It all sounds reasonable. The only problem is I should have started it after my first c-section. Now it's been 6 years since my second one and my stomach muscles are nil. So I need to start at the very beginning. Sometimes I will sit and suck in my gut and hold it for a little while. Is that anything like Kegels?

Mag we will be sitting here wondering which recipe route you choose.. And eagerly await the results.. Hope it turns out and that your Mama is pleased with your efforts!

Wow Hill I am very humbled by your post! Your too sweet! Buttercup.....

I'm with Unike and seldiesgirl! I know what I am doing and have the list made, now it's just getting to walmart this weekend to get supplies! Whooohoooooo!!!!!

CatsSurvival@groups.msn.com If you want to join you have to ask Cat to ok your registration! Hey still waiting on details about baby Luke's entrance to the world! Love, Buttercup

Honestly though how many of ya'll do them?

Creamed cabbage or cabbage rolls, cottage cheese with sliced tomatoes, boiled cabbage, red bean soup?

Howdy ya'll! Ok I have a question.. Once all the harvesting has been done and our homesteads are laid to rest quietly until spring (except for the animals) What are your plans? Do you intend to read that book? Maybe start and finish a quilt? Extra baking? Just enjoying family time? Sleep a little extra? I have a quilt I intend to get finished. And work a little more on the afaghan I started last winter. I always read more. Then I dream over the seed catalogs that come in right after Christmas! I love the holidays, and decorating my house and the expectations of my family over that big dinner! So now tell me what you want to do this winter as the land lies dormant..... Buttercup!

Hi DeeKay!! Welcome to our home! Wow I can't believe all the new folks that are signing up! How fun!

Wow Cat you were up really early this morning! GOOD MORNING! Sounds like you did have exhausting weekend! We cleaned up the farm a bit. We have an insurance man coming today to look at the house for homeowners insurance. The yard looks much better! We finally got license and insurance on the van and the other 2 cars. I had forgotten to pay the premiums in June so they cancelled it. UGH. It took Dh's whole paycheck this weekend to do all that we need, I spent 66 dollars at dollar general and 55 dollars at the grocery store. Thank goodness I get paid today.. I had to borrow ten dollars from dd just to get gas last night in my van. I tell ya ten in that thing just doesn't go far! DD and I straightened up the house as bit as the menfolk were outside playing on the backhoe and cleaning up outside. Still have some more to do though. I need to get the garden fall plowed. And we need to start on the wood supply. Hunting season starts this weekend here in Illinois. Well that's bow hunting anyway. I am so glad that my husband isn't into that type of thing. I know guys that live around us that it totally consumes them this time of year. I am sitting here at the table this morning and we have 4 kittens in the house. They are all playing like crazy! Silly little things. Oh yeah I made a peach pie yesterday man it was good. Think I will go have a piece! LOL. Take care ya'll have a great day!

Hamburger Gravy over biscuits for dinner. At night Hamburger steaks with greenbeans and carrots, with a cream gravy to go over the top of the steaks. Lets see you could make bread, rolls, tortilla shells, you name it.. There have been plenty of times where I have made something out of "nothing"...

Oh Shannon Luke is adorable! DO you mind if I post his pic on Cats site for everyone to see? He is precious! Thanks for letting me know you were ok.. Love and Hugs to all of you! Dawn

Hey ya'll has anyone heard from Slgrubbs lately? She's been on my mind and I hadn't seen her on here or recieved any emails or instand messages from her...

Westie Dear! You haven't been postin much lately. Where ya been? What cha got cooking?

Snowy I thought you had my addy so I didn't send it... Ok PMing now.....

Welcome Goatee and Judy! Now I have a question is Goatee because of your beard of because you like goats??? My hubby goes by the nickname of olebillygoat.. Although he's not registered here... MmM Snowy can I have some???

Wow that sounds incredibly awesome!!!!

Thank you Hill for letting us know how you were. I will continue to pray for you.

You would think that with my husband being a certified Diesel Ag mechanic he could figure out why it's so darn hard to start. Hmmm maybe diesel is the key word here.

Has anyone heard from Hill? I am worried for her..

Awesome Bobbie!!! I remember the excitment of buying our first house when I was 18.. I was pregnant with the twins, it was a huge old farm house I loved it. Too bad it was in the middle of town. We are in our 3rd one now.We have rented many a time, I know the pleasure you get from finally having something you can plant roots in. God bless! Let us know what happens! Buttercup

Can I do kegels and bagels?

Is next Thursday October 1st? Or September 30th? Oh who knows? My days seem to run together anymore. Did ya'll have a good night last night? I must have slept pretty good because I don't remember much of it. Today I don't have to go in to work until 10:30. Trying to decide whether to take a nap, read a book or play online. I really need to start another load of laundry. DH has to work Saturday and Sunday. Can't pass up that over time when it's offered! Well just wanted to say a quick mornin to ya'll. Take care. Buttercup

Can you believe this month is nearly gone?? How's everyone's winter preps coming.. Are you ready? I say a big no to that one! Another full day at work today. I know what I do isn't all that hard but geesh! I need a week day off just to clear my head and catch up on laundry while no children are here. It's another beautiful clear day here. 50 degress right now. I love it!! I saw Saturday's low would be in the 40's.. Nice enough to start the fireplace! Oh btw I just wanted to comment on one of us needing some prayers lifted high.. Hillbillie.. She's hurting and I think if even if you aren't a praying person that even words of friendship and love would help her... How about a (((((GROUP HUG))))) for HILL!!!!!!! Off to get the girls ready for school and then to work! Ya'll take care and have a great day!

Westie you've seen my picture. I'd rather do a bagel! Someone pass me the cream cheese!
