    Ridgetop - our place and how we muddle along

    DD1 called yesterday and insisted that we should all go out for dinner tonight to our favorite Mexican place. All of us being DD1 and her family, DDS, Annabel, DH and me. I don't really like to go out for dinner anymore since I don't eat as much as they serve and restaurants are so over...

    Ridgetop - our place and how we muddle along

    Being ready for weather conditions is not "prepping" it is common sense. I prefer to shop only once a month for staples. Fruit and veg is harder to shop for (no garden here because of gophers and bad soil - see previous posts). Once we are in Texas we will plant a big garden, perennial fruit...

    When O was yong, putting up mega amounts of canned food was exciting. Completely blanced the exhausting days. Now, in my Prime, the idea of 14 hour days on my feet growing and canning all those jars is :thLOL. Forst I thought I might put up my stuff in pints - lots of jars, but less food...

    Never leave uneaten dog food out since it attracts predators. Remove food that they don't eat and reduce the amount you feed by that much.

    I don't have Gmail but it is a reason to get it. Our children make fun of us for still being with AOL. DS1 said he lost another ram lamb today. It was the nicest one too. He was lethargic yesterday but seemed to get better this morning. Thisevening he was dead. DH thinks it may be the...

    Good idea to hang onto those genetics since the Hoys were absolutely big on milk production. Sad to hear they are cutting back on the way to retiring. I guess sooner or later it comes to all of us. :(

    I think so. That is what I do with tomatoes. Freeze them as they come ripe then you can work them in small batches from the freezer. I put them in the sink in water and let the skins thaw so they slip off. Then you can slice them or crush them while partially frozen, make up the peach butter...

    Tried out the invalid toilet chair for the getting off the chair exercise. Adjusted the legs lower and put a towel over the top. Works fine. I will use it at this height until I am getting up easily, then lower it another notch to make it harder to get up. That will exercise leg muscles and...

    OOPS Need Advice

    Hopefully not pregnant, but if so make sure not to overfeed during the last month of pregnancy. Too much nutrition in last month will produce large kid(s), OK if twins, but if a single it can be a difficult birth for a young doe.

    Hardly ever write checks except for contractor work. DH does most bill pay by email. DS1 and DSIL2 went to the movies in Sulphr Springs today. The 10 am show is only $4.75. The seats are giant recliners and they havepuout tablets for burgers. DS1 and DSIL2 were thrilled. Movie was some...

    Keep the ewe and replace the ram. Rams are easier to find than registered (or unregistered) ewes.

    Talked to DS1 and he said that the Pennicilin perked up 3038 a lot. Yesterday she was so lethargic that he just wqlked up to her and gave her the injection. Tonight as soon as she saw him coming with the syringe she tried to escape! LOL He finally caught her and gave her the injection...
