And here's another wonderful thing you can do with an egg....
If you have a cut that should be stitched but can't for some reason... crack an egg, peel the membrane from the inside of the egg shell and apply it as a bandage pulling the skin together. When my parents were first married (in the 1940s) my dad got cut over one eye and refused to see a doctor. So mom, being a good country girl, applied the egg membrane and it healed beautifully. I've always thought that was So Cool.

oo I didnt know about that one... Thanks

I've been calling my group of five Belgians the Teeny Ones for a long time (Marmalade is special; she is not lumped in with them). I can only tell one of them apart because she's got frosted tail feathers. Her name is Peanut because I caught her eating a packing peanut in the garage one day. I'm thinking I need to put some colored leg bands on the others so I can tell them apart/name them. They will be...the Mixed Nuts! Already have Peanut (yes, I know it's a legume), but there's still room for Walnut, Chestnut, Hazelnut, and Brazil nut. I was running out of -nuts with that last one.

Well, I get to start wearing my big girl underwear tomorrow, I'm turning 30

Congratulations. Now no one will trust you under 18 you old lady you. Mine was today. For the next year I get to sing this to my DH as today I turned 43 for the 20th time.

When I get older, losing my hair, many years from now Will you still be sending me a valentine, birthday greetings, bottle of wine? If I'd been out 'til quarter to three, would you lock the door? Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I'm sixty-four?
You'll be older too Ah, and if you say the word, I could stay with you
I could be handy, mending a fuse when your lights have gone You can knit a sweater by the fireside, Sunday mornings, go for a ride Doing the garden, digging the weeds, who could ask for more? Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I'm sixty-four?
Every summer we can rent a cottage In the Isle of Wight if it's not to, dear We shall scrimp and save Ah, grandchildren on your knee, Vera, Chuck and Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line stating point of view Indicate precisely what you mean to say, yours sincerely wasting away Give me your answer, fill in a form, mine forever more Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I'm sixty-four?

I used to breed Rottweilers and I named my pups after trees. Aspen, Butternut, Chestnut to name a few. I am struggling to figure out names for my 12 silkies. Maybe I will name them after flowers. They are so precious and docile.

I have been off line a few days, no way I am catching up. If Chicken Little came by be sure to let me know.
