what is a duvet??

don't forget the after dinner rolls(toliet paper) to figure a years supply 0ne roll per person per week.

we can our own water. i can water when doing the canning to fill up the canner when there isn't enough of the other also in the winter when the air gets dry in the house it adds .

moisture back into the house as will as warm it up.

oh,almost forgot, everytime i empty a bleach bottle, i fill it with water. we have been without power for up to a week before and those bleach bottle of water sure help keep it clean.

I have a book around here some where that tells how much of what to store per person for a year. it takes ages in. don't know where it is right now. but it is here some place.

this is good news... please keep us posted on your son. he is in my prayers too.

thanks for all the info... i live in a small area. don't know if they have any kind of dog show around but did fine out one of the feed stores in the area has some one who works there who might be of some help. I will be loading up on film.

my dog is a Saint Barnard. she is kind of spoiled. we sure love her. I just started getting her to pull for me; I needed help in getting the hay and feed out to the critters in this deep snow and she did a surprisingly great job. she show true to her breed. now i am bragging. sorry.

hmmmmmm

love poetry

hmmmmmm

the boys scout manuel...where there is no doctor by david werner ... I also have carla e book a very good book ... Back to basic put out by reader diegest... the scriptures...the audubon society field guide to (what ever plant life where you live) to learn a new language.

:mad you all might want to delete this but here goes....

I caome from an abusive childhood and there as a lot to over come... yes I was on meds But Thank God no more. One of those things that was done was the burn thing...or throw out of the boat to learn to swim (which i never did, almost drown though) OOOOH!!!!! NO ONE has the right to hurt any child. NO ONE!!! I was a strict parent ask my DD and she will tell you that, but to hurt her NO WAY! We heat with a wood stove and with the grand babies we wouuld watch them very close and let them know ouch..hot.. and if one like the grandson did went to touch it scared me so bad that I screamed NO. and in turn it scared him so bad that he cried and I hugged but he never tried that again. We as adults should make it as safe as we can for the child and teach them what will hurt them. I've done the chair thing before too, As for the MIL here is a suggestion... tell her how you feel about this, if you can't talk to her (and I understand how your DH feels) write her. writing her will help you to get this out of your system, you might have to write more then one letter to get it right... and will give her how you feel in writing and she can refer to it after she gets over her first mad to see what you are saying. keep a copy.

Good luck and God bless and lead you in raising your children.

clip clip clip ..... cute

westbrook... do you have dogs? what kind? what ones are you looking to show? I would like to show also but don't really know much about it or how to begain... well i have a dog.

understand...

we all need to trust God in all things... Go to him for all things...say our prayers, ask our questions ... and then most important listen ... stay still and listen. one of my fav verses is "be still and know that I am God" don't ask me where it is at, for i don't remeber. All I can tell any one about talking to the children about all that is going on around us is to share what has been done in our family... As we where growing up, we where taught survial. What if games... we camp learn how to make fire, winter camp... learn to track... learn how to handle a gun, a lot of how to's ... how to make something from nothing... how to take one tater and feed four.. how to take a rag and make a sunday go to meeting dress.... etc.... we never really did with out but we didn't have all the name things either till we got old enough to buy our own...

Now my DD has a family of her own and those children can tell you how to stay warm in a snow strom... what to do if ....

they learn as a family... while doing family things like camping...having family nights together... talking openly about what is happening.... when you teach your children how to camp.. i mean really camp .. what to do if a fire.. tornado or any of the other natural disasters you have just taught them some of what to do if there is a promblem... we talk to our children about what to do if a stranger apporaches them.. etc...you teach them part of what to do... In my family right down to the 8 mos old grand child we all have what is called a 72 hour kit. and in it is all that would be needed to survial in case of.... you can make a game out of it a learning game of what if... and teach your children what to do what if we lost all our power cause of a stroam ...

ok enough of my mouth.....

just keep praying and listening to HIS spirit. And in His words fear not....
