He is staying snuggled on the electric blanket on our bed. His long fur is beautiful but it soaks up muddy water like a cotton ball. He wears the hated sweater when we go out for a walk. I will tell him you think he is a handsome devil. He will agree.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333123227073032453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424277252952787351.post-86868493240826953282018-12-15T15:29:47.481-06:002018-12-15T15:29:47.481-06:00That scooter is a handsome devil.

Looking at the date on Jonas Chairs' tombstone, one can assume he may have been born a slave. Their birth dates were usually not recorded. All of the slaves were freed by Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. Jonas died 36 years later.

Hopefully he's well. Anyway, let him know Rob has been praying for him. <br /><br />I hate spending money on medical expenses--I'd much rather plan a trip to Disneyland. But, still I'm grateful that we have good medical help at this point in our lives. I'm afraid we are falling apart some days:). Well, I'm going to get myself down to Pilates this morning. Hopefully, I will be able to hobble out of the class afterwards without medical assistance:). I didn't get any extra exercise this weekend, except one small walk, since chasing children doesn't count! So, I will be stiff afterwards. I am the absolute worst in the class, but keep going because it helps me when I keep it up regularly! <br /><br />You have a great day!Beckyhttps://beckyathome.wordpress.com/2018/12/10/thriving-in-my-thrifty-week-december-9-2018/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424277252952787351.post-63342850998994759062018-12-10T20:03:55.751-06:002018-12-10T20:03:55.751-06:00I would be terrified to try and burn any of the pi...I would be terrified to try and burn any of the piles. The only water source for an emergency are the creeks at the bottom of the steep hill. We only took pictures of the hilltop area because it was raining. I could not climb down then back up the hill in the mud. I would like to return later and get pictures of the creek area. <br /><br />I don't think we will be replanting because there are still so many trees left. It will probably be too shady. <br /> <br />The money will come in handy. It will be going toward medical expenses.

Th...I'm so happy that you could log your land. That was one thing that really saved our bacon when we moved--we logged the 4 acres that were in forest before we put it on the market, and left the large piles for the new owners to deal with after trying all winter to burn them. We simply could not. One went down, but the others were too wet. There were many rules dealing with burning, and we followed them, but there was absolutely no danger of a forest fire, with how wet things were. In fact, on the last Thanksgiving we spent on that place, that's what we had the family do--burn piles after the Thanksgiving dinner. It was different, anyway, as entertainment goes:). But, it was a real blessing to have that money during such a lean time in our lives, and trees will grow back. We also had the entire property planted with little trees before we left, as the law in Oregon requires.
