Oh we are really excited about it! We're lucky to have a homeschooling mom that also owns a working and demonstration farm. They are one of the largest produce farms around and are famous for their peach groves.
They also had tons of apple trees and you may recall we went to pick apples a few weeks ago. The apple orchard field trip.
They also have taken all those huge round bales of hay and made a fairly elaborate maze for the kids to play in.
The local peach festival is nice...with free peaches and ice cream. The first time we went I was expecting Joshua and we enjoyed the little festival, but on the way home we noticed literally hundreds of cars turning and going down this unmarked country road like off into nowhere. Looked just like "Field of Dreams" you know? Anyway I turned to Steve and said "Let's see where all these cars are going!" We found they were going to this farm. You took a number and waited till the farm workers drove up with a huge truckload of peaches, mostly 1/2 bushels. Then they'd call out numbers until they ran out and then you waited for the next truckload to come in. They were literally picking the peaches and selling them as fast as could haul them in from the orchard.

That sounds like a grand time, 2Jedismom!

Mmmm...peaches! One of these days I need to get some (though the ones we get up this way have a tendency to be small and sad!) and make a peach pie. I've been hankering for that...
(And now bacon and flapjacks!)

Honestly, I've never tried. Everytime I've eaten venison, someone else has prepared it.
But I figure after a 6 hour marinade in Spanish style mojo, and another 6 hours cooked covered in the oven at 300 degrees, then basted with honey and garlic the last hour (uncovered), the meat will taste fabulous and be as tender as can be.

I was up 'til after 2:30am because of you.
When you described your redoing your bathroom I told my wife we could redo ours, she's been wanting to for a long time now. She had started stripping the wallpaper last week but only go a little bit done.
Last night while they were at AWANA I decided to help her out and finish the big wall. That was at 7:30pm. Finally, at 2:30am I had finished the whole bathroom.
Next, we paint. ;^)

I need to do the next stage of my office project this weekend. Though I admit I'm more intimidated now...all the talk of damaging drywall, and I'm not sure what the condition of the drywall in that room really is! I don't think it's perfectly punture free, even BEFORE I started on it. So now I'm a bit scared that this isn't going to work out as well as I thought...
I guess I COULD always just do the best I can and hope the paint covers and sticks, but I'm worried now!
To: Overtaxed; carton253
No, but I do have a tin of sardines in olive oil.
Don't ruin breakfast with that fishy smell though! Here, I'll open the can and you can take it over by the river. Smeagol can eat them under the bridge where the sun won't bother him.

You providing the venison haunch, g'nad?
Why do I get the impression that the basic plan for Entmoot is basically eat, watch movie, eat WHILE watching movie, play music, eat, watch movie, sleep, get up, eat, watch movie, etc.?
To: RosieCotton
basic plan for Entmoot is basically eatYikes! What a lousy sentence THAT is!
To: RMDupree
Thank you kindly.
A whole tin of .... what are these?.... Ack! They are so small. You trickses, Smeagol! Fishes are big. Not these poor little things. They don't even make up one fishses!
To: RosieCotton; RMDupree; ksen; HairOfTheDog; All
You bet I'll provide the haunch... my pleasure!

I was listening to BBC's version of LoTR last night while I was stripping the wallpaper in the bathroom. When we got to "Mt. Doom" Frodo decided to keep the Ring. Gollum came in, found Frodo, and bit the Ring off of Frodo's hand, finger and all.
After Gollum(Smeagol was long gone by then) got the Ring he did a flitty Gollum dance. Wouldn't you know, he flitted himself right over the edge and down into the Cracks of Doom(tm).
Moral of the story: Be extremely careful when doing flitty dances, especially when you are inside Mt. Doom.
