    As I struggled with a problem in my life, a trusted friend gave me some perplexing advice. He said I just needed to "grow a pear." I thought, okay, I can do that. So, today I planted 3 pear trees. We'll see.

      That's about like "you should grow and Orchid." That's when you have relationship problems. If you can make it re-bloom you are ready for a relationship. LOL Here's hoping you didn't buy Bradford Pears, they don't produce fruit.

    Ben, for your piggy catching saga. Take a cattle panel and bend in a circle or triangle. Tie ends together. When you want to move the piggies just put it over them and walk them to where you want them to go. Just a thiught that might be easier.

    • @amymartin7508

      Anything like that will work (if it is solid).. close in to move, they run to freedom. (OH, well.. that was a paramount thought.) It takes more than one person for sure. Me.. go for it honey. Him

    Pigs are so awesome! My neighbor’s chicken decided she likes to live here. I named her Dumplin, you know, like chicken and dumplings lol. She sleeps on my front porch, up on my Grandma’s old table. And she has decided to come inside a couple of times. I don’t let her stay long because she’s not potty trained lol. She was so cute, scratching on the floor trying to make a nest, but when she jumped up on the sofa and then on my bed, it was time to go back out. Idk what kind she is but she’s brown. And we talk, I’m like Dump a lin, hey girrrrl, and she answers back in almost the same tone. Just too cute. I should probably make her a nest, maybe she’ll lay me some eggs in trade for all the scraps I give her lol. 😆 ✌🏻🫶🏻

    We have tried to stop Fast Food all together. However, we did have some Saturday. We both got sick. So that just solidified it for us. I'm thankful for my dishwasher because that is the one thing I absolutely hate to do is wash dishes by hand. Probably the only reason I want to eat out is so someone else has to clean up. 😬 We don't live too far from a very good Mexican food restaurant. So we do go there ever so often. I love watching Meg make meals. It inspires me.

IDK if I ever told you guys but my brothers Mom "named" all 3 of my boys her own nicknames. One oldest is buggy, my middle is critter and my youngest is skeeter. When I heard you guys say that her nickname is buggy, I had to put the captions on so see if I was hearing that right. I thought that was cool to have our kids have the same nickname LOL I have all boys so we couldn't get lucky on real names match with her. My older two boys call each other Stinky and stretch. LOL if you know you know!!! They won't call the youngest fatso. They don't want to call him a mean name since he's gonna be 3 next month and still doesn't talk.

    Fast food from home is always the best. My oven is broken at the moment so I've been experimenting even more with foods I can make. I used to make pepper steak in the crock pot or cook in the oven but now I don't have to. I cooked some of my own peppers and onions in the skillet and let them cook until they get a little soft. Then I opened up a couple jars of the beef that I canned, added the broth and some of my home canned tomato sauce. Then added the beef in the skillet. SO GOOD! Just made some potatoes and my home green beans and it was a great meal. Didn't take long at all!

    We make a similar dish here only we add some mustard to the sauce. Not enough to make it hot but enough to give it a kick, delish! Oh. So funny when Ben said the was going to burn his pants! lol
