Hello Homestead bloggers. I'd like to say a special hello to the handfull of ladies that posted on my blog, asking about me since I've been away from the computer. Thank you Trixi, Farrah and Julia and of course, Kitty who is a close friend that I keep in touch with in other ways.
I'm dissappointed that one can go from being a long standing "top commenter" here (one who reads and comments on others' blogs) to not blogging at all for a long time and come back to wonder if all those friends from my "friends list" even cared I'd been away. Plus bunches had removed me as a friend of theirs altogether I noticed. So I'm hurt but won't stay that way. Blogging is strange....
On a different note some of the things that have been going on have been:
We took a short trip to Memphis with hubby on business.
My hubby's dad has been really sick and in the hospital.
Our oldest daughter is in hospital passing kidney stones.
Been gathering lots of eggs. (getting double yolks from our new chickens! I'll take a pic soon of the pretty baby blues and greens and avacado green and browns and white eggs.)
Got lots of rain from Faye which relieved our parched area.
Gearing up for Gustav here in South Mississippi : ( When Katrina hit we were without power for over a week and lost all our food in freezers/fridg, waited in long lines to get gas that got higher by the minute, lots of clean up, etc....We're going tonight to the store to stock up on some things for the storm. We've already got some batteries. And since Katrina we've gotten a generator and a window unit air conditioner so we can at least stay in the house during 90 plus temps outside if the power goes out.
Lots of things going on at Church. I'll be teaching 1st and 2nd grade Sunday School for the new Church year again and it will begin Sept. 1st.
Our 26th Wedding Anniversary is next Wednesday. 
Our oldest granddaughter turned 5 this week. Her party is Saturday.
Our 3rd grandchild is due Thanksgiving day! It's a boy!
Several little trips planned to flea markets and such.
My first post in so long should be more exciting but maybe next time. With pictures!
~God bless everyone~
