This year I wanted to learn some new skills. To make more products I use everyday then to get them premade from the grocery store. My first major one was bread. Sourdough and Regular bread, I’m learning.

Sourdough was fun to learn and I am still learning about it. I want to make all my bread products.

My other thing to learn was pasta. I have everything I need for flat pasta but needing to learn the round ones like macaroni and spaghetti. I have learned how to dehydrate my noodles and store them.

Before that I learned how to glass my eggs for when my chickens slowed down in winter, I have 6 full gallons there are around 3dz to a jar. I also store them in the freezer, in freezer bags by 2,4,6, eggs for cooking or baking.

Life throughs everyone a curve everyday, we are no exception to that! This past 4 months have been a challenge. We have family members who have been in life threatening situations. Some still in them. Prayers always welcome. Over the last few weeks we have recieved great news also. One family member has been told his cancer is in remission. Praise God! So life goes on…………………………

Now we are getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving. We have a lot to be thankful for. We plan on remembering how great God has been and will be for years to come. Thanksgiving is a place in my home to give thanks. Not for material things but for life, food on our table,health, but also for growth in knowing God is with us always.
