OK No Pictures...

Yeah, I'm a little frustrated.  I wanted to update all you wonderful people without words two weeks ago.  I was made aware that it didn't work about ten minutes after I left the Internet service.  At this point we are making the choice to not have Internet in our home.  We take the computer into town once a month or so to pay bills and to try catch up electronically with family and friends.  The problem is you can't hurry fast enough and do a proper job.  The big question?  Should I keep trying or give it up?

This summer has flown.  In the last month we've built a barn.  Harvested 100 quart of green beans.  Picked huckleberries, raspberries and made strawberry jam.  I've canned a few pickles.  We cut down three dead trees that we had planted as an experiment. We finished a back sidewalk that we were waiting on because of a trench we needed to dig for an electric line to the barn.  We've painted the barn and the chicken coop to match.  We are getting a few chickens for eggs in a couple days.  We acquired two miniature horses this spring that Bruce and the kids have been working with.  We still have a few things on the house outside we'd like to finish up before winter.  We spent one weekend back in the mountains camping.  That was a lot of fun.   We babysat Olivia and Jemima four days.  That was special.  So life is good...  Busy but good... I wish I could add a few pictures now but I'm on my moms computer and can't get to my pictures here.   My words are boring but hopefully you get a little glimpse into our life...
