So sorry for the loss of your srep dad. 
Then the drama of no will.... prayers it all works to your benefit. We will sign our will tomorrow... and guardianship papers if something happens to us... there will be no questions as to our kids and hopefully assets.
Glad you got a new to you car. A good deal is always nice.

Excellent Idea very glad to hear you have a will. It's way more important then people ever realize. My parents had no idea the law said only biological children inherit. Still not found a will either, it's a mess. I'm drafting my own will so there are no questions if anything happens to me.

We inherited my parents tiny dog, and their 3 cats. The dog is named Jojo and she weighs maybe 3lbs she is a chihuahua Pomeranian mix and very cute but needy and still not fully house broken. She does go to the bathroom on puppy pads but i would much rather her go outside. She also has some separation anxiety where she barks anytime she can't get to her humans.
Two of the cats are about 2yrs old one male and one female and the female is fixed. The third cat is between 12-14yrs old and a male also fixed. The younger ones hae been roaming the house the older one we have not seen since bringing him home. We put up the gate at the basement stairs and put their auto-feeders down there and litter box so the big dogs won't eat all their food.
Our cat Gerald isnt sure about the new cats yet but they are bigger appearing then him because they are long hair.

They must be confused and upset, their world has been turned upside down. Blessing on you for taking them and giving them a good home. Hope they settle down and can relax in their new home.

With everything going on we still have not made it over to the sheep/goats to put the boys on the girls...hopefully today that gets done because they need to be bred.

The boys have been with the girls for about a week and a half now. Sows/gilts go in with the boar soon.
In other news I got a dehydrator to help store apples from our apple trees. So far i Have dehydrated a dozen apples for later pie making, dehydrated 6 bunches of celery that was on sale for .69cents each, 2 bags of coleslaw mix(for soups) that were on 99cent clearance. And I am looking for a bag of deer carrots to dehydrate as well. Onions are going on sale this week so I will do those as well and that will give me a good soup/casserole/bake base until next spring for us.
I also got plums on clearance sale for 99cents for 2.25-2.50 lbs per package, I got 4 packages which made me 12 pints of plum jam.
Cauliflower went on sale here for 1.99 per giant head so I made pickled cauliflower.
I've also made almost a gallon of apple cider, 6 pies worth of apple pie filling, a gallon of apple sauce, and 3 tiny batches of apple butter in my tiny crock pot.
This all started off with me wanting to make some apple pie filling for our freezer and the lady who works at the gas station offering to drop off jalapenos because we have talked about pickling them before. By some she ment a ton, also "some" mild peppers and green peppers. I ended up with 22 pints of pickled jalapenos, 3 gallon bags of green pepper strips for fajitas/stir-fry/pepper steak and 3 pint bags of diced mild peppers in the freezer.
This all happened over the past 2 weeks. Other then that nothing else new to report, oh except my oven on my stove is dying so baking is a gamble now but the burners on top still work fine. We are trying to find a used furnace we can afford atm we don't have a furnace yet. All the dogs and cats seem to be doing ok. The 13yr old cat has not settled into the change well he spends 99% of his time under our basement steps going thru a gap in the paneling to get there.
I also discovered an awesome recipe that reminds me of thanksgiving. I ground up chicken breasts seasoned them and cooked them into burgers, then put mustard on the bottom bun, fried onions and apples on top of the burger and plum jam on the lid....it was awesome. Sadly no pictures they were gone way to fast.

I have a propane hot water boiler that works fine. I'd give you but you have to come pick it up 
. We took it out when we had to rebuild half the house 6 years ago. Replaced it with a propane hot air furnace. What I REALLY want is geothermal hot air but can't find anyone to do the work or even give me a quote so I can decide if it makes financial sense.
You sure did a lot of food prep! Is the oven flakey because it needs a thermostat? I don't expect those would be terribly expensive or hard to replace though these days appliances are a lot more complicated than they used to be.
How is your foster daughter doing?

Very generous of you...only problem would be the piping/raditors for the hot water. The house is set up with forced air ducting that is only like 5yrs old.
I dunno why it is being weird it has been doing it on and off for a year. I've tried to adjust the shuttles for the gas a couple of times but it seems to have no effect. It could be a thermostat but i have not even looked to see where that is located.
She isnt doing to well. Within a month of being home she had some friends pick her up in the middle of the night and got busted by the cops doing drugs in the next time over, then lied about who she was to the cops. She was already on probation. Then a few days later she tried to commit suicide so went to a mental health facility for 2 weeks.
