I’m glad the hens are feeling more relaxed now. Poor things!
It’s FINALLY gotten above zero here in northern Colorado.
Our daughter lives in Kansas and last week she sent a picture of the egg shelves in their closest grocery store. They had about four 18 count cartons on the entire set of shelves. Milk was gone entirely.
Now I have to go get some...
Syrup!
Bl*st, back to w*!m&rt, again! LoL.
My teenagers eat a lot of eggs.
Oh, that is rich! lol!!
Oh geez. He should be about too old for that by now!
LOL!!
Actually, I do. Just got back from the Food Lion. Never seen a grocery store so busy. And yes, I picked up some Palmetto Cheese!
So what time does A l Gore land in Columbia?
When I was in the Navy a petty officer told a seaman to go find him a henway.
The kid asked “What’s a henway?”
The petty officer said “Oh, about 3 or 4 pounds.”
That will make everything OK.
Southern Comfort food.....
(no, NOT the liquid kind)
Don't forget the Peanut Butter & Banana sandwiches, either.
We picked some up during my last visit to Myrtle Beach.
It was the Jalapeno variety. Mmmm! Mmm!
I went to Ingles, Food Lion, Wally World and Dollar General Market today here in the upstate. I didn’t even bother getting out of the car. I assume that is what it will look like when the SHTF.
That's hysterical Just forwarded it to my brother in Fort Mill. Good stuff.
