THANKSGIVING!!

[greybeard]

Be careful about buying a new oven. Should a kitchen fire occur (your fault--no one's fault) you may be held financially responsible for smoke damage--or worse.

I've never lived anywhere that an oven was required by law to be provided in a rental or lease situation, any more than a washer/dryer, or refrigerator was, tho most places did provide oven and refrigerator as incentive to attract tenants.

Arkansas is all for landlord rights. I think they maybe have to have a smoke detector and that is about as far as it goes as legal responsibility and I'm not even sure about that. I love this house but the rent is too high for having a wood stove for heat, bad plumbing and rodent and cockroaches. We are planning on trying to find another place in March. That's another reason we want to buy our own stove. He would have our oven repaired if we called him. We don't expect him to survive much longer. He's in that bad of shape. His heirs will probably sell the place once he is gone.

Today our son-in-law told us his sister and 2 of her 3 kids are coming too! Count just went up to 22! I think I'll make a corn casserole too! DH and I discussed a hay ride for the kids, I think it will be fun.

Ah holidays are tough for those of us with complicated families. We will be having Thanksgiving dinner Wednesday night with my parents. Then we will stay home on Thursday and get some farm work done and eat leftovers.

What am I thankful for? A husband who shares my self sufficiency dream and works very hard so that I can stay home and homeschool and take care of this place (and the many animals). I am thankful for an amazing daughter. And I am thankful for living in a place where I can raise my own animals and hunt and basically be left alone. I mean, as long as I pay my atrocious tax bill but hey this is supposed to be a positive post right?

And I'm thankful for finding all you like minded, animal crazy people! Happy Thanksgiving, however you celebrate it!

We will be spending Thanksgiving at home. I'm a homebody and everyone already has plans.

John wants to go two hours south to his family.

I don't . We've got goats due NOW. I don't want to be that far away if something happens and they all understand .

My brother ended up hosting Thanksgiving
Not sure how but it's ok we have enough work to do
I always make my grandmothers oyster dressing recipe
Most of the people there think it's gross
The only people who like it are me and my mom my stepdad and my aunt
That's ok plenty for us
My grandmother is why
I have dairy goats
I remember helping her milk her goats when I was very young
I didn't know you could get milk from a carton until I started school

 

[Baymule]

That's why we invited so many people, they don't have family nearby and I just can't stand the thought of them not joining the crazy crowd.

@CntryBoy777 I think I would at least have a baked chicken, some sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie and rolls. Pizza?

@Ferguson K that sucks. That's tough about having goats due NOW, I understand why you don't want to leave them. Why doesn't John go and bring you back some goodies?
