Good evening everyone,
I think I'm all caught up! Goodness, everyone has been so busy.
Shannon, I don't know how you do it. I'm ready for a nap just reading about your life and everything you do. lol Glad the little one has her cast off!
Katie, glad all is healing as it should.
Marilyn, not sure what went wrong with your henhouse notification, perhaps unsubscribing and resubscribing would fix the problem. Let us know how your therapy works out. Are you still doing the essential oils?
Winnie, happy anniversary! Wow 38 years! Congrats! Do you have any trips planned?
Brenda, thank you for sharing photos of your trip.
Bonnie, enjoy your time in Texas. Lovely state.
Julie, good to see you. I know how this time can be so busy for you.
Connie, so sorry to read about everything and your MS flaring up. I do hope everything settles for you soon. Hugs!
Linda, cruisin' hey? Sounds wonderful! I've never been on a cruise. Not sure how I would like not being able to get off the ship for a while. The ocean is really big! lol Don't forget to show us pictures of your new tractor. I love tractors!
Sara, indeed it is a miracle that the flowers have taken root! Glad you are back at writing your mystery novel! You go girl!
Denise, how are those stairs coming along? You are a brave women!
Catch you all later! |

Carole, it is good to hear from you, glad you are catching up.
I got your card, thank you for it.
Sara's story is really good, I enjoy it every time she sends a chapter.
Have a good night everyone and a good week end.
If you don't hear from me over the week end, I am having some difficulty with my computer. I probably will be on my Ipad, not at easy but better than nothing.
Take care all
Love you all. |

Hello gals, I'm afraid I've fallen behind. We decided to do a few more craft shows before the season ends but I'm in the middle of an RSD flair so I have to work in between rests. Between that and keeping up with my swaps (I have a tendency to overextend, it's in my nature.)
Know that I think of all of you daily. My life has improved since having a bunch of ladies with like ideals and that means so much to me.
Linda - I'd love to see tractor and cruise pictures
Winnie - 38 years - Congratulations!
Carole - hope you are coping.
Julie - how was your harvest?

| Katie, we are still in it. We have about 300 acres of corn left. I am actually in a tractor right now hauling it to the semi's with the grain Cart. Thank goodness for good data plans. We will be done hopefully next week sometime if the weather cooperates. We had snow a few days ago and rain and snow in the forecast for the next few days. We will take part of tomorrow to bring cattle home. There water is freezing and we just don't have time to open water all the time right now, so the home pasture is best. Happy Anniversary Winnie! Have fun cruising Linda, I love all the shore excursions in different ports. Carole, what are you doing with your free time these days, if you have any yet. Good luck with your craft shows Katie, you have some cute stuff. Darlene I hope you get your computer oroblems figured out. Linda how is your projects going? Marilyn, are you able to get around more. Connie and Sherry we miss you. Whew, think that about covers everybody. Take care and know I think of you often. |

Carole,
I have pretty much given the stairs over to someone who can do it easier and faster than I can. We have a friend at church who is a contractor and I'm hoping we can get him to do them. He is fairly busy so we shall see when he can get us in. |

I bought a new herb & spice book and have already found an herb I haven't grown before - Cretan dittany - member of the oregano family. Have found a supplier on-line that has plants. I have ordered from Mountain Valley Growers before so come next Jan I will put in my order to be shipped in the spring. I love having something new to read up on and plan for the spring. Between now and Jan I will decide what other herb plants to add to the order. If my Mexican Oregano doesn't make it through the winter I will order another one. The one I have now came from MVG.
For you who are following my cozy mystery I hope to have chapter 7 out in a couple of days. |

Hi my sisters, I need you to keep me and hubby in your thoughts and prayers. He is going thru medical problems and we are sure why. He is very forgetful and his speech is a very difficult to understand at times. He is having several test and MRI,s. I sit with a lady only 3 times a week. The other I am getting him to appointments and the VA Hospital is 2 hours away. But today is a pretty good day. I am so concerned .
I am going to go back and read the post so I know what is going on with all of you. I did join the swap on here. Because it will lift my spirits.
Just want you to know how much you all mean to me.
And Happy Fall I just love this time of year. Hot cocoa is calling my name! lol

