He got my goat.....




Since last November we've had two baby goats born to "Jennie" , a pygmy we got from Nelson and Donna years ago. They have been roaming as they please around this land and now that my garden is in , the last thing I need are goats in there,so we decided we need to get rid of them 'cause we didn't have a pen big enough for three...

So we are down to two goats now as of Thurs. night...a guy stopped by the store ,heard we had a goat to give away, so Norv took "Lucky" to a goat farm just north of here. This old couple has a hobby farm and Lucky joined about 20 + other goats there!

Julianna is playing with the newest baby .....baby and mom roam the yard freely and last week I discovered some of the leaves on my plants were chewed off, so they are banned to their pen..
this little guy is more sociable than the other one was, he'll jump up on the kids backs, dancing around and just being cute! too bad they don't stay that way...









..took this at church this morning. April found these little sundresses at Walmart and bought one for Ellie too!

    Wow! even baby goats are cute. I was wondering, why are babies of all species so cute and wonderful? And why do the older folks of all species lose so much of their cute charm? Hmmm... Anyways, I think Livey and Ellie will stay pretty cute. Shilah, as cute as ever...

I’m Back!

 I’ve been thinking the last few weeks of this poor forsaken blog, so I looked up the other day and it was actually 2012 that I quit. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then and our family has grown and there’s been lots of changes and a wedding and a daughter-in-law and grandbaby coming and now we’re having another wedding In a few weeks! Wow , you never know what will happen in six more years! I thought about trying to catch up over our lives the last few years, but most of you already know What all we’ve been up to so I’m not gonna try! I’m just going to start where we are now! This is going to be a year to remember for sure! 2018, Who would’ve thought, that we would be facing cancer, looking forward to being grandparents, having a 19-year-old daughter getting married, another daughter dating!  It’s almost mind-boggling, but I am reminded  that when I started this blog and I was a busy younger mother with six little kids, that I literally took one day at a time and

The pros of owning a bulk food store!

  ...trying out a Himalayan Pink Salt block from a customer! "would I carry this, please"? (Do I crush it or just pass it around the table?) :) .....i take all the produce home that get bumped and briused. Onions get chopped and frozen, which I love having on hand ,just don't like too many at a time! ....grabbing baking stuff off the shelves,including many items I normally wouldn't get, like mini m&m bits! Funny tho', my spices containers are emptier than ever, I forget to pick them up 'cause I don't have a grocery list anymore! ....farm fresh eggs from local farmers! ....i get to test out the latest kitchen gadgets,including the broken stuff! ....meat and cheese ends from the deli, they make wonderful snacks when having  friends over!

Kitchen Remodel...

This was the beginning of a terrible messy job of remodeling our kitchen. Norv and John Schlabach did the work of ripping off the ceiling and putting a new one on, insulating the new part (Samantha did that, crawling around up there) and then installing new cabinets. But before that could be done , they had to move the window, put drywall mud on the walls to cover up and blend together all the different wall coverings, rip out old cupboards, move the water lines for the dishwasher and new sink.... and this was all done in 5 days! This was open to the outside for a few days, so we stayed at Norv's folks while this was being done... see the original trailer roof shape? Here is the finished product! I got my curtains hung and the only thing missing is the microwave hood that may never be! I'd like to actually put a shelf in it's place. Looking toward the living room from the island...I love my shelf that just happened to appear after the ceiling got ripped off, the end
