I like blogging again. So much so that I’m even going to play Tag with Amanda and 7 as yet to be named friends. I have been reading Amanda for years. Her newest blogeration is Sleeping in Sydney.
Amanda is one heckuva cook. I think I met her when I first started the Carnival of the Recipes and she sent the most yummy recipes to me. I kinda wish she was here in Kansas with me now, as I’m pretty sure she is a much better cook and it is Thanksgiving, after all!
Anyways, today she has tagged me for the following:
The rules:
1. Post the rules on your blog.
2. Tell 7 random things about yourself.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post.
4. Pass on the tag.
7 Random things about moi:
1. Our son and our future daughter-in-law are here for just the day. They both have to work tomorrow morning in Manhattan, Kansas (The Little Apple) and it’s a couple of hours from here. They are pregnant with my (please note the "MY") Grandson, Miles. I adore all three of them, and I hope they have fun with John and I today.
2. The chickens are revolting. No, not really, some of them are molting, and that is kind of revolting because they have these odd little spikes of feathers yet to be sticking from their necks! Our chickens are not for dinner. Ever. They are for eggs. When I get them all laying enough, I can sell the eggs and buy feed for them. Someday, I will break even. Hopefully, I’ll make money.
3. My dearest husband says I make a better photographer than a farmer. Maybe. I did a Senior photo for a friend’s daughter this year - here it is:
You can tell me if I’m any good at that. I suspect that shooting Senior portraits might be a decent moneymaker. I don’t know. I prefer landscapes and nature:
, but so does every other photographer on earth!
The darned “R” key on this Dell Inspiron keeps popping off the keyboard. I have replaced it once, and now it is happening again - does anyone else have this problem? Laptop is only about 14 months old!
Burrs. I really hate burrs. I love the farm. Love the woods. Love the fields. Hate the burrs. ugh.
I have to finish thawing the turkey!! It never thaws in the fridge like it is supposed to, so the bird is in the sink, covered with cold water to speed things up. I also need to find a recipe for dinner rolls. Hopefully I can use the bread machine for the mixing and raising. Oh, gosh, I just realized my son used whole-wheat flour to make his pie crust for the pumpkin pie. That will be interesting!
I can out in the goat pasture and watch those goofy critters for hours, with my dogs at my side. Actually, I can watch the chickens for hours, too. They have some kind of weird pecking order. And the top rooster or hen is always being challenged by some young upstart, much noise and flapping of wings occurs.
So, now I get to pick 7 people to tag. Hmmmm. FBL, Cassandra, John of Argghhh!, Stacy, Right Girl, Tammy and Greta.
