Sigh ... what a job. I set the standard way too high -- again. I exhaust myself sometimes. Not to mention what that standard does to my helpers. But Don is an incredible sport. Guess he's used to me and my modalities. Anyway, MOST of the items have been returned to the barn. But I'm …

All kinds of 'things' are going on at Gran' Nanny's Goat Milk Soaps. First, the hubster has had the flu; the world stops when one of us is ill. I've been staying close to him and making sure he drinks plenty of liquids. He's better.

I'm a city girl and it is taking me a looooong time to turn in my shoes. Walking around the house barefoot, wiggling my …
The things we do for our critters
Being snowed in isn't so bad. That is IF you have enough supplies. At our place that means hay for our critters. Good news/bad news: today is the last day of our hay. Guess I'll be venturing out tomorrow or later this afternoon. With that being said, it's been wonderful just hanging out with everyone. …
Merry Christmas, Everyone
Merry Christmas, Everyone. What a perfect morning. Husband is still sleeping. Poor baby came down with the flu a couple of days ago so we've postponed our family Christmas until he feels better. Two of the dogs are playing next to my desk. Lilly and Meister are almost non-stop playing machines. They'll play a while …
