New goals!

From Positive Inspirational Quotes :)

 

Greetings from beautiful Colorado!  Ma and Pa are still here, just very much on the go.

About the end of October we picked the last of our tomatoes... and we had a BIG Batch of green ones to care for.

Some of you may not know how that might be done... other than making a bunch of relish or "Chow-chow", which Jim and I really did not want to do. So, we wrapped them in newspaper... and stored them in boxes.

We are now checking them every few days and are canning them as they are ripe.  We put up 12 quarts today!

 

Our frugal goals seem to be rubbing off on our girls as well.  Julie and Micah took their pumpkins they had outside as decorations that were not carved and cooked them off, and now they have plenty of pumpkin pie material for the holidays.  Enough for 20 pies!  Wow!

 

And... what about the title?  New goals?  Well, Jim and I have decided to go house hunting.  We still have the ability to use Jim's VA loan, and checked into it and have been approved!!  So we are now looking.  The major "must have" is a 2 car attached garage that will not actually be used as a garage but our rock shop creation center.  We are preparing for retirement and need a much bigger area to work in.... and a bit bigger home would be great!  So, we will keep you all posted.... can't wait!

 

Looking to the future with a new perspective!

 

Hugs, Ma and Pa

 

 

Hurricane Sandy.

This storm is so big.... 

But not too big for God!

 

 Let your light shine.
 

Lord Jesus, be with each person out there in the path of this storm. Protect them and guide them, and show them YOUR strength.

May each person seek your face and rest in you.

 

Thank you and praise you Lord for your miracles about to happen!

New homemade Laundry cleaning line up.

We have been on the run again.  But am stopping finally to share some thoughts as we go into a new season.

 

I have 4 days off in a row so we are taking advantage of it and catching up on things we needed to be doing.

 

First on the schedule is "mucking" out the house that has been neglected because we have been busy. 

 

As you know I am a fan of natural home made cleaners, when they work and they are not a big hassle to make up to use.  I have posted some of the ones I have used for you to see.  But I have since made some modifications, so I thought I would catch you up on the changes.  I am very happy with them.

Mama hug you babies!

We are so sad here in Colorado. 

 Another angel has been abducted and killed.

 

Jessica Ridgeway.  Read her story here.

 

Please be in prayer for her family and friends, and pray with us that they catch the evil one that has done this.  Westminster is just around the corner from where our family in Northglenn,Colorado live.  We cannot imagine loosing a baby this way.  Lord cradle the family in your loving arms for us who can't right now.

Fall Roundup!

 

From Facebook today.

 

 

 

As we are getting closer and closer to our election, I thought I would share this from Facebook today.  No matter what candidate you are for, If we follow this scripture, we are on the right path! 

 

We are so very busy right now.  We are short of people at work so I am working overtime. Also Pa and I are trying to get our garden all finished up. We actually are running out of canning jars and will need to get more...and next chore is trying to find room in our tiny trailer for all the finished can goods... Lol.  We praise God for his bounty and are so thankful.

 

Fall also brings something very near and dear to this Ma and Pa's heart.  Band shows and competition!  When our girls were in high school we were in the stand yelling and screaming for our girls during their shows. We were band parents, chaperoning the band on trips and so on... great memories!
