Gifts galore!!!!!
This, this, THIS came!!!! A newfangled chicken waterer (with handy winterizing heater) made and sold by a most adorable family in Florida. Called a Chicken Kooler, it’s a must have (watch the video on their website, Cheery Chicks showcasing 4-day old baby chicks using one). She also made a darling …
Grandma’s Apron
A couple of years ago, a poem about aprons caught fire on the Internet. Here’s a newer version (well, new to me). I thought (or rather, I knew) you’d enjoy reading it along with a collection of our apron photos.
Remember making an apron in Home Ec? Remember Home Ec?
The principal use of Grandma’s apron was to protect the dress underneath because she only had a few and because it was easier to wash aprons than dresses and aprons required less material. But along with that, it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven.
Glampers on the Loose
Last week, I shared two decked-out trailers that the ladies of Glampers on the Loose revamped and stayed in during our trip to South Dakota. How adorable was Shery’s “Cabin in a Can” and Jennie’s “Little Black Dress”? This week, we’re sharing “Primitive,” the “Holy Roller,” and “The Bunkhouse.”
Here’s Michele’s dreamboat, “Primitive.”
MBA Jane: Entrepreneurial Spirit
Wondering who I am? I’m Merit Badge Awardee Jane (MBA Jane for short). In my former life …
Well, the first thing I had to do to earn my Entrepreneurial Spirit Badge was figure out how to spell the dang thing. I like to write down my adventures in badges, you know, and I’ve been trying to better myself by not abusing spell check. (I like to think of spell check as an over-worked, under-paid serf, residing in my laptop). So, anyway, about 10 years later, I got the spelling of entrepreneurial right. And I’ll never forget it.
On to the actual badge. (Would a badge about starting a gardening business be a entremanure badge?)
High School Revisited
My brother and his wife came to visit recently. We’re still sorting through our parents’ treasures, so Scott delivered some odds and ends from our childhood home—a few church books, high school yearbooks, my childhood merit badge badalo sash (now you know why I’m such a fan of merit badges), AND my mother’s …
tricked-out trailers
Here they are … the promised photos of the fantastic, amazing, gorgeous glampers we had the honor of “meeting” in person on our recent glamping trip to South Dakota! Fab-u-lous.
Here’s Shery Jesperson, our Ranch Farmgirl Blogger’s, glamper.
