My van was out of commission for a month and I was confined to home with the kids. Part of me didn't mind, and the other part couldn't wait to get out of the house! The van is finally fixed and I will no longer take it for granted. How nice it is to take the whole family out again! I'm glad that you and the family are loving the van, and yes, debt sucks.jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11419676.post-27430730432613407612009-10-19T08:48:53.858-05:002009-10-19T08:48:53.858-05:00renee, there was a bumper crop of walnuts around h...renee, there was a bumper crop of walnuts around here last year. so-much-so that it drove walnut prices down for this year too.<br /><br />wendy, you'd like pigs, albeit they stink. they have to be far enough from the house, ours are as close as we'd ever want them. the waste that they happily consume is gratifying in itself. then there is all the benefits, bacon, chop, tenderloin, roasts, sausage and lard glorious-lard.Omelayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084221498316008069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11419676.post-74013253735758429952009-10-19T07:58:09.944-05:002009-10-19T07:58:09.944-05:00We've been collecting acorns, too.

We have a bucketful for ourselves, and an equally-sized bucket for the chickens. I'm thinking it's too bad we don't have pigs :).<br /><br />As for wood - we have about seven cords and are hoping it will be enough. We started last winter with ten and had a lot left over. Guess we'll see. We're trying not to have a fire when it's above 50° outside.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04642417312794814066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11419676.post-72403657172220567762009-10-19T07:19:54.752-05:002009-10-19T07:19:54.752-05:00We have been collecting black walnuts...I am conce...We have been collecting black walnuts...I am concerned that it will be a bad winter.. last years walnuts were few and far between this year we have never seen so many:)<br /><br />I knew you would love your van..Gods ways are always best and you and your family are now safe to drive and not to worry about a break down...but I agree debt is bad!<br /><br />Renee<br /><br />KyReneehttp://gardendesk.comnoreply@blogger.com
