Happenings on the Homestead in the Appalachian Mountains

Weekend Coffee Share
 

Hello there Adventurous Friends & Family, greetings from Georgia. How you doing this 52nd & final week of 2023? On Christmas day it rained all day with temperatures in the mid 50s. There were reports of power outages in our area due to the wind, but we never lost power. Our Christmas supper was squirrel dumplings & sweet tea along with classic no-bake cookies that I threw together last minute. We spent the day relaxing, eating, watching Christmas movies & registering a boat.  Yeap, Kevin got us a boat for Christmas. Grab a coffee or your favorite beverage & I'll tell you about the 2 surprises we got for Christmas. Rumor has it that we're supposed to get a BIG snow over the weekend, one compared to the Blizzard of 93, so I'll fill you in on that next week, come walk with me...







A before picture of the boat. Kevin is working
 on doing some revamping. We brought the
boat home then went straight to Walmart's 
boat accessories department. The new
 seats are already in place.

*  Our 2 Christmas surprises....

We're expecting our 10th Grandbaby in June.




























We're expecting our 1st Great-Grandbaby in August.
































Kevin is very pleased with the
colors of eggs we're getting.  He
choose the varieties of chickens
on purpose to get all these different
 colors of eggs...blue, green, cream, 
brown.

These are some of the things going on in my neck of the woods, how has your week been?
The things I ordered for the new Grands
arrived, the babies are going to love these.
Kevin has plenty of time to put them together.
