  • Birthday Pie?!!

    This is a disturbing trend....two friends celebrated their birthdays with...pie! not cake?! Although, messing about with a can of spray whipped cream turned out to be a highlight of the party. Seriously though, just cause Thanksgiving is around the corner, that's no reason to go messing with perfection! :)

    So, we're having issues with today...mainly, doing things... ;) . Got to bed late cause I had covered my bed with stuff from my closet and I didn't want to just wedge everything back in to the closet...you know how it is, it would feel like stepping backwards. So, waking up turned out to be a challenge as well. A.m. chores are done, we're getting brunch going, Lizzy is making dutch babies and coffee,yummmmmmmmm...., Hoppy is organizing the craft beads and Elena is doing schoolwork.

    Today we have to finish my room and make a decent stab at the girls room, and hopefully we'll get that done as well. We'd like to go contra-dancing on Saturday night so getting everything done would be a good thing. Congregational meal is on Sunday and I'm not sure what we'll be making for a main dish but I think we'll make apple pie squares for dessert, that serves a good crowd and it'll be Pie again!!

    On the farmstead front, the goat gals were not in heat, so that means we have to watch 'em closely in order to hustle them down to the buck when they are. Sure hope it's not on Thanksgiving or Christmas, that would be a bit frustrating. I did though, discover a shorter route to the breeder, shaved about 15/20 min. off the original route! Need to winterize all of the animal shelters and get a light on a timer in to the chickens.

    It's a gorgeous day and Elena just passed her spelling test! Awesome, she's doing really well. Sunny and 45 degrees here, beautiful. For once my phone has me in Virginia at least, just not in my city. Lately it's had me in Mobile, Al and I can say that I have been there several times since I grew up in New Orleans and that was a normal cut through on vacations.

    Have to get to work now and hear Hoppy read her literature to me.

    Hope you all have a blessed Friday!

  • Don preferred pie over cake, so tended to have birthday pie. ;^)

    Wish I could find a contra dancing group around here, but there simply doesn't seem to be one. There's a MeetUp but it has never actually MetUp. :hmmmmm:
