Yeah, we keep receipts "forever" ya never know when you might need it. So, I have DH Keep every receipt. We put them in a folder in the file cabinet.

Just last week, I was looking for more "9 oz "old fashion" glasses, that I bought at Wal-Mart last June, but couldn't find them at several different stores. A guy at our local store said if I had the stock # he could look them up.

So, DH went to look in the old receipts, and found it. I wrote the info from the receipt, in the note function, on my phone, and the next time I went to Wal-Mart, a girl in that aisle, looked up the UPC# and found it on their system. So, saving receipts paid off . . . well, sort of . . .the info she found said they no longer carry those glasses. I LOVE those glasses!!!

Once I had the UPC#, I looked online & they are out of stock.

Today was extremely busy!

It all started when I went out to get Falina, in the back 2 runs behind the chicken coop. Usually she meets me at the gate. But she wasn't there. I got worried when I called her & she didn't come or
respond. I couldn't see the back corner, of the far run, so I looked back there, but still couldn't see her. Then I realized she was in the small space between both of the huts.

It took us a while to figure out how to get her out of there. We ended up cutting the wires between the back of that run & the front chicken run. It wasn't easy, but I hooked a leash on her collar, & gave it to DH, who pulled her back through the opening he cut. Here she is in the chicken/duck run after we freed her.

We had her in the 2 back runs, because I thought she was in heat & we had brought @Latestarter's RJ, to breed her again. Falina had no interest in RJ, so I discussed it with @goatgurl & she thinks Falina is already pregnant. I kept them separate, so I could observe & confirm contact. So, I put her with RJ again, today, & they were just acting like buds. Here they are sharing some hay. Don't they make a cute couple?

After I milked both goats and filtered the milk, I got busy making a loaf of bread, that I had started earlier.

As the day went on & I waited for bread to rise, I made corn casserole, for our fellowship meal after church tomorrow.

I also made 1 pound of butter, from a quart of cream, a big batch of mayonnaise (3 peanut butter jars) and cooked yaupon leaves, to make tea. Before brewing it, I chopped it up with a little, manual spice chopper. I put a little honey in it, and it was yummy!!!

Falina was hiding from RJ! Silly goat! Making your DH rescue her, a regular damsel in distress.

You cooked lots of goodies today!

Goats don't have a reverse gear??

 

[Latestarter]

Oh yeah... they have reverse... just no steering control going backwards. only straight. No rear view mirrors I guess.

 

[Devonviolet]

Yup. They have reverse gear. She just couldn't make a 90 degree turn at the same time she went in reverse. She needed "encouragement" with the leash, to back out of that tight space.

 

[Bruce]

But no problem making a right turn in forward!

 

[Devonviolet]

Exactly!
