It’s almost completed

If you remember, in September I started a big fat project.  I have kept it concealed for David’s and my eyes only for months.  If you know me, I cannot keep a secret very well.  Once I was asked to help with a surprise birthday party for a man in my church.  He and I taught Sunday school together.   I told his wife I wish she hadn’t told me it was to be a surprise because I have an awful time keeping a secret, especially when it’s a nice one.  I want to shout it from the rooftops.  I had a horrible time each time I saw him to not say, “Are you ready for your party?”  I didn’t and the party was a surprise although the man told me he thought I was acting strangely for a while.

Anyway, the big reveal will soon be here.  I can’t wait to show you what we have been up to.   Remember that word, up.

Meanwhile, here at the Craig house we have been discussing chickens and what kind to get and how many.  We can’t have too many, but six or eight might do.  I am thinking of names for each hen.  Names from the Bible, I think.  These will be religious chickens.  At least I hope they will religiously lay eggs when they get old enough!

The coop is ready.  Now all we have to do is wait for Rural King to bring in the chicks.

Here’s to keeping secrets and naming hens.  Bye.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My New Blog

My son just got me set up with a new blog site. I am going to be playing around with it for a while, but this is what I have come up with so far.

Hope you will like the new look, but I am not guaranteeing that the blog look will stay the same. It’s kind of like quilts with me. I am always starting a new one. Since I will be doing all the designing myself and I don’t know what I am doing, there may be some surprises.

Anyway, I will be telling you stories about growing up on an Indiana farm, you will be reading some of my diaries(don’t expect me to let you see the juicy parts!), reading stories I have written for my grandchildren and just reading about my life in general.

So get ready for the ride. It may be bumpy some days and other days it will put you to sleep. Bye.
