DianneS--had just logged on and saw your reply and your link at the bottom to your blog had me intrigued wondering what it was about. Got through the first page of posts and can't wait to go read the older ones--especially your visit to the Phillipines. I've seen a couple of posts on here and...

Haven't gotten much done lately. That headache turned into a five day bad dream! Finally went to the dr yesterday to make sure it wasn't something serious (yeah, I know, it took me five days? got a good chewing out from the nurse...:hide). With the stress of getting all this move organized...

Not a good day today. Have been fighting a horrible headache for a couple of days and it really socked it to me this morning. Used to suffer with them very frequently but have managed to get them mostly under control with the help of a chiropractor and also avoiding certain food dyes. Guess I...

So did you get wet? I don't like riding in the rain. A short gentle shower or slight drizzle I can handle if we get caught in it, but I won't start out in it. Our friends laugh at me 'cause they know I'm taking four wheels if it's cloudy! :hide

Yikes! That tarantula is huge. Hope I don't run into one in real life. I can handle little spiders, but that is terrifying!

Hope you are both feeling better today! But wow--you got a lot accomplished yesterday!

Oh my! That is serious! :/ Hope you get to feeling better soon!

I do feel better that we are not the only ones that make a mess during our "improvements"! :) Dawn, I have checked out your journal (not far into it I'm afraid, but I'll get there!) and I love the hoop idea for the chicken coop. I think that would be an excellent idea for our chickens when we...

Haven't posted in a while, but we have been busy and making some progress. I think things are about ready to come together and we will be able to move out to the "farm" sometime between Oct 15 and Nov 1. We will have a great deal of activity out there for the next couple of weeks as final...

How exciting to be getting so close! Hope things work out so you can be out there quickly!

My favorite holiday! And I just got out my menu the other day so I could start purchasing some of the groceries. No garden this year, but next year I hope some of the menu will be our own homegrown stuff! Turkey Stuffing Dressing (yes, there is a difference so we have them both when I can...

I am incredibly unmotivated today! Really need to be doing something useful around here, but so far all I have managed is sweep, do some dishes and get a couple of loads of laundry going. I did have to go out to the property this morning for a delivery (large trash dumpster!) but was back...

Wow--love your voice! So sorry to hear about the pup tho. Hope today is a better day for you!

Taking a day off today! We went to church this morning, I took a nap after lunch, now am making rice pudding and catching up on the computer! The week was busy and we got several things accomplished. Still a long way to go, but seeing the progress is interesting. The biggest thing is having...

Long day. Spent time cleaning a little bit out at the farm house and mostly answering questions for the person clearing the land and walking around looking at the stuff being cleared. He did a good job and will finish up tomorrow. it looks so much different! I am pleasantly surprised at how...

thanks! Not sure how many rats there might be or which method we will try but I appreciate the advice. I was initially thinking poison but wondered what other routes others had used successfully. Appreciate the help!

Okay, this isn't really a livestock question, but not sure where else to post this. What is the best way to get get rid of rats? Not sure how many we are dealing with, but we have seen one and I am sure there are others. They are under (and have at least at some point been inside) of an old...

Been a busy few days. We have gotten a bit more work done at the farm house, discovering that some things aren't as bad as we thought and some things are worse. All in all, it still looks pretty promising. Getting the land cleared today--I am excited about that. Getting ready to go out there...

I understand getting to the 3 year mark and not preparing to move. It feels weird when that has been your whole life! We have been in this house 8 years and I have pictures I never hung and boxes i didn't unpack too! I just tell myself I will get it done after this final move we are making...

Unfortunately, it does need new windows. Some of the wooden ones would be okay, but others are broken or in really bad shape. Not sure when we will actually get around to replacing them with all the other costs associated with moving, but we wanted to know what kind of $ we were looking at...
