This is just one of many reasons why I brag on this place all the time!

I’m on my first dog as an adult and it will straight cripple me when she’s gone. We waited for 25 married years to get a dog and I can’t put to words how much we all love her.

Country Pleasin if we don’t kill hogs to get sausage made.
Bellevue in Haughton if we have hogs to take for them to process.

The “family” doesn’t pack the vehicle. I do. That means it will be secure, efficiently packed, heavy stuff on bottom, and all that.
That part of the process takes less than 20 minutes. I do not want to stand out there and sweat this time of year before we ever leave the driveway. This means a lot of stuff goes in the vehicle the night before.
Now, packing bags and staging stuff in an area of a house and lists, etc….that takes days.
My idea of vacation is having everything and not having to go to the store because we forgot something.

Factory smokes are a good quality cigar at an excellent price point to start at.
You learn by trying things that have been kept in good environmental conditions (a monitored humidor) and a good cigar guy at a reputable shop can make educated recommendations if you have smoked something you like.

I am horribly allergic. Go get the shots. Bathe with Dawn. Wash everything you can that you came in contact with, also in Dawn. Wash your sheets every day in Dawn.
Do not waste time with anything over the counter. Stuff is unphased by OTC products.
I always always have to get at least a 2nd round of shots, and sometimes a 3rd with heavier doses than normally prescribed.
Poison Sumac is exponentially worse that poison ivy and what I have the blessing of having in my flower beds. I’m love to dispose of all of it and have at least 18 inches bulldozed up and carted off to the woods.

Edited to add that I have started just throwing away all clothing I wore for that type of yard work. I can’t throw away my boots but I have new gloves every time to put that particular pair of boots on. Throw my gloves away also.

Our first house had a 2 car carport. We had not accumulated all the extra stuff like a drink refrigerator, extra freezer, golf cart, zero turn, etc, and could actually park both vehicles in the carport. One of us pulled in and the other backed in, creating the most space between the two vehicles so both drivers could exit easier and load/unload with more room.

He could use an app like DocScan and make a pdf of each page. I use that particular app quite a bit with my line of work. It’s free.
Email the pages to himself in groups. I delete after a time and start over with my individual PDFs so I don’t know how many it would hold before deleting became imperative. You can crop and straighten easily and do multiple pages in a group.
It would be tedious but then he would have the book.

And not listed are all my local sports follows which wouldn’t apply to most.

Not cause I appreciate it EVER getting stuck in my head, but…..Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl). The people at my house love this song.
Nails on a chalkboard!

I have pure silver spoons (6 in total) that my maternal grandmother’s family hid during the war. My grandmother was an only child but not the only grandchild. She said HER grandmother didn’t want them split up and gave them to her before she died. And that was a big family secret because people knew they existed and didn’t know what happened to them. She never said anything about it to anyone but maybe my grandfather, because she kept them in the safe.

She told me all this a couple years before she passed away and gave them to me (as the oldest grandchild). She kinda looked around like she might get “caught” passing them to me. It was funny and sweet at the same time. Lord I miss that lady!

So now I have to pass them on to my oldest grandchild to keep the “skip a generation” thing going, if I don’t have them made into special jewelry pieces. I would love to have something made for my mom but then I would have to explain all of this and maybe answer to my aunt….and I definitely don’t want to do that!
