Another week has gone by. We have a big beef carcass hanging in our pole barn needing to be cut up and packaged for our freezer. We raised it, so it was a project we knew we would need to get done during these cold months. Our minds are far from our work, but life goes … Continue Reading ››

A brand new year is before us. What does it hold for us? It is so good we don’t know our future. Saturday we decided to wash our laundry and also daughter Susan’s.
