Hung Up

All kinds of things got "hung" today--

Including my baby swing on our porch-- so now when I am milking our hanging laundry-- she can sit in her swing and watch mamma-- (or her MUCH more entertaining brothers and sisters)


Did you catch that up there- HANGING the Laundry? Yes-- my DEAR DEAR HUSBAND hung for me an AWESOME "pulley" type clothes line!!!! I was too impatient to wait to buy one at Lehmans so he got this one at the local hardware store. It definitly does the job!!!!




** of course today picking up Patches-- we saw some women that had a DOUBLE pulley line!! Now that is AWESOME!! In time--I'm sure-- because even as big as this is-- it will only hold 2 of my LARGE loads!!


What a step in my "preparedness" aka "off grid surivial" plan!!

    Don't you just love the smell of clothes dried in the sunshine? I like the idea of having a pulley line. My neighbor has three wee little ones and her husband built her a pulley clothes line where she can stand on the back porch and send her clothes out into the yard.

    I hope your day has been nice.

Laine's Letters

3 Years, it has been 3 years since I have updated this blog. Hoping to continue to journal our happenings. First I wanted to leave a link for Laine's Letters. Oh my these letters have been SOOOOO  encouraging to me like NOTHING else. She inspired me to spend my morning with the Lord, waiting on Him, listening to Him. She inspired me to love my husband and put him right after the Lord She inspired me to raise and love and train my children in many areas And lastly she even touched on keeping my home, to bring honor to the Lord. I want to come back (SOON) and print these off and put them in a binder for each of my daughters.   Hoping that one day these letters will inspired them as well. Laine's Letters archives

Immigrant 1880-1914 food budget

So we went on a mini field trip this weekend to the Johnstown Flood Museum and then to the Heritage Center -- "Through Immigrant Eyes, tells a national story in a local context. It captures the imaginations of visitors through its innovative use of interactive media. Rather than simply looking at artifacts, you'll actually experience the sights, sounds and even the smells of immigrants' daily lives, and come away with a more complete understanding of the sacrifices and achievements of these Americans in the making. As you enter, you'll choose a card with a photo of one of eight immigrant characters, who are fictional composites based on historical facts. You then experience the daily life of that character as you tour the museum. " Well the "foodie" in me-- found a few sights VERY interesting.... the entire center was very interesting.... but-- in 1880-1914 these were some signs we saw.... "It was terribly hard work, and we lived poorly, But we ate ...

Day Book

The best way to get back in (for me) is a Day Book. I'm not sure if they even still have a "Simple Woman's Day Book" or not, but I always enjoyed them. Daybook for the week of June 12, 2016 Picture for the week........                                                The birthday boy -  He turned 12 on Saturday-- ( this picture is from Thanksgiving though, I haven't down loaded my phone pictures yet though.  ) Outside my window..... Things are green, and showers today have made my garden very happy I am thinking..... About starting in with some school for the kids next week. About dipping our feet in with some potty training. About the how very deep the spiritual side of adoption is, and how constant. I am thankful for..... ...
