    Has anyone ever.....

    Put a jello cool whip pie in the freezer? I was making a jello, cool whip, berry pie, made too much. So luckily I had an extra graham cracker crust, made two pies! I don't think that stuff will freeze nicely! So should I freeze one, or should we just go hog wild and eat them both?

    Frozen turkeys

    Made a quick run through Walmart yesterday 🙄🙄! There were two big freezer bins FULL of LARGE frozen turkeys!! 1.78$ a pound 😮! I always cook a big turkey or two for Thanksgiving and Christmas, sometimes Easter too. There are always plenty of large ones because people want the 10-12lb turkeys. I...

    Meth head incident

    The couple I cleaned for today had a weird guy in their yard the other day! It was about 4:30pm and he was in their backyard picking up sticks. They have a little over an acre, just had a big tree cut at the nextdoor neighbor's that hung over the fence. They thought at first it was one of the...

    Baby Cakes got snake bit

    She was always quite the snake killer! Called her for dinner just a bit ago and she was by the woods edge whooping on a small copperhead. She took it in the woods and came back up just now with a very swollen back leg. Crushed up half a lysine, a quarter of a tramadol, and a quarter of a...

    I got bit by a Copperhead!!

    Picture of my leg coming soon! Happened about an hour ago! Large male, I jumped back fast enough so as the fangs didn't make full contact! Got hit above the ankle. Red swollen leg, VERY painful at bite. Feel kind of numb all over and not quite right!! Updates as the evening unfolds! I will be ok!

    Dips for fruit, veggies, and chips

    Please share your favorite dips. Homemade or doctored up pre-made. A dip I like on carrots and celery is really simple. 8oz sour cream, 1/4 of a packet of ranch dressing mix, 1/4 of an onion finely minced. Mix it all together. You can add just about anything else...

    Observations from Pearl's pool

    It can be a real wildlife extravaganza out here on the edge of the woods somedays! The pool float is truly therapy for me. Lately I have been watching a mom turkey and her five little ones. Everyday they make the rounds from the woods to shade trees in the back pasture. There are five little...
