Today I’m going the easy route and posting an email I received from my sister who lives in Baton Rouge, Louisiana (hurricane land). Men, if you are still reading, this letter is women specific, so unless you want to read on for the women in your lives, TURN BACK NOW. Okay, you have been warned, […]

Obligatory Swine Flu Post and Quarantine Thoughts
JUST IN CASE you haven’t found or heard any information on this Swine Flu deal yet or want more, here’s a quick list of a few places with good information (and if you’re sick of links about the Swine Flu, just cruise on past this first part–there’s more): Utah Preppers has a 3 part (so […]
Happy News!
Well, I said Thursday that I had some exciting news I’d share with you all “tomorrow”. Well, what “tomorrow” actually means is sometime in the future, just like “lasterday” means sometime in the past. So since I missed the real tomorrow, and don’t have a ton of time today (like none), I’ll just keep this […]
Chickies!
Our local farm/ranch store was supposed to get a boatload of little chicks yesterday, so I was going to pick me up a few, but when I called them in the morning, they said the shipment wasn’t coming until next week–bummer! But it just so happened I had to go “over the mountain” yesterday to […]

Knitted Swiffer Cover
Well, look at what my crafty mom has been up to! I cannot crochet more than a chain stitch which gets me nothing but a long fat piece of yarn, and knitting needles would be more useful to me as chopsticks, but my mom is so talented (and frugal), she knitted herself a swiffer broom […]
Basic Firearms Part 1: Firearm Safety and Parts of a Gun
This is the first in a series of firearms informational posts. If you have any questions, PLEASE ask. No question is a dumb question here. I’m keeping it basic and simple, so those of you with tons of firearms experience, try not to get bored on me, okay? Here’s my short background–I shot very little […]
Catch Up (not Ketchup)
A post with a bunch of randomness thrown together (aka “what’s been going on around here”). I’ve been using the soap I made with my church girls. It’s pretty nice, but could have used more essential oil. When I put it in I didn’t measure how much I added, and the whole church kitchen smelled […]
