The Homestead Way of Life

THIS WAS HARD!

You are all so funny!  Who says the country life is boring?! 

Wow, I had such a hard time deciding.  But, I have to admit, one of the very first comments is the one that got me.

Drum Roll, please.....

HisIrishGem - Rebecca Shearer won with the line:

If your "idea of entertainment" is coercing your husband to touch the Hot wire fence to see if it's working....You are a Homestead woman

I just got an instant mental picture on that one!  Our poor husbands...they are always the ones who have to do the tough stuff, aren't they.  Like, "Honey, I think this cheese has gone bad, will you please taste it and tell me?"  You know, that kind of stuff.

Anyway, Rebecca has won a complementary one year subscription to my newsletter - New Harvest Homestead - and a pretty wheat sheaf grown right here!  Congratulations, Rebecca!

And, speaking of the newsletter - my September/October issue just came out!  Come visit my website - NewHarvestHomestead.com - for more details and a free introductory issue!

Thank you to all you great ladies who participated in my little contest!  What a great bunch you are!

I don't win much so this was quite a surprise! Thank You so much!

My poor husband! I only had to try that once and he never did it again! Haha

You should hear the story of when I first cut His hair with the clippers. Poor guy just goes through so much! But I'm so glad that He loves me through it all.

Thanks again! I'm so excited!

I had a friend trick me into touching a hot wire, and it wasn't fun - but she sure got a kick out of it...

Thanks for posting such a funny entry; it deserved to win!

Oh Patti

No, it's not usually fun for the receiver! But it sure is a laugh for the person who suggests it. My mom when she was younger chased my dad and his brother with a cow prod. Which if you know anything about them, they too have quite a jolt! Haha

I think the best ways to pass time around here can be without money. Doug and I are always pranking each other and I think the laughter brings us so much closer. Though after the slight pain.Haha

Thanks again!

I found out about New Harvest Homestead last night and then found this site. Today I was thinking about this, I know the contest is over, but thought I would share. If you take hot water buckets from your bathtub out to the washing machine (in the shed) to have a warm or hot wash...you are a Homestead woman!