Hi everyone! Been busy around here, not that that is anything new! Been trying to get more freezer meals in the freezer, can more broth to make room for a butchered cow we should be getting next week, schooling the kids, crafting for Christmas, and preparing for Jenni. I've backed out of as many obligations as I can for the next couple months... Yesterday was my last day serving in nursery for awhile, as it has hit the point where the kids are just too "energized" to be safe. We are also trying to get a chicken coop built, so the chickens will have something warmer than their chicken tractors. We are already getting snow, so we are trying to boogie on that. We did get our garlic planted, so a least that is done until Spring/Summer ;) I organized my cold storage room a little the other day... we have over 100 quarts of chicken broth in there, all from this year, and I have another batch going right now. Don't think we will run out of that any time soon, lol. Thankfully I'm out of bones after today until I break apart more whole chickens... We also have venison, beef, and ham broth in there. Ironically, I think broth makes up the mass majority of my canning right now, but thankfully cold weather means more soups :) My tomatoes that I wrapped up in paper in boxes are doing wonderful!!! I'm pulling out about three dozen tomatoes every week right now, though I suspect that will soon be slowing down. We are eating quite a few and the rest are going in the freezer to make a big batch of spaghetti sauce. God has really blessed us this year! Speaking of this year - we have now been in this house for a year, this past weekend. It has been a good year... a hard one, but a really good one!
Carole - so glad you were able to stop in! Are things moving along more smoothly for you? I too received your card - many thanks!
Darlene - I understand that computers are part of the world today, but I have a love hate relationship with mine!!! Mine too is giving me issues!!! Hopefully yours is doing better now!
Katie - you are always so busy!!! Are you healing nicely now? Continuing to pray for you <3
Julie - so many acres!!!! You may have said this before, but is it family land? As in one of your or your hubby's ancestors farmed it? I love love love old farms!!! Dear friends of ours have a huge farm in MD... He passed away from cancer a few months ago (he was in his 90s!!!) and she is still living there. Sadly it doesn't look like any of the children want to farm the land :'( It will be so hard to see someone else owning the land! It was always theirs!!! As a child I use to go over there around this time of the year and bake and decorate doughnuts with them. Oh how I love that old farm house!!!
Denise - how neat that you know someone in your church who can help you with the stairs!!! God blesses us each with our own talents and I love when we get to use them to help each other <3
Sara - I have never heard of that herb! How exciting!!! I am hoping to increase the herbs I grow this year, but only time will tell :)
Marlee - Definitely keeping you and your hubby in my prayers!!! Please let us know any updates as you can <3
Marilyn - I've been trying to back read a little as I have time, and it looks like you fell and got seriously injured!!! Are you doing better? You've been on my heart a lot lately, but I didn't realize why!!! Praying for you dear friend <3
Linda - I don't know if you will be checking the internet much, but hoping you are having great fun on your cruise!!!
Winnie - Happy (all be it late) Anniversary!!! That is just lovely!!!
Alright I need to go scrub my dining room. Much love to you all <3 |

| Shannon, I don't know how you get everything done. You remind me of my aunt Tillie. She had 12 kids! She was so creative and talented. She took bias tape and ric rac along with printed fabrics and decorated her home as well as her cute little girls dresses. Most of her floral fabrics were from ladies dresses, the big full skirts. She played piano by ear, simply amazing. I remember one summer she was big pregnant (PG/that was the term used in the presence of us kids), she made a luscious chocolate fudge frosting for the chocolate cake she had just baked. (The next day she went to the hospital and had a new baby, spent one night and came home.)I was fascinated that she used cream skimmed from the milk that week and cooked it in an iron skillet! A few years later I was thirteen when she taught me the secret to great potato salad. |

Ladies you have all been so busy. You inspire me!
Marlee, I'm sorry for your husband's difficulties. Prayers for him as well as you. Prayers for safe travels to his doctors also!
My leg was doing better..or so I thought. The doctor did not say surgery, but sent me off to physical therapy. 12 trips to the pool. Yesterday was day #1! I never dreamed that an hour in a warm pool doing prescribed exercises could cause so much pain...much less leave me feeling like a limp dish rag. I stopped for barbeque on the way home so I would not have to cook. I think we will be eating crock pot suppers and or left overs for a few weeks on Mondays and Wednesdays until this gets easier. I don't usually wear the brace, unless I am going outside. Getting into and out of the car has been difficult, but yesterday was easier. The therapist said he is not sure that I won't still need surgery to sew the quad muscle back together. I am still using essential oils. I can walk, not perfectly, not without some pain...but I can walk. God is good.
Oh yes I still have no dentures! They got a new mold and I had a fitting last Friday. We shall see. |
