I am sending prayers up right now. It also may help to know there is a very capable Grammy up there to care for him as I lost my Mom last week. She never got to spend quality time spoiling her grandkids due to health issues. But be reassured that she will be spoiling all of the little ones...

You guys are in the doghouse! Now I have spent the better part of a day reading this thread and want to run out and get all the ingredients. I also could totally see where this gets addicting. **running all the food smelling soap through my head**

Good Luck on your first day! I am still looking for a job 2 years later. But with Mom coming home on hospice, maybe being unemployed is a blessing in disguise!

I want to go TV free also, but alas, my hubby is the same as yours. He doesn't want to miss the football this fall. I actually love football also, but find myself sitting and watching other mindless things, when I could be getting something done.

Well I am not sue on the 4 months, but I we pick them up in the fall and take them and have them hulled (green out hull removed) and then put them in the garage until about December or so and let them dry. Dad also says this helps the nut meats to cure. I know that a nut meat right out of the...

Just like FF said see if the owner would entertain the idea of owner financing. Really hope this works out for you and always remember, God doesn't close a door without opening a window.

I bet selling them at the farmer's market would go over great. People would love the idea of being green and you are selling something with a large profit margin!

I have bee envy also. But not sure I could do the work around those buzzing critters. It is on my list to research though.

Well I made my dad some hunting pants for rabbit hunting. He wanted something that was slicky to keep the briars from snagging and scratching them. I cannot for the life of me remember the material but imagine coverall material with some sort of coating. You couldn't tear these things with...

"Pathogen causing air space" has me really concerned. I canned alot of peaches and got ALOT of float. Will these still be good or should I open the jars and try again. First time with peaches and I was winging it. I would apprecite your help an opinions on it!

I was thinking that a purging day sounded good for today. But alas (depending on which way you look at it), I have a ton of maters to work up. How is the weather down your way today. Very nice here with no humidity. Even had the windows open in the house last night.

Boy I wish I had a freezer. Other than the one that came with the fridge. I would love to plop all these tomatoes in the freezer and sauce them in the winter when I need the heat in the house! Sheila

Yeah, i'm with FF on this one. I have Tyson's about 50 miles from me, but I won't eat their chicken. Just tastes gross and probably is. Sheila

Hear me out when I say this..... Smoking may not be the evil cancer causer that everyone has made it out to be, but I think we all know it is bad for us. That said I am a smoker! My Mom was a smoker and if I could take a video of her last ten years of life so far, you might look towards...

21 quarts of peaches. Now to make peach honey from the juice. OFG can I borrow your white flag? Sheila
