1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

2. Don’t worry about what people think, they don’t do it very often.

8. A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.

9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.

35. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that deep down inside we ALL believe we are good drivers.

36. Your friends love you anyway.

DINNER AND TURKEYS

Going to put a ham in the oven for dinner and making potato salad. We have been craving ham, couldn't wait until Christmas. Thinking about making pumpkin bars also.

Sold 2 of our female turkeys. Instead of eating them they are going to use them to breed. We are thinning out the turkeys and chickens for the winter. We have too many roosters so will barbcue a couple this week. By the end of this month we should only have 2 or 3 roosters a bunch of hens, we are keeping 2 male and 2 female turkeys to breed so that we aren't buying chicks every year, plus then we won't have to hand raise them either.

Miss John and Bella so much. Big chunks of my day are so empty.

LOOK AT HER GO



Our baby girl is toddling everywhere. I think she looks even more adorable when her mommy curls her hair.

At 9am just sat for about 10mins looking at 2 really big deer just a stones throw away from our back door. Was able to quietly go out on the back deck and sit and watch for a bit. I love living with nature. Some nights the owls hoot so loudly that it sounds like they are sitting right outside my window. When the deer finally heard us they bounded back into our woods, their white tails flashing. Beautiful.

Clay canned another of our turkeys and also an extra one for a turkey dinner. I couldn't do it but it is nice eating meat that we raised ourselves. No additives and humane living for them.

I tried a new recipe yesterday. Using the apples that we had gotten out of Angela's backyard. It was an apple cinnamon bread. Probably won't use that particular recipe again, a little on the dry side. It is so nice to have jars of apples sitting on the shelf waiting to be used for new recipes.
