With 5 girls in the house there is lots of goofiness and dressing up, just one of the many pictures that get found on my camera...

We got 2 bins of beautiful apples from Creston B.C. and split it between 5-6 people for making LOTS of applesauce and cider... here was my share of applesauce cooling on the floor..
We had a beautiful fall to enjoy....along with some really cold weather in November!
Getting the pasture cleared of 80+ trees, we were hoping to get this seeded in the fall but we didnt get it disked in time, then we got snow...so we have got our work cut out for us this spring!!
Every month we deal with pile of Dutch Valley food to sort thru and package.. the kids moan and groan but i notice they are very eager taste- testers...so i turn a deaf ear.. aren't i cruel??
We've cleaned up our decorations from christmas, gained lots of snow in a few short hours, warmed up and we lost it all(the snow that is) had some almost 50 degree days, now its snowing again!! .....said good bye to Eli and Lydia Ann and Owen and Jenny, both going to Chile.....we're gearing up for spring here at the store, we rearranged our shelving and got produce in, we're getting Baker Creek Heirloom seeds in, in a few weeks; I'm getting new cupboards at my house and a new ceiling sometime this spring!!!!


Have a good week!!

    I'm at the library looking at these posts. While looking at your pictures,I had this zany urge to nudge my computer neighbor and say, Hey look, that's my brother! Fortunately, I caught myself in time. Proud of you Norv and Sharon.

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!

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...

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 ...
