another Saturday gone!

We had to run the store today,all of us were in today! Some days the little's are at Grandma's or home with me while Norv runs the front...its always a challenge to keep everybody busy and happy and stay out of the way. Today they took legos along and found some rubber band guns that I had got in ,you can imagine the rubberbands everywhere! They got sent outside for a while to burn some energy and then clean up their mess...

Seems like everyone is getting their Christmas shopping done, the store was busy! We've got an interesting shopping evening coming up next saturday! A lot of businesses in BF are gonna stay open till 9:00 pm to draw holiday shoppers and promote shopping local so we're joining 'em! We have some gift baskets to give away and samples of our food and some sales so if your in the area stop in!

We are going to Newport tomorrow for church, we're supposed to get more snow which will be nice except for traveling... We got rain on our beautiful foot of snow the other day and talk about a slushy mess especially on our driveway that was packed down not plowed! Now we have icy ruts! Cody went skiing with the high school and youth boys yesterday and had some nice powder up on Schweitzer! Its been years since we went so I'm hoping we can go night skiing with the kids. They have a tubing hill too.

Have a good week everybody! gotta go clean up my house and then relax!

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

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
