Hi Everybody!

I'm sitting here, just relaxing. I was going to put away the ornaments but instead vegged all day. Yesterday was a long day anyway. Tomorrow I want to put away the ornaments and straighten the house a bit. Need to make sure everything is ready for DS27 to babysit Rocky next week. He's the quieter one so it works out well. Trying to make sure we have enough in the fridge, pantry and freezer to keep him well fed.

I'll probably pack on Wednesday or do at least part of it tomorrow depending on my energy level.

I think my muscles are more prone to stiffness and injury in the cold so I'm hoping some sun and sea air will help me get some exercise and lift my mood too.

Have a good weekend everybody, and stay warm!

(Welcome Curious!! )

hi, everybody !!



glad all you busybees got your decorations down.

me, I've got it easy, didn't put any UP, so... none to put away.



as of today, we are "International" sales-wise...



a woman and her son (Ciomara y Osman) crossed the border from Melchor de Mencos in Guatemala, because they heard we have tasty chickens for sale.

talk about a comedy... unlike 90% of Belizeans who at least have *some* English, these Guatemalans didn't habla any Ingles.

and our Espanol is still pretty limited, but somehow, we managed to conclude a deal (point, catch, weigh, and pay) por cuatro gallinas y patos.

while DH struggled to convey various weights and costs, the poor woman was struggling to convert Guatemalan quetzales into Belize dollahs, so there were wrinkled brows all around.

I took little 6 yr old Osman around to show him all the baby animals, and he helped me count out carrots, bok choy leaves, lechuga y repollo (lettuce and cabbage) for all the guinea pigs and rabbits.

uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete ocho, nueve, DIAS !!

Osman was especially happy to hold the new babies (3 born on New Year's Day, and 3 more today), and laughed merrily while feeding the goat babies.

we also fed the chuntitos, the patitos, y pollitos (turkey poults, ducklngs, and chickie babies)

it's amazing how much one can communicate, without language.

we all had a good time, Ciomara was happy with her purchase, and we were happy to make the sale.

DH is puttering in the kitchen, sauteeing duck breast slices with veggies, and baking loaves of sourdough bread.

the house is a mess, the laundry's only half put away, and the bed's STILL not made, yet I am content.

my flocks of birds are settling down for the night, all the chickens, ducks and turkeys are in their coops, the goats are milked, and everybody's fed, watered, hayed, and happy.

They are almost done. These are what we call dinner ones. I toss them with a little salt and pepper and parmesean cheese. Oh, I use some Smart Balance oil too. Not much, just to keep them from sticking to the pan.

Dessert Sweet Potato fries....toss with cinnamin and a little brown sugar.

Just bake'um up.

Sandy, you might need to make another batch of fudge.

Here too Kay!!

Should I make you guess who all I just got off the phone with?

Curious those sound real good, going to have to try that out.

I am working on magic, i mean getting hayed out, i mean, oh never mind
