Memorial Day Dinner

On Memorial Day we had our first homegrown chickens for dinner the other night with our friends who helped us with the butchering. Heather roasted a rooster and a hen. The hen was juicier, but they were both very tasty. We had salad and a yummy corn dish that Dori prepared with frozen corn from [...]

Dental Surgery

It was an experience for sure and one I hope not to have to ever go through again. I had a procedure done called Wilkodontics which is basically an accelerated orthodontic procedure that involves bone grafting. I also had an Alloderm gum graft, plus the removal of one of my lower front teeth. Since I [...]

Homegrown Chicken

I’m certainly glad this morning is over. With a dear friend’s help, we managed to get through our first chicken butchering experience. It really wasn’t as bad as I had feared it would be. And now we have something in the freezer to show for our efforts.

The question I seem to get most often these days is, “How’s the new diet going?” [...]

May 12th – snowing!

I had a wonderful Mother’s Day. Any time we can all spend together is becoming more of a rarity these days so it was nice to have that time yesterday. We did a short hike in the National Forest and then ‘tried’ to fish at the lake for a little bit. The wind was blowing [...]

It’s a Start

Welcome to my blog! Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms, and especially to my mom. I wish there were not so many miles separating us at this time.
I am not usually the writer but I’m going to give it a try here. I much prefer to be the editor. Since I have so many [...]
