Amishway Homesteaders

Hello-

Just to much going on right now so taking a break from here for a bit.

will be back when things slow down again?

~Michael~

. . . . Well that got me thinking.

Thanks

SO maybe - just maybe this might be a good leason for what MIGHT happen when things go south?

All the downloads you have saved for when TSHTF and need NOW are NOT going to be usable right when you need them the most!

Good reason to have files to 2 places and even hard copies of the ones you think you will need FAST!

Going to have Lori check that site out-

Thanks

oops!

I think this is in the wrong plase?

please move it to within theses pages.

thannks

Remember 'out of gas'?

Now second book 'the farm's is free!

Go....... get.......enjoy

AH's ... do you save the notes or what?

Well'.............

At first yes, but now they get flushed.

Just went (3:30 am) and the note said 'wake me up' SO I did and Lori turns over and says 'it SAID wipe me butt! oh, never mind. . .

= = this is NOW getting just plain SILLY! = = = =

came home from work the othe day to find a note "written" on my roll of totel paper from Lor 'thanking me' for putting up the other holder so we don't have 1 on and 1 on sink. SOOOOOOO of cause I had to write back to her on her roll - "your welcome dear XOX"!

So now we are leaving notes for each other on the first sheet as we pass in the night!

and THAT is what makes it fun to live here together.....................................

 

Wait a minute, there are actually men who know how to install a new roll of toilet paper on the holder?!?

 

He didn't say he CHANGES it, just that both now have their own rolls....

 

 

:24:

 

Oh come on . . . . .

so easy to change- I just look at the paper Lori drew that is taped next to the holder with arrows showing me how to do it and how I have to make sure the round thingy is IN the slots the right way so the next person that pulls doesn't end up with the roll on the floor unrolling as it goes to the other side of the room so you can't reach it to use it!

Lori sandwiches are cut square - mine are ALWAYS on a angle. Make it easy to see who's is who's when on the road and I have chicken salad and Lori has egg salad.

cotton in summer - flannel in winter . . .no problem NOW who gets the most covers? I ALWAYS lose!

no TV so no problem there LOL but we sometimes read the same book with 2 bookmarks?

we will not get into food cooking! because I want to stay here.

What makes a good Marriage you might ask?

Not fighting over the little things in Life would be high up on that list!

WELL ,here at the Amishway Homestead after years of having an almost totally happy life I (Michael) am calling an end to fighting over the little things. That right friends I am done with it! NO MORE!

I have just installed a second toilet paper holder in the Bathroom!
Now She can have her ‘cottenelle soft’ on HER toilet paper holder ! And I can have my ’ Scott 1000 sheets’ on my toilet paper holder!
of cause MINE is the top one!

LIFE IS GOOD AGAIN!

....... that was fun !

Sorry I mean :

7H47 W45 FUN!

still use and LOVE our wringer washer! bought used 15 years ago from a lady that had it forever so we are happy. It runs on electric now but has the pully to hook up to a motor is needed. Also have a few stand along wringer that I have on stands or washtubs when we are "pioneering it".

Also have that little guy 'wonder washer' that sits on table - man can that guy wash clothes!

now if you can't find aset of good wringer look in thrift shops etc. for an old mop bucket with the wringers - Just take the top part off and use them. YES I have one of those too. LOL

Yup!

I found it after Lori remembered one of the names.

Thanks for the help....

Now to get the library to buy them so we can watch. LOL

thanks Cat.......................

not the post we wanted but a good start.

Mt_Rider had a list of links to the other ones on some thread?

we just can't find it....................

~Lori~

Time to do this

Got the farm book for Lori's "New kindle !"

What's for Supper?

when for a walk along vegetable garden paths - some tomatoes, 2 ears of corn, a bunch of string beans, 1 big red onion, 3 stalks celery, and something else (I forogt)? - back inside to skin tomatoes and chop up, cut corn off cob, chop up beans and onion. Throw everything in crockpot adding a bit of water. Come home 3 1/2 hours later to a wonder smell? THICK SOUP for Supper after adding herbs and broth.
Now THATS fresh!

It was fun to walk and see what I could add to the basket that would all cook together to make something.
homemade gralic bread to go with it! (yes home made bread and garlic from garden ).

Steamed Fish , wraped in tinfoil,like that years ago and it wasn't that bad (back in my other Live!)

Anybody old enough to remember the very old days when you could travel from state to state-

You put your meat (seasoned) in tinfoil and then put on your engin e block and when you got to the camp site Dinner was ready to eat!
also put potoes and onions on the same way but had to stop and take them off so they didn't burn? Can't remember how many miles you had to drive?
.... ..... .......

Thanks Mt_Rider got them both!

Good Morning – just another Saturday for us with a few things going on? Like 2 Auctions! 1 Big Yard Sale! Also Amish Checking up on the way. Yesterday we went to both Auction Houses to get our numbers, claim our seats and check out what was going up for auction. First off today is a Postage Stamp Auction (along with coins but stamps go first) from 9am – 10:30. Fast checkout and we are off to the next Auction 30 miles away that starts at 10 am but as we know the owner he is holding stuff back we want to bit on until we get there at 10:45 (ish). That Auction should be over around 2 pm and then we race over to a big “Storage Garage Type Units” that is having their Annual “you didn’t pay rent” Sale, 25 miles the other way. We love going to these as they aren’t out to make money, just get what the back rent was due. So things go cheap! Some other people that have units there also open up and have mini garage sales that day as well. And seeing we are getting there at the end WE MAKE DEALS! Then head back home but stopping at Amish Farm as some are leaving to go to PA., then the Amish Lady we worked for at the Greenhouse is back for the day visiting and we were invited to Supper (6pm) with her and family. Finally back home to unpack all the treasures we got and put stamps away (Youth Stamp Club starts back up soon). Flea Market stuff must be marked with prices and put in storage, and anything we get for us must find a home. So you see JUST a normal day for us on a slow Saturday with the Amishway Homesteaders! LOL

Still doing it and so far no side effects.........................

WTHJSMALITM = what the heck just send me a letter in the mail!

............................ there goes Lori's shelving unit in the pantry! LOL
