January 22, 2010 Newsletter #2

            Last week was a nice week and this week is nicer. I am normal this week with all the sunshine. The children went barefooted all week. I thought if the children go barefooted, that would be a sign the weather is nice. But Linda went barefooted to milk the cows when we had all that cold weather.....14 degrees and all! She said the frost felt good on her feet.

           The soil is drying and the farmers are getting in their fields. I don't think there's much of a chance of snow anymore. It was scary there for a while. I found out Texans DO NOT like cold weather! But I also found out Texas gets cold sometimes. As someone said, the only thing between here and Montana is a barbed wire fence and that is down sometimes.

           Thanks for the good sales last week. That helped me be normal, too! It even made the sunshine brighter this week. Maybe it'll be brighter next week. Several months ago....in October, I believe, when we had all that rain..... we didn't see the sun for almost two weeks straight. That was different for Texas! It made it seem brighter when it did show up.

           Popcorn is always good no matter the weather. It's made fresh almost everyday at our house. Usually sometime in the evening I hear the popcorn kettle on the stove. Soon bowls of popcorn get passed around. Popped in Texas Olive Ranch oil! Oh, that's good!! It's like learning what a good cup of coffee taste like and then it's hard to find it just anywhere.

           Recently I heard a friend of mine tell someone he has a formula for life. This is what it is..... Happy wife = Happy life. He seemed genuinely pleased about it and I'm sure he's enjoying the benefits of domestic bliss. There seems to be some secrets to the nuts and bolts of how this works. In his case it was taking firewood home for the fireplace.

           I wanted to be sure to tell you about my birthday supper...... it was fish from “The Shrimp Stop” and it was sooooo good!! We had fish, fried mush, cooked cabbage, hushpuppies, garden fresh turnips, and of course, a cake decorated in John Deere green with one of Mylin's toy tractors on it. It had a loader so they put a pile of our Hot Chocolate mix on it....made it look like it was scooping it up. A good attempt to make it look like my real tractor. It all ended with a great cup of Green Leaf Coffee. All this translates into domestic bliss, too!

           I'm looking forward to seeing all you vendors again. It's good to see you each Saturday, although you customers are the best. :) We plan to be at Firewheel Town Center (Four Seasons Market) on Saturday and the Dallas Farmer's Market on Friday and Saturday.
 


          By the way, we have some new products this week. BethAnn probably won't have them at Dallas on Friday but she is planning on having them there on Saturday and we also plan to have them at Firewheel Town Center on Saturday. Here's two........

1. Sunflower Rye Bread.

2. Monkey Bread.


           These new products are like all the rest of our products, we don't use any preservatives. That means you are eating food that is better for you than store bought stuff.

           And here's a verse to bless you.......Psalms 1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
