Never a dull moment....

Posted on Tuesday, May 6, 2008 at 04:06 PM

Boy, the saying "Never a dull moment" sure fits us lately. Donald (my wonderful hubby) should be opening his shop the first week in June. He told his boss that the 31st of May was his last day. (the last day of that pay period) So, a new adventure is just on the horizon for us. We were going to refinance that house to have some money in the bank "just in case" it took a while for work to pick up for Donald. We found out last week that across the road from us they are putting in 39 low income homes. WHAT!?!? The piece of property is maybe 2 1/2 acres and most of it is on a slope. We thought for sure we were safe from more than one or two neighbors. But thirty-nine....

So, we are not refinancing now, because Donald is certain that he doesnt want to live in the city or anything that feels like city. Instead, we will finish up a few projects here and try to sell..... Oh God give me strength I pray! So many changes all at once! Pray for me please. I do not do well with change and so much of it all at once threatens my sanity for sure!  I know that I can do all things through Christ who strengthes me! I will cling to that!

On to more normal info, the chicks are growing, the peas are coming up and we are all healthy and happy. My new menu is coming together, but not complete. I am struggling finding recipes still. So many meals that have recipes now a days are so full of such expensive ingredients. And besides, how do you pronounce half of the things well enough to ask your grocery clerk where to find them?  Anyway, so my request for some yummy, "simple" summertime recipes is still standing. Please help if you can. Thanks so much!

Have a blessed day!

Have you checked out the recipes in the the Depression era cook book? I have heard those are pretty basic and most are things you already have on hand(in most cases).
