For G-ma Gotzman who asked "what is your cows name?" It is Ella and she is in a lot of trouble right now because she has NOT I repeat NOT calved yet! So I wait. I did manage to attend the DIFFICULT vet assisted birth of one of Wendy's other cows. Thankfully cow & calve are doing fine.
We are having a bit of a pig shortage over here in eastern Or. So far we have only managed to find 8 possible piglets and we need at least 8 preferablly 2-3 more. We may have to let Roy find some where he is and bring them over Spring break. I am still waiting to hear from our goat lady.
I went to quilting and am slowing finishing the twins(Alaina & Josie) blankets. My son Kenner called and asked if I would make two for the RVF church nursery. Stephanie had been in charge of re-doing the room cleaning, painting, etc... She did a beautiful job so they though it would be nice to have some hand made quilts. I was very honored he would think of me.
I am feeling a bit tired and want to go spend a little time with Olivia this evening so I better go for now. PS Gma the grad stuff came in the mail today THANK-YOU!!!
Blessings to all, Alaina |
• Thursday, March 6, 2008 - Making Soap
Last night after Church, I actually made them all count each other to make sure I didn't forget someone. LOL. I found my lye at a hardware store - like ACE/Truevalue. Look for the oldest one around and look there. It was in the plumbing section. I just used cows milk, which I have plenty of. While goat's is suppose to be great, cow's is fine also.
