Jan reminded me to post the recipes, which I should do each Sunday. I am starting Weight Watchers on Thursday. I worked so hard to lose that 35 pounds in the spring, and damn it a third of it did not find its way back. I gave away all my clothes so I will either [...]

Rainy, ugly day. Good day to make soup. I am doing Trisha Yearwood’s Chicken Tortilla Soup and Hamburger Vegetable, with turkey instead of beef. I will add photos as the day goes on.
I finally figured out that the reason my bread did not work was that the flour was old. I used some new [...]
Not complaining….I love errands, I really do. I have to go get some fabic because ….get this…..I sold a rug on Etsy. (Etsy.com is a place you sell hand made goods. It is where we got the flowers for Kno Nutz.) I SOLD A RUG!!! And not any rug….a four foot one! I need to [...]
School has started, and I am exhausted. Yesterday I came home, sat in the recliner and woke up an hour later. I just passed out. My soup idea is still going strong. I alternated between the Roasted Tomato and Garlic and the Thicker than Fog Pea Soup this week. I gave some away, froze some, [...]
I have decided to make a different soup each Sunday. That way I will have something good to take for lunch during the week. I find if I eat a hearty lunch I don’t eat as much junk after lunch.
If you have any great soup recipes that do not include beef or pork (unless I [...]
When Sue was here for her visit, we took the Grey Line Trolley tour. My friend Tena is a guide, and I had previously taken the tour minus a camera. Tena’s tour is GREAT!!!
I just never quite understand this sign. Are they warning you there are slow children in the area, or are they asking [...]
My friend from New Jersey, Sue, was here for a visit. We thought it would be fun to go see the the elk in the Cataloochee Valley near Asheville. The brochure said sighting was best early in the morning or later in the evening, so we got up really early and left before seven.
It was [...]
Sometimes odd things happen at Possum Manor. Once in a while I am lucky enough to actually have the camera when it happened.
Pippin stalks the chickens. I have plastic draped over the outside of the coop to protect the chickens from the sun and rain. I have the food in that area too, so it [...]
We got two eggs yesterday! We are so excited. Butter Bean will not begin laying to at least November, if not later. The Black Beans, Big and Little, must feel at home here, as we did not expect eggs within a week of moving them around. They did not attempt to sit [...]
Today we headed out to the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area for our traditional white trash (or as Ann puts it caucasian rubbish) day. It is less than a two hour drive, and we go and walk through the awful gift shops and watch the people on the bungie jump.
So we left about 7:30 AM, top down, [...]
