    I am far older than you but love the “I can make that” attitude!! It’s my way from wood, fabrics, food. Anyone can buy something, not everyone gets the satisfaction of doing it themselves. Thinking out the box is the way to go!!!

      @@stephencoppernoll4223 yes, skin damage is as bad as tropical sun if no gloves on. Also danger of metal spark embedding under skin. Protective equipment should be provided and all boys told to wear it.
      Getting taught a skill has to include the full safety aspect, even if just in a 'home' environment.

    Watching you and Buggy out planting warmed my heart, Meg. It reminded me of when my daughter was that age. I planted some things, but my mom was the one who was always outside with her digging for worms (because why not!?), planting things, etc. To this day, it's some of my favorite memories, looking out the window as I made iced tea or lemonade and seeing my little girl getting dirty with Nanny. I jokingly used to say that the only part of her body that wasn't filthy was whatever was covered by clothing, but that wasn't even a guarantee if watering was involved! You will look back at these videos in 20 years and love seeing her toddling around helping 😂
    I'll never stop saying how much you impress me, Ben with your ability to make something from nothing. Your skills are off the chart. It's a true blessing to your boys to have such a great teacher, role model and dad as well as a momma that loves her family so truly, is so smart and such a great, talented person. You ask your kids 20 years from now how they thought their childhoods were and I assure you they will tell you how lucky they are.

    It was great seeing the boys weld and Buggy planting. Also her signing was GREAT! Taught my son early early, when we found out he had a hearing lose. My daughter carried it on and taught all 4 of her boys. The ability to communicate at a young age is priceless, especially if they are upset/crying and can't verbalize. Great job y'all. Luv you all 🌻🤟🌻

Ben, if you have a scrap yard that is close buy sometimes they have all sorts of metal that they will sell you at a very low price. If you can build it and involve the boys you have succeeded over and beyond. Thanks for the idea on the old shop broom, Our goats will love that also. God bless.

    In the Netherlands we have “smeerkaas” which sounds like what you were describing. It is sold in tubs and it literally means “smear cheese” as you can spread it on bread, and yes it is kind of like the artificial cheese sauce but thicker. There is a extra mature version, personally I think it’s the best one. I was born in Gouda, city of cheese 😊
