I am back....

Alrighty... I am back! My last post was weeks before my silly body decided to have a stroke. Yep! I am ok! It was a mild stroke, but a full stroke nonetheless. So... I have been doing MUCH more "old school" type stuff in my life... basics! You know... like learning to walk, talk, write, and run. Kind of important no? (bwahahahaha)

I am excited to get back in the saddle again and continue my journey! *GRIN*

Thought I would post an update of sorts:
* Still LOVING our homemade dishwasher soap. Half homemade/Half Cascade. Pennies a wash. Excellent results.
* Almost out of bottled beef... watching for sales!
* Completely out of bottle chicken and butter! Next time butter drops below $3 again (Can you even believe it???) I will stock back up!
* We gave our chickens away. They started to eat their own eggs (*shudder*) We tried all the "remedies" and decided 1 egg a week not cracked open and eaten was not worth it. I was not strong enough to slaughter (dang... maybe next time! ;) ) so we gave them away. We have 8 new chickens and are anxiously awaiting our first egg.
* We are moving (long story) in the next few weeks, so I am trying out my vegetable  garden in pots. So far so good. I will post pics shortly.
* I have refinished a patio table that Suzie gave me. It looks LOVELY and all brand new! I just wish I had remembered before and after photos! dern.
* I will also be refinishing my kitchen table and a piano we were given in the next few months! Also I have more recipes to try and share!

And so! I am back! Let's keep exploring together!! *wink*
