How neat was that? You got to meet people and give a lesson! That sounds great to me!

I let the DS's take my Debt card to the store to get a few things. They lost it. I cancelled it and I didnt say anything ugly to them.

But boy did I want to...lol.

So, my gift was patience and understanding for them and avoiding a high BP moment for me. =/

Nice job, Camelot Farms. Staying calm and patient, in the face of storm, is hard to do but it's a wonderful gift!

Thanks, WriterofWords!

I gave away another doz. eggs yesterday to a neighbor family we're close to. It was a belated Valentines day gift because I didn't have enough eggs to make up a dozen for them, last Sunday.

My DH has been feeling ill & not sleeping well, with a residual cough left over from a cold he had recently. This weekend I've tried to help him get the rest he needs and tried to find ways to relieve his nasty cough.

Any news yet, rainplace? I've had my fingers crossed for you and am anxious to hear if you prevailed.

It's windy right now,, reallllly reallllly windy! We were leaving Wal Mart and buggy was blowing in the wind, running hard right for a nice car. Steven jumped out of the truck and chased and caught it before it hit the car and put it away.

Today I traded eggs for trout! I don't know if that is classified as giving but I know we got to have a fresh trout dinner

and one of my customers who likes to fish didn't have to pay for his eggs.

Damummis - thanks for the offer of seeds but I don't think you can send them through customs. I had wanted to participate in a seed trade and was told they didn't know all the rules for crossing the border so I'll decline so we don't get in trouble.

Isn't is nice to get rid of thingsthat you have no use for but you know still are useable? I did alot of that before we moved here. I used freecycle and always had someone coming or going. Sounds like you had a busy day cleaning, sorting, shopping, showing off your chickens . . . After all that you need to give yourself a relaxing time with wine and needlepoint. Good for you.


WriterofWords - that was very nice of you to go out of your way for the parent. I'm sure they really appreciated it, and it must have been tough not to say anything to the negative staff. You showed class!

Sounds like the new club should be a hit - so many neat things to learn and share.

debiraymond - giving time to a budding chef is important. I'm sure her family appreciates the help as well.

feathersnuggles - Giving eggs and free lessons! What a good neighbour!

Camelot Farms - Good for you for biting your tongue!

I can imagine how difficult THAT was no say nothing. And you're correct - much better for you in the long run too!

sonew123 - Giving people rides is great on several accounts - you're helping them plus the environment by carpooling!

Also having a sleepover so the mom could have some time to herself was very nice of you.
