    What's for dinner?

    Back in the 70's I worked in a little country store in our little rural town. There was still a meat counter where we had those big rolls of bologna, blocks of cheese, and fully cooked summer sausage. We had a big ol' slicer that would sure take off your fingers if you weren't careful. I...

    What's for dinner?

    Every time we went camping when I was a child we had fried spam, potatoes and onions. Cooked in cast iron skillet, over an open flame - nothing better! I occasionally still crave it and when I do - I have it. Also had lots of fried bologna back in the day - couldn't afford bacon. Mom would...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Working on the first cup of coffee. Kind of a rough morning. Grandson is leaving for basic training today. I knew he'd grow up and go out on his own someday, but this is rough...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Oh he// no! I ain't no quitter, lol. I'm down 21 lbs since starting in October and I'm not quitting until I shed a bit more. Been increasing the physical stuff too. Feeling stronger and adding in more strength building work. Ok - coffee number one is being inhaled while contemplating...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Every one of my does this season has delivered at least a few days early. Most years breeding dates lead to predictable deliveries - this year all bets are off!

    Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

    Didn't work on the water line at all today. We have a service contract with a septic company to do quarterly inspections. Today was the day. Usually, it's not a big deal at all, but everything they needed to check was covered with ant mounds. I got the weed whacker and cleaned 'em up a...

    I need to try again with the cilantro. We have to eat low carb so a turnip is a good potato wannabe, lol! Rutabagas too.

    Official SS Poll: What’s Your Favorite Cold-Weather Comfort Habit?

    Best thing ever - my heated mattress pad! Other cold weather comforters: cozy thick sock slippers and hot tea! I'm a coffee in the morning person, but evenings are for enjoying a hot cup of green tea made even better if it's cold outside.

    Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

    Found a problem while digging out the valve. There are two lines that run close to each other. One is the water line with the shut off valve. The other line is a pvc pipe that has electrical wire that feeds the barn running through it. Somehow one or both have shifted closer to each other...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Slept well last night. Coffee is great. First cup has been inhaled and about to start the second. That's the one I'll savor slowly! Watching the depressing news... Think I'll turn it off and go outside and hug a goat.
