Our Lady's Windy Acres

I Needed More Than a Week

Well, today is Monday, so let's see how well I did on my goals list!

# 1- Get all of the laundry done - all of it!

Okay, not all of it, but A LOT of it.  Thank you Olivia and Heather!!

# 2- Organize all of those clean clothes.

Hmm, well, at least we started organizing them.

# 3- Prepare for the next six weeks of school.

Did I mean part of the six weeks or all of them?

# 4- Do an all around house clean-up.

Okay, I really did an all around house clean-up.

You just can't tell it now.

# 5- Finish reconstructing my website.  http://candyfoote.com/

Yeah, I did a lot on my website.

I am adding more daily!

# 6- Discipline myself to blog daily.  Well, hopefully daily.

Hey, at least I am blogging more than I was.

# 7- Keep working on my next three books!

I forgot how much work it is to write a book.

# 8 - Can tomatoes.

Sorry, tomatoes, I couldn't find time for you.

# 9- Freeze peppers.

I never froze any peppers, but we ate a lot of them.

# 10- Wrap and freeze about 300 pounds of beef from the bull that we just had butchered.

We ended up getting 400 pounds of beef!

I guess you know what the menu will look like all month.

Now add in my grandson getting an infection and being put into the hospital.

Plus, attending an aunt's funeral .

All and all, I think it was a successful week "off".

Thanks For the Prayers

Gabriel is coming home!!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of the prayers!!

Pray Please

My daughter, Jaimie is at the hospital with her little baby.

He will be four weeks old tomorrow.

Well, when she went to change his diaper yesterday, she noticed a bump that resembled a boil on his bottom

It burst open and drained quite a bit of poison.

She rushed over to the hospital, and they kept him over night.

They are keeping him tonight also.

They aren't sure what is going on, but they want to get rid of the infection that is in it.

They even put him on IVs!

The poor little guy.

Not to mention, poor momma.

Please keep Jaimie and Gabriel in your prayers.

I'm sure Jaimie will be updating everyone when they make it home.

Be sure to check out her blog at http://www.homesteadblogger.com/JaimieBesaw/

Selling Used Books

Boy, do I ever need some help.

We are moving to Alaska.  That's the good news.

My New York home is overrun with books.  That's the problem.

I have decided to list them on my website http://candyfoote.com/ 

That could take me a while!!!

Well, I have managed to put a few of them on it.

It seems to take quite a bit of time.

I have included shipping and handling in the listed prices.  Not one item is more than $5.00.

Please, please, please check it out!

If you don't see something you are interested in, then check back another day.

It will take me quite awhile to list all of these books.

I really can't take all of these books to Alaska with me.

Thanks,

Candy

Pictures!!

Still Working on Those Goals

It sure is a good thing that I have an entire week to work on this goals list! 

Olivia, Heather, and I have been steadily working on the laundry.  "Mount Never Rest" as some people call it.

No organization of the clean clothes other than tossing into dressers, well, so far anyway.

Still have tons of school paper work waiting for me.

I have been working right along on the general all around house clean-up, though.

I have done quite a bit on my website http://candyfoote.com/

Well, you can see that I have NOT been disciplined enough to blog daily.  Although, you must admit, I am doing much better.

I have been happily working on my next three books.  (The Word of God on Prayer, The Word of God on the Words of Your Mouth, and The Word of God on Who I Am")

Both the tomatoes and peppers are still waiting in the kitchen for me.

The beef came back from the butcher, though.  It was 400 pounds, not 300!  Yeah!  We got all of that wrapped and put into the freezer.  Well, most of it.  We also had a great supper!

I hope you enjoyed the update!

Goal Accomplishments

After checking over my goals list

hug and kiss up my two grandchildren.

That way I can say that I accomplished something

on my goals list today!

Mmmmm

Mmmmm!

I made a boiled dinner today.

I let it boil on top of our wood stove all day.

It was soooo good!

What was in it - ham, garden carrots, and garden potatoes.

We had homemade, wholegrain rolls and fried dough (doughdodgers) to go along with it.

We will be having cinnamon rolls with glaze for snack time tonight.

It was the taste of the change of the season.

It's time to change the menu over to cold weather food.
