Good morning everyone! I'm back! Well, I never actually went anywhere. Three of my grandchildren were here for the week, so I did grandchildrenly things all week. Resting up today and doing very little.
Start seeds and repot larger ones. I still can't get into the garden because of mud.
Tidy up the toy basket
Tammy - enjoy your grandbabies!
Luckymama - send some soda bread my way.

Missed you all yesterday. I was busy catching up on some things that didn't get done.
Today - dd and grandchildren preparations. Cooking, baking cleaning guestroom, etc. They aren't coming until Sunday, but I'll have other things to do tomorrow. My daughter's husband is going to be gutting and redoing their ONLY bathroom, hence their visit. :)
Robins in the front yard. Deer in the backyard. Love it!

I am 63 and have rarely used moisturizers. I am blonde with fair skin so I have always been careful of the sun. I have recently started to use this - http://www.chagrinvalleysoapandsalve.com/products/details/for-the-face/moisturizers/whipped-butters/whipped-squalane-face-eye-mousse- after noticing some crow's feet and wrinkly areas around my mouth. It seems to work wonders almost immediately. I love it! ( I also use their soaps and shampoo bars, which I and my family love.) Honestly, I have NO connection with this company! :laugh:

Good morning everyone. It is snowing here again and the woodstove is so cozy that it is hard to get anything done! Schools have been closed here for 1 1/2 weeks and I am starting to feel like a slave-driver, so I told ds we would do a light day of study today.
Clean kitchen - done
Clean mud room - totally hopeless cause :-)
Bake cookies for the boys - dh and ds
Think of something for dinner so I don't have to go out to the store
Listen to Act 1 of Richard III with ds
Etc...

I think I have posted once or twice here, so you all don't know me, but I frquently follow this thread because it is very encouraging to me. Church services were cancelled due to the weather today, so I am a bit at a loss. I do need to find my kitchen this morning. It is under that mess somewhere.
Make bean soup and muffins.
Read.
Plan basic school schedule for the week.
Then what????

We adopted from Russia with Children's Home Society of Minnesota (we live in Virginia). They have been around a long time, were extremely helpful here and in Russia. We had a very good experience. They do adoptions from many countries and domestic.

We live in Southwest Virginia close to western NC. Beautiful! We were in California before we moved here. (DH was in the Army.) It was like coming to the garden of Eden! Come for a visit. I think you"ll stay.

Yes. A restaurant that I worked for did that, only they didn't freeze it because they used it too fast. They just kept it in the fridge.
