Today’s question: Do you watch podcast? I love to watch other podcast and watch several. A while back I watched a Ninja Chickens podcast and I guess I got to subscribe to it and then forgot about it. I then had it pop up on suggested things to watch on youtube. I saw that I was very very behind, so as I laid in bed and watched them. I  could not sleep from the massive dose of cortisone I had injected the day before so I just watched. Maria, the host of Ninja Chickens did a walk through of her land and things she grew. You can watch that here.…

This is about the only time I ever really knitted or crafted in either cabin besides in the bed. Hello my name is Kim and it is currently 5:36 pm on May 27, 2017. We have been home for roughly 20 hours. We should have only been home for 3 hours at this point.  Recently my family and I took a very much needed trip t the Smoky Mountains, one that I have been looking forward to all year long.  We have been vacationing in the Smoky Mountains for 12 consecutive years.  I have never written a huge post about a trip before but I wanted to share my recent…

We had lost power yesterday afternoon around 7 pm and it was not restored to almost 10 today. We still do not have internet or home phone so I am writing this in the school pick up line. We had some big tress blow down, limbs etc but are fine. We have been preparing for another round of storms to hit this evening. I hope we do not lose power again but we are in an area that is not a  priority. I…
