Did It!

 Did It!

 

One of the ladies from Britain suggested a way to use phyllo dough to make a neat meal. So, the old woman tried doing something totally unlike anything put together around here before! Used frozen, buttered spinach (the steamed in the package kind), two different kinds of cheese (feta and shredded cheddar), five eggs, yellow and red bell peppers, half an onion, mushrooms, and lots of hope. It turned out pretty doggone good! Lance would not even listen to the list of ingredients after onion was mentioned. Silly kid!

 

Like anything that the old woman does, this little investment in veggies and such ended up being more than one person could eat in more than three meals. SO, John Rhoads came by to pick up eggs and left with two dozen eggs and one container of my stuff that needs a name—let’s call it veggie surprise! Anyway, we will see if he and Mary like it. John brought me a Back Forty calendar and a couple of heads of cabbage plus some goodies in the empty cartons. Kinda neat! Mary sent a text and asked for the recipe.

 

Heard from Sharon Dickerson and got to learn about the two dogs and the mailbox that someone knocked over. Kids, probably. But if David puts a heavy metal post in cement, some kid is going to have a surprise. Sharon seems so happy now. So glad for her.

 

The hens produced a dozen eggs today. Now they are all fastened up in their coops and accounted for—nine in the middle coop and twelve in the first coop! Lots of happy hens! They entertain me and probably some of the neighbors with their singing. The songs most often sung include: “I laid it, I laid it!” and “Cabbage, cabbage, got any cabbage?”

 

Michelle Malay called and was talking about seeing Reece’s graduation picture. She wanted to know what his degree was in, and the old woman had no idea what it is called. Probably a “Getter Done” degree.

 

Thompson just asked to be fed. Yes, the kibble is always out, so he definitely wanted something else. Opened a can of whatever that stuff is and put it in his bowl. Finally told him it was that or nothing. So, he is eating it. My critters are not spoiled even a tiny bit!

 

Wishing that all the fighting and hatefulness in this world would cease, but know that won’t happen until God puts a stop to it. Until then, may we be grateful for His grace and love.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
