Our Little Homestead



2006-Mar-24 -

Well, it sure has been busy around here...!

We have been busy with our new baby chicks--who are growing quick! (We lost one last night--no idea why--just up n died :(

We've had a few illnesses run thru the house, Marc is back at work thru the Summer....filling candle orders, schoolin, planting seedlings, planning the garden....we have a Grandpa's 85th birthday party this weekend, Marc got some COOL, very nice new woodworking tools....take a lookssee :

THIS is THE most major drill set up I have EVER SEEN......350 RPM's, look at Marc's hand in comparison to this thing.....WHOA NELLIE!!!! IT"S HUGE! We got these tools from Bosworth Tools--talk about NICE stuff--WOW! We were even more impressed than we thought we'd be--which is a NICE surprise! :)

 

Yesterday, we ran some errands (Marc got a 4 day weekend since they finished up their job early--yay!) got a wood permit for this year...made up a double batch of laundry soap, made up a few batches of cookie dough, (and a few cookies) tossed the cookie dough in the freezer for another time. Baked up the last bit of the blueberries into a cobbler for Marc. Played around with Marc's new tools, broke out the BBQ -(where we found the mysterious quarter pounder-------it was 66 degrees yesterday afternoon--wow! BBQ'd up some steaks, for fajitas which were deeeelicious!

Marc found some fireworks....hence the pic below.......

I am having trouble keeping up with daily breadmaking....freezing it is! We are also making up a big batch of cornbread to take along with the crock of chili to Grandpa's birthday party/luncheon on Saturday....

I have GOT to get the taxes finished, before Marc has a stroke too.....al;sdkfjal;sdkjf....

 

Have a great weekend y'all!!!!!!!!!
