(New State for list) Hello from South Carolina,
The sun is bright and warm here today, but the air has a little chill in it. It's currently 53 degrees, and predicted to be up to 60 degrees today.

Hello South Carolina!

Today is the day I dig out all the "recipes that use lots of eggs." Our daily egg counts are about double the yearly low point ... and I expect that to be creeping up a bit more. I intend to be prepared this time ... we'll see how that goes.

My Grandma was born In Colorado the last of 9 that lived. Her mom started having babies when she was about fourteen or fifteen. By the time Grandma was born Great Grandma was midwife for most of the county they lived in. My grandam was born in 1916 by the time she was born her oldest brother was off in the army.

They didnt have a phone or a car much less electricity.... So When It was time to deliver a baby the Postman would drive up and tell Great Grandma it was time. He must have had a phone or had the message given to him word of mouth. She would grab up her kit and leave with him. Great Grandma would be away for a couple of days.

Grandma tells the story about how she would cling to her moms leg begging her not to go.

That's a great story! My grandma has similar stories ... she was the last of the bunch, too, and was an aunt either shortly before or shortly after her birth. Her parents had homesteaded in a remote-ish area of Washington State. I love stories like that.

Welcome to the Front porch!

Thank you for the support on me going to get my degree in Midwifery! I didn't have any of mine with a midwife, but I really wish that I had. My 4th delivery was an absolute disaster, and I regret the whole ordeal! I love my daughter, but her birth was a nightmare! I want to help make sure that no one else has to go through that unnecessarily.

Mine were all a nightmare as well and I wish I had known more about midwives and such back then...it was before I became a nurse. To give you an idea of how bad they were..the last one was induced the same as the other two and ended up in an emergency C-section~and that was the best birthing I had out of the three. If I had to do it all over I'd find me a good midwife and do it in a home setting.

I sure am missing Bee on here. I hope everything is fine. Going to pray it is!

You are so sweet!!!

Just went to visit my dad and do the monthly righting of the wrongs done by the nursing home staff. This month wasn't too bad but bad enough. We had a great trip despite the icy roads and had a lovely, joyful time. Thank you for the prayers!

Yes, it certainly is quiet, isn't it. Just saying

Uh-huh. Caught ya.

Yep, we had it yesterday afternoon. I hoped it would calm down after dark but no. It was really roaring out there. On the way to church this morning, saw a very big tree that had been blown over and landed right on some guy's truck. Ugh!

Hello South Carolina!

Good idea Leslie, who has some good egg recipes?
My favorite is a spinach omelet casserole. It uses 1 dozen eggs and makes two 9X13 omelets. ...
1 dozen eggs
10 oz frozen spinach (thawed)
1/4 cup butter (melted)
1/2 lb grated cheddar
1/2 cup flour
Sometimes I add cottage cheese
Two 9x13 pans well greased
Bake at 350 for 20 to 30 min

Hello Bee,

The picture is Amelia, one of my 6 dominique mutts.

I've been reading your posts for a while now and have used a good many of those bits of wisdom.

Thank you!
