42. When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie. They are: Monday = Blue, Tuesday = Green, Thursday = Red   Friday = White and Saturday = Yellow. So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie; not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color Blue - Green - Red - White - Yellow , Monday through Saturday. Very easy to remember.

I haven't tried most of them yet. But if you have let me know if they work!

I got your message, altho I am not allowed to PM, only comment on others' blogs. :) Just wanted to let you know.

After reading over your post(s), I added you to my friends. Yes, I would love to be friends. Talking about your post, that is gross that so many of the things we consume can be used for cleaning, like the toothpaste, and the kool aid, maybe not the peanut butter - that is natural! But you gave a good list! Where'd you find it at?

So you are 12? And have goats.... got any chickens? Two horses, what kind are they? We had two horses, quarter horse and appaloosa (both 3/4 of each but the opposite on each horse. make any sense?) but we got rid of them because we couldn't ride them because they weren't trained enough.

But we have 7 Nubians, about 54 chickens, 2 dogs, and I have a rabbit, and we have two cats. We live on a small hobby farm in IN. I see you have your state as OK, where in OK do you live? We were in that state not too long ago, when we were on vacation. :) And how many acres do you have? And you sell your goats milk and make soap? We tried making soap, (Well Jocelyn did!) but it didn't work out well. I'd love to see some of yours! :)

Sorry if I am being nosy! I like finding that stuff out about a new friend. :)

Hope you'll stop by again at my blog and leave a comment. :) They would be happily received. :)

Love,
Rachel

Oh that's ok that you didn't comment sooner. I myself am pretty bad at getting comments back to people... :) Don't sweat it.

I am doing fine. I'm glad you enjoyed my blog. I have enjoyed yours so far. That's ok that you didn't know. You have to be told before you know! My Mother just doesn't think it's a good idea to PM people, unnecessary. But I've told you, so, it's ok. :)

All my friends seem to be younger than me. When is your birthday? Mine is in November, the 5th. Yes, I'm 14. Soon to be 15. Well, we did have seven goats a few days ago, but three of our goats kidded and now we have the same as you - 12! except, there are four bucklings and one little doeling. We were hoping for all girls, or the majority to be does. They are all so pretty though. :)

I wish we still had the horses, trained or untrained. I miss them. :( Even though I could never ride them. But everyone else was getting tired of feeding them and not being able to ride them. I had to stay in with the baby when they were taken to the new owner's house. :(

Yes we were in in June. Blanchard? I ahve never heard of the town before. :P I think we went by OK City... not sure. That is neat you are making all that stuff! I would love to have some homemade goat-soup and balm, or whatever else you make. :) I am hoping to milk the momma goats when they are able to be milked, and try *my* hand at making soap. Wanna give some of the recipes you use so I can get all the things I need? haha... and if I do succeed (and I am not saying I will!) I can send you some of it! That would be fun. :P

Sorry this comment is so long! I have this thing about writing a lot of LONG comments... if you need a shorter one, just tell me! LOL

Thanks for stopping by!
Many Blessings to you too Emily!
Love,
Rachel
