We got 2" of rain this past week--a Blessing for sure! The cracks in the ground are gone out front, but are not completely filled in out by my clothesline. Am hoping to get some more rain this week!
Heard from Jared via FB. Doin' good thus far. He hasn't got our letters yet, the mail is s-l-o-w there. I'm going to work on a "care package" to send him this week. To include things he likes: Shotgun News, Swedish Fish....repeat! HA If friends and family would like his mailing addy; email, text or drop me a note in the comment section.
Kyle is back to work for now at Pizza Hut.....not totally sure of his "plans" for now. I think he needs a gentle push in the right direction. If he drags his feet too long, it'll be a not-so-gentle push! :) ha
Saturday and Sunday Patrick and I didn't do too much. Took some time off and just relaxed. We grilled steaks for Fathers' Day and at his request I made creamed cabbage for him (one of his favorites). We also had green beans with bacon, some cake and watermelon later. Neither of us ate all of the steaks...and we were rightfully stuffed! It'll all make for a good 'repeat' meal with the leftovers. :)
The creamed cabbage recipe is from an old (long gone) diner from my hometown--Ulbricks. They served everything Family Style.....they had the best fried chicken and creamed veggies. When the cow is in milk, I "use up" lots of milk making creamed veggies--Ulbricks' style. :)
And that's the 'short version' of happenings around here this past week!

The dairy cow doesn’t ask for much, but she asks every day.
People who are creating wealth with a cow either are hardworking and reliable or get that way in a hurry. This is the way it has been for a very long time.

There are three kinds of people in this world:
Those who watch things happen,
Those who Make things happen,
or you can wonder what the hell happened.
--Captain Phil Harris (RIP)
A few of words of wisdom I have come across:
Choose not to just live within your means, but live within your needs.
If you don't want to be responsible for or defend yourself, please don't expect others to do it for you.
(My translation: Buck up and learn some skills!)
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best!
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the AmericanGovernment take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian."--Henry Ford
**~*~**Spread the word!**~*~**
Small Family Farms need our help when ludicrous charges have come up against them. Maybe someday it could be one of us on this "make an example out of you" chopping block.
Pushing back (via donations, interviews, getting the word out, etc) and standing up for what we believe in will send a clear message that we refuse to just roll over and give up!

THANK YOU!!!
