This is what you do when the okra is coming in non-stop! For dinner yesterday I heated up the chile relleno casserole, heated up the black eyed peas and added more okra because we had eaten all the okra out of them the first time, and did my version of fried okra. Vince said "It's a good thing I like okra!" Yep, and it's a good thing he's not a pick eater. Leftovers and two sides of ...
Peach Jam
Another late night canning picture! I only got one batch made but will hopefully get more made before the peaches go bad. I need a few more hours in my day or maybe I just need to be a bit more organized! ...
Planning a Trip
Sometimes I have these great ideas, I tell Vince about them and he just looks at me. I never know if he's thinking "you're crazy" or "that's a great idea". We're planning to go to MO in a couple of weeks. There are two beds with mattresses and the bedroom furniture in our room but without mattresses. We were going to bring the new mattress set from the apartment . . Chad would bring the ...

If I had to guess, I'd say it will be well after the first of the year before we're totally living in MO. It will be a whole lot of back and forth - time in the car when Vince is driving and I'm in the passenger seat knitting; time when I'm in MO by myself; ...
Lizard Eyes
It's a knitting pattern! I'm not going to show pictures of a real lizard's eyes . . but I could because there are so many of them around here. One thing about Camp Loopy at The Loopy Ewe is that everyone does the most amazing projects and so many of them I want to do too. I've added probably three or four dozen projects to my list of "some day" projects. One project shared on Facebook is ...
Saturday Moving Preps
The lady came and got the chickens today. I had told Vince I was going to stay inside with Rita so she didn't get upset. She would know there was something weird going on outside but when my friend got here, I walked out to the chicken yard with her and we all began trying to grab a chicken. There were two sitting on nests so I grabbed those. From there . . it was hilarious. Vince had a net. My ...
