Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday!
I have enjoyed reading all of your Journals - I can only cruise through the posts at work for a while, so I cant always respond to them! Everyone is so industrious, I feel trapped here at work!
This weekend was productive in the house for us, as far as cleaning and organizing - We went on Saturday to Sacramento and picked up ALMOST enough of the Laminate flooring to finish the Living room and pet room. They should have more in stock next week, and we'll be done.
I got to clean and organize under the aquariums (Oscar and Leopard Gecko tanks) and the indoor Aviary - I keep my egg packing and canning equipment there, washed curtains, windows, shelves and walls too! Waiting to decorate for Christimas cause we had to move the Furniture around. My storage boxes are in the house though.
My Cuckoo Marans Pullets are Laying!!
The eggs are just Beautiful! Definitely a decent color, one is laying a speckled egg, I've never had a speckled egg layer! I'm so pleased with that!! My elder hen is laying again now too, first time since the trauma of having the coop blown over by the fierce wind we had last month!
I made one of the rice warmers as a gift for my son, need to make a couple more for others....dehydrated mangos and papayas for gifts also, now have some persimmons with me at work I'm taking home to try to dehydrate also. Going to make seasoned Walnuts for people, I have bags in the freezer that I need to get out and season/bake. I made my ornament for the exchange, but I need the hanger still, almost done.
I'm working on the Website for the Auto Repair shop Frankie works for, so I'm spending time on that in the evening, using templates and data input...I might do one for us as a family some day too, I have to check the availability of the domain I want. Talk about not trimming down our expenses? But if I'm going to sell stuff online, I want to do it on my own site, and not count on Ebay or others....so I need my own site/domain...justification??
The boys are doing awesome, outside playing together for reals, instead of trying to kill each other like they used to. It has been years of work, but they have finally learned to play in a safe way, for the most part, and not need to harm each other as soon as you're not looking - It was their inability to get along and their hazard to each others health that got them separated before we got them - they almost spent the rest of their lives apart....Not a single inflicted injury this weekend! Thats progress!! Or is that a miracle??
We FINALLY got Charles birth certificate!!!
We can get him Identification now, open a bank account he can use, really get him started on the path to adulthood!! He's going to be 18 in April and graduate high school in June 2009! And he had no birth certificate?? (His adoption was final in October 2007)...
Well, I'm on to other things........Ya'll take care.........I'll be checking in on everyone when I can.....
