    Your Grocery Bill

    I'm not sure if it's a state law, or federal, but here in MI if they ring you up for the wrong price on an item (and you catch it) and take the reciept to customer service, they have to give you 10 times the mistake back (it may be limited to $10 or something like that per item) I remembered...

    does anyone have a motion detector in their driveway?

    LOL punkin, that's so funny! We've considered getting some sort of motion sensor as well. But worried about the constant wildlife setting it off. Our house is a half mile up our driveway (through the woods) so we can't see anyone coming up our driveway, and usually can't hear them until...

    How much animal feed do you keep on hand??

    Hey, can I borrow those neighbors this winter? ;) I wish we could drive our quad on the side of the roads to go get out and about when we're snowed in! It would be nice to have a snowmobile at those times.

    How much animal feed do you keep on hand??

    What do you do with your brown paper bags?

    So what's the caramel corn recipe? My DH has talked about how his sisters used to make caramel corn in a brown paper bag in the microwave when he was younger, and he loved it. (he doesn't like my caramel corn) So I'd love the recipe/instructions if anyone has it!

    Harvest time... one of my favorites!

    Yes, this is my fav. time of year! And it does feel good to accomplish things that will help your family. I tend to do more work this time of year b/c the temps are cooler. I cant' stand heat, and roasting in the summer sun all day. Plus I get a little kick 'n the butt b/c I realize I...

    we have a gas stove, so we can still cook on that. We also cook on our grill (w/ side burner) I have cooked on a campfire in our yard, when we tore out our kitchen. Pie irons came in handy for that!
