine or my moms (also under quarantine) but they’re such good ideas!!! Seen drive by graduation parties and stuff too haha

The cake sounds good!! I’ve never been big on ice cream cake but I bet it was tasty. I like cake and I like ice cream, just don’t usually like them together. maybe it’s cause the ones I’ve had have always been pretty fake tasting haha

I mixed a few flavors.

No no no not piggies! I want a foal, it's been too many years. With all due respect if a show barn equals work, you need to find another one! Unless I am just a freak of nature. I grew up in show barns, shown my entire adult life and ran/head trainer of a 44 stall show barn in Santa Barbara until the economy crapped out in 2008. Moved to Arizona to keep my horses. I habe a much smaller scale operation here, I miss the big barn.

See I'm not one of the ones showing my horse nor the head trainer. I'm the one that has to keep everything going and take care of the barn and horses.
You know all the non glamours behind the scenes actual work. Working 6 days a week, no holidays off, no weekends off, have to be responsible because no one else there has a lick of sense.
Geez I just realized how bad I do have it. Enough is enough. I'm taking my horse and going home...

No really I like it and there's a lot of freedoms other jobs don't provide but there is labor involved.

You don't fool me for a minute, Mr Grumpy -Butt! You know you loved it! Young ladies love horses like bees love honey, and I bet you didn't mind THAT much!

Nope. But she said she would come help me build my duck house.....and tame my wild quacklings.

Okay. Pictures or it didn't happen!

Birch Beer. Or Sapsarilla. It's where my love for the beverage began. Loaded baked potatoes too.

Later when I worked at The Olive Garden I fell in love with Zuppa Toscana soup. Yum!

You just never forget your first (food) love, do ya!

I used to go to OG specifically to get Zuppa Toscana. But I gotta say, the homemade copy is way, way tastier, and so easy to make.

I personally love the Minestrone and the Pasta Figouli (sp?)

Fading fast here, finally. Good night, fellow chicken tenders. Stay well! ❤
