I Got My Walton Feed Catalog!!!!!

Thanks Abundant Blessings!  I got my catalog today and can't wait to order!  Can you tell I'm excited?!  My mom and sister are going to get together with me to order and share stuff.

We're supposed to get more snow this weekend so I bought two hams at the store this morning (I miss having pigs!) and put them in the crock to slow cook all day.  My mom got me this cooker for Christmas a few years ago Rival 20qt Roaster Oven.  I LOVE it!  I can put two hams or two turkeys in it and just walk away.  I do have a smaller crock pot that's great for soups but my roast won't even fit in.

I need to pick up more bird seed before the storm hits as well.  Holly, our cat is thinking up ways to get the cute little birdies to come into the house to play with her!  Don't you wish your pets could talk sometimes?!  Of course, she'd probably be constantly telling us to get rid of the dog!

One last thing, my hubby told me to take a hot bath last night for my back and neck (we didn't have enough hot water to fill up the tub though - I guess because its so cold outside).  My upper back (just under the shoulder blades and up) and neck still hurt.  I wonder if anyone knows of some kind of poultice or something I could put on it?  I think I'll boil water on the stove to make enough hot water for the tub later today.  I just hate feeling bad and not being able to do all the stuff I feel like I need to do!  It just occured to me....I hadn't been studying my Bible as much as normal lately, and now that I'm under the weather I have been.  Could be God wanted my attention and for me to be back in the Word!

can I ask where you got the catalog?

I haven't been to Walton's in a while but I don't remember them having a paper catalog. I would love to see one.

Thanks,

stretches

As I have grown older, I have learned the importance of stretching. I make sure to stretch after working out or working hard or an injury. I'm wondering if you type "exercise stretches"
in a search on the internet, if you could find some that will make you feel better. Then for an injury, alternating hot and cold packs, ending with cold might be very helpful too.
