Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

These two seem to shed year round so the vacuum gets run a couple of times a day usually. They are the reason we only have laminate flooring in our house. Zero carpet.

Gabbie keeps the filters cleaned on our vacuum....there is so much of her hair that the filters have to be cleaned everytime the canister is dumped....

While I miss Polly, our Aussie that died last year, I don't miss the hair. It was fine and floated on the air like cat hair. Parker, our black Lab/Great Dane sheds too, but at least it falls on the floor and doesn't float, landing on lampshades and such.

And right now, Trip in all his hairy Glory is sprawled out in the floor...….

We had winds in excess of 40 mph yesterday and when I went out to the garden to check for damage, I was pleasantly surprised there wasn't any. I had worked the corn bed a few days earlier so they were anchored pretty good. All the peppers and tomatoes were already tied to stakes and they held up good also. We went ahead and thinned the peppers this morning since they were getting top heavy and we wound up with a gallon freezer bag full of chopped peppers. I also picked a bucket of sweet banana peppers so we are going to make some relish this morning.

Glad to hear that!

Teresa's sister was telling her how good was the seasoned flour they use and sent a 5 pound bag home with her. We don't eat a lot of fried food but she cooked up a batch of fried chicken and made some milk gravy to go over smashed potatoes. This was some of the best fried chicken I ever had so I guess we will keep that flour on hand from now on. They get it shipped to them so they buy it a case at a time to share with their family and I guess we will too now. The label is Western Star Seasoned Flour.

Is it regular flour with seasoning added in, or a special kind of flour with seasoning?.......what is the seasoning that is in it? It sounds like it would be worth the try.....

I love a good fried chicken! That seasoned flour sounds pretty good.

All that's listed on the ingredients is: spices.

We didn't use any other seasoning and the gravy had enough of whatever is in it to not need anything on the potatoes.

Should have taken the dogs out downwind of the house and brushed them good!
