FARM MEAT!!!!!

Last night I went to a homeschool meeting. The speaker used to be a VP at Gateway, but was now a SAHM and living on a farm. She used to live right around the corner from Z's basketball home court (in a very fancy house). She told us about grass-fed beef, free-range chickens and free-range pigs. They raise their own meat. They even have dairy cows and drink only raw milk. She told us all about the horrible things that industrial farmers do to their animals (and thus the food they produce). Her chickens, eggs, beef and pork do not taste like anything you buy in the store. Her eggs are $3 a dozen (which is cheaper than free-range eggs in the grocery store around here). If I had the money, if we didn't have to drive to Kenosha, WI, to get the meat, and if I had room, I might be tempted to go hog wild (excuse the expression). Do you think I have room in my little freezer?


Thankfully, my freezer will feed us for several weeks. Maybe my next load of food should come from their farm. Not likely, but it is a nice thought.

PRESENTS!!!!!

Here is your Christmas present to Zachary in full force! He has been working on the guitar for about two hours a day (sometimes more). He LOVES it!!!!! Thanks so much for giving us something to listen to, ha!

Zachary says: "I can play the whole song, but that would take six years to upload."

FINALLY!!!!!

Do you think winter is finally here?


Zachary's basketball tournament was postponed until tomorrow. That means we might be playing two games in a row.

The snow sure looks pretty! The flakes are HUGE!!!!!

TODAY!!!!!

Today is "Fat Tuesday" or "Mardi Gras." We don't usually celebrate holidays like this, but today we splurged.

We were buying milk yesterday and the box of Paczki's jumped into our shopping cart. Who's to argue with that?

Elyse's treat:


Enjoying our "Polish" heritage, ha!


Have a great "Fat Tuesday."
