Bc thanks for sharing all the old new paper pics. Love em!

Ron our house has Jack's under it
It has to be leveled now and then or the front door won't open or close depending on which side needs to be adjusted

Cute bunnies Cap.

Diva now you got me wanting cake.

The Valley soil here is clay and our house foundation is a cement slab. The house still settles based on season. I had to use a wood plane to adjust the door openings so they would not stick. At the top one season and the bottom on another.

This old farm house was moved here.
It sits on concrete blocks that settle from rain and cold or heat. Our water bed slopes so the majority of the water is at the head of the bed and mostly on dh's side. So when I have to add water I roll down hill in the crack.

our grocery bill is usually around $100-$200

Mannnnnn when I read that it brought back the "good old days" when I was spending about that per month, and with 4 kids. My mind was screaming "how can that be so"?! Then saw you meant per week... I just shop for me now and seems like I can't get out the doors at wally world, without spending that per week.

Your place sounds like an adventure!

Do you get seasick from the waterbed waves?

@Beer can fun posts! Great old time reading!

@CapricornFarm cute baby buns! The moms don't get mad when you mess with the babies?

Panther does get mad but i put her in a carrier while i pick them up. The other one has a nest box in the condo that i just take out and go in the barn while i hold them. Good question!

Al, i wish i could make you a cake. Wishing you the happiest birthday ever!

Hey, I hear ya, @Latestarter. DH and I eat pretty sensibly. Not a lot of junk food although we do like our low fat ice cream and 'nilla wafers. Our food bill still averages out to 80-100 dollars a week. I remember when mom would feed a family of four, with two growing children on 35-40 dollars a week.

She would send me to the local store on my bike to buy milk and bread. She would give me 75 cents. I can still remember the milk and loaf of bread costing 69 cents. She would let me keep the change. 6 cents back in the early 60s was big money!

Now a loaf of bread here is about 1.59 and milk 2.19.

Let's face it guys, the good old days are long gone.
