i dont know about us, we cant have an indoor wood burner if we would need heat but I imagine we could rig something up if we had to. No gas reserves but I think car pooling amoung a couple neighbors would be possible. I have food stored for maybe 2 weeks, can cook with wood as we do have a...

we are in the process of getting snowed it, scalloped potatoes with little smokies in the crockpot sounds good.

just wanted to add since I was thinking, I dont know how big your farm is but when we needed something big on the farm its purchase usually coincided with a sale, of corn, grain, hogs, an old tractor. Once he bartered for a piece of machinery with the guy who sells it in exchange he would...

my dad once told my son he wished his dad would have hit him up side the head with a hammer when he said he wanted to be a farmer. Its tough, never a profit but as an adult Im glad I grew up on that farm with the freedom and the responsibility. One of the things my dad does with machinery is...

when i lived in town last, my youngest was only 3 and older son at grams when it snowed several inches. I heard shoveling and low and behold there was a gentleman outside shoveling my car out. He had shoveled for the older man across the street he told him I had a small child so he came to do...

thats why I want to go next year, 1 more deer to freeze.

He's 17, my dad started counting the days till he could hunt when he was born. Us girls didnt go out but I want to next year. He goes for archery too but with harvesting on the farm he didnt get out much this year. He's always been a natural especially with the bow. My dad had a big second...

My son finally got a deer today. He got a doe, still has his antlered tag to go. Ohhhh, roast, chops, tips, bologna......:drool I told him the other week I said a little prayer when I bought ground beef....I hate buying beef at the grocery store.

is that really alot different if you convert to us$?

I had 30 cents off each gallon from my grocery store and filled my Minivan for $25 last week. 6 months ago $25 would get me not even 1/4 tank.

I never find much of anything, ours is in a college town and Goodwill is over priced.

my dads friend works in construction and said he would build us one if I bought the wood. My cousin works at the lumber yard so he bought it with his discount and we paid him. The wood has sat in my driveway for several months now....:barnie

my son is on his way now with some 2x4's he scored while scraping an old trailer. He wanted to sell them till I reminded him he wants turkeys in the spring and I am NOT making the pen.

my 6 year old was sleeping on the couch last night, on his side facing out. Our beagle, who is more than happy usually to take his abuse, jumped up and spooned herself right in front of him. I wish i had a picture but I knew I couldnt get up. I said to my older son, that was unconditional love.

my son had a dish at Ruby Tuesday like chicken parm but different, Ive adapted it for at home. you put a little sauce on the plate, then noodles (penne works well) then chicken (Ive even used chicken nuggets) then I make a parmesan cream sauce and put on top. Its soooo good. I made it twice...

meatloaf, been in the crockpot all afternoon, my awesome baked corn and mashed potatoes.

Dear Santa, for Christmas I want....... :plbb

my mom has one of these and uses it all the time. I have a 30 year old Kenmore that I bought when I worked in their repair center for $25 when someone didnt pick it up after having it cleaned. it works good but I would like a newer one thats a little less manual.

i put plastic on the back windows on our porch where my son plays. Well he discovered it and not only took it down but somehow broke one of the windows :barnie totally defeated that purpose

i dont know if you would call it a tool but my grandmothers canning jars, some of them belonged to my greatgrandmother. I used to have one of her box graters too but it got squished moving.
