Our Homestead: Moving Day!
Let me begin by saying that my dear hubby had said it would be great to get on the land by his dear departed Mom’s birthday. We got a call from our mobile home mover, on a certain day, that they could come move the trailer the very next day. After raining for almost two […]
Our Homestead: Getting things ready
We finally got an address to our property! It will be used for 911 purposes and for a mailing address. We had to wait on the rain to let up before we could get a PERC test and have a septic system put in. No city system out this far. We are about 12 miles […]
Our Homestead
As many of you know, we finally bought some property of our own. After living where I have lived for over 30 years, and paying someone lot rent, I am so ready to have a little piece of God’s great earth to call our own. The first picture is looking at the spot that we […]

I love fall and winter for so many reasons. Winter gives me permission to stay inside and enjoy the pleasures of quilting and crafting. It also leads me to the kitchen and tummy warming pleasures of soups and stews. I love the aroma wafting out of the kitchen as a stew simmers on the stove […]

End of year pantry decluttering
Earlier this year - right before we moved to our new home up north - I went through all the canned goods. Because, while they have a long shelf life, they do have a “best by” or “use by” date. I brought up all the canned stuff from the basement that had 2012 “use by” […]
