I know, Cappy, I know! :) Gardening was my go-to therapy when my brother died. It was all I wanted to do for months. Dig in the dirt, pull weeds, plant things, watch them grow. There is something magical about gardening; it really does help to heal a broken heart.

Guess it's just that circle of life thing, eh?

I'm gonna jump in the shower, wash my smelly self, and go over my sister's and hang with her and the baby. Babies are great therapy too. :) :love:love

See y'all later, my good peeps. Love ya's.

Have a super day!:hugs
 
My sister has a little one (16 months) who is quite the chatter box. She has always love pictures and videos of the chickens. My sister refers to food chicken as poultry. So far little stinker is refusing to eat any meat and telling me a story says how lunch was “sans poultry.” In the background in a tiny voice— “poultry”
Kid is gonna kill me.

My son is going on 22 months and he says Mommy, Dada, Mommom, Nana (banana), Kiki (kitty), nose, cheese, please. He understands a WHOLE lot more though and he uses some baby sign language as well.

I check and I don't think you're in my family. I was SHOCKED that not a single person on the matched list of 1083 people have any of the surnames of my grandparents. It's very odd. My cousin is on there and through him I'm able to know that certain people are from my dad's side of the family. My aunt said she has a kit sitting at home so I'll be able to definitively say that the others are through my mom's family. Even more strange is that my results show I have .1% native american which my mom said my gma claimed she had native american ancestors. Since her father's parents were both from Italy that leaves her mom's side of the family. Of course since we only get 1/2 from each parent it's possible that my cousin just didn't get the native american part from his mom, or she from her father (her mom's parents were also both from italy). So basically it just raised more questions than it had answers too.


I see why things like that would be a secret, but it seems odd that the adults didn't consider that the kids knowing their parentage would be helpful. I'm sure it's a difficult subject, but to find out later that you'd been lied to you entire life about who you are would be hard for some.


Um.. ouch.


I made the gooey butter cakes using the Paula Deen recipe for a bake sale. I used a cookie sheet, not a baking pan and cut them in about 1 1/2" squares (some were a little bigger). I added all the ingredients then divided the price per square and then figured out how much it cost me to make, then rounded. I never count things that I already have like eggs and vanilla, unless I'm making a lot and use most of a bottle.
So based on this recipe: https://www.pauladeen.com/recipe/original-gooey-butter-cake/
I'd estimate it'd cost me about $6 to make. so if each tray made 30 bars it'd cost me $.20 per bar. I suggest putting 2-3 bars in a ziptop bag & sell it for $1. People are way more likely to pick up a couple $1 items than something that costs $5. I've also made whole cheesecake pies and typically start them at $10, then mark down throughout the day. It costs me $5 to make them so that's the lowest I'll go w/ marking them down. I only make 3-4 & they do sell eventually, but keeping them cold is an issue. Other things that seemed to sell fast were chocolate peanut butter bars, 7 layer bars, and chocolate dipped pretzel sticks.
Good luck! I hope you sell lots of stuff.

I did DNA testing on ancestory.com My grandmother's grandmother was full blooded Cherokee. Yet according to the testing I have no Native american in my dna?

Hi guys! Been quiet on here lately...sometimes get in moods where I don't have much to say. Been kinda in a funk missing my mom, not working much, having too much free time on my hands!

It'll pass. The weather's getting nice and that always puts me in a happier mood. I am so tuned in to the weather--definitely have SAD!--when it's grey and gloomy and rainy I get gloomy and depressed. Today is a beautiful springlike day, the birds are singing, it's sunny, and the air smells good!

I hope everyone's doing well. My little babies are growing so big (for seramas and BC) They are the sweetest things ever; my heart just melts when I hold them, or look at their little round eyes and heads. I am just in love with seramas, there is something about them!

I'll post pics when I get some good ones. It's hard bc they are always in motion!
Love you guys. TTYL! I'm gonna go outside and commune with my chooks, lol.

Now that you have your DNA profile, you can add it to other databases. There are some with a lot more people in it.

The problem is relatives not taking the test. My Fathers side of the family has more taking the test then my Mothers. The closes I get on 23&me is second cousins.

GUYS!!! ABANDONED GOOSE EGG ALERT

ruby How are your goose eggs doing?


We were doing gym outside(It's a beautiful day, btw) and somebody found a goose egg! It was frigid, and there was no goose or nest! Even if there was a goose, it's long gone. They didn;t know where the egg was found. I said I could incubate it, so I now hae a goose egg! Any tips on incubation??? I candled it. No development, and a very small air cell(in between the size of a silver doller/quarter)
