I have been craving seafood like crazy lately. I wonder if i’ve got some sort of deficiency.
The urge to go camping and hiking lately has been almost as strong as the seafood cravings. I wonder if I have some sort of deficiency.
We can’t wait for our garden to release it’s bounty even more fully than last year. This year we’ve added garlic to the mix and it’s starting to come up already. I’m pretty sure we’ll also have Zucchini, Squash, Corn, Tomatoes (at least 5 varieties), Bell Peppers, Banana Peppers, Jalepenos, Habeneros, Serranos, Green Beans, Cantaloup, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Broccoli, and a variety of herbs.
This is my beautiful bride Allison. Our six year anniversary is coming up on the 22nd of March. I married her when I was 20…probably the only good decision I’d ever made up to that point. I love her so much more now than when we got married. She’s pretty cool.
1 grape cluster = 1 glass
75 grapes = 1 cluster
4 clusters = 1 bottle
40 clusters = 1 vine
1 vine = 10 bottles
1200 clusters = 1 barrel
1 barrel = 60 gallons
60 gallons = 25 cases
30 vines = 1 barrel
400 vines = 1 acre
1 acre = 5 tons
5 tons = 332 cases
I can’t believe that just over six months ago we were fighting with her to get rid of her binky. Now she’s potty-trained and sharing her little complex ideas with us. What’s going on?
I must play golf soon.
Surely the God of Heaven Himself thought of the idea that meats belong on hot metal grates. Grilling season is back. And there was much rejoicing.
Saul’s invisible fence collar is that big for a reason. He’s part Sasquatch.
Carrie, of Ryan and Carrie…the husband and wife that live with us…is pregnant. This means that we will soon have two new babies in our house. Things is aboutstagit crazy. They’re going to be great parents.
She’s going to be 3 in August, when our new baby arrives. She’s super excited about being a big sister. She believes it’s going to be a girl and I think she’s right. We’ll have to wait until August 9th to see as we like to be surprised. Our girl name will be Scarlette…not sure for a boy name just yet.
Congrats to Carrie!! The photos are great, I loved the one of Carrie best, I think the lighting is neat.

Awwww! Your family is so precious.
My husband and I will also celebrate our anniversary this weekend. We married 27 years ago on the 20th. I was also 20 when I married.
Congrats on your anniversary.

I am definitely camping and seafood deficient, too. We should plan a group camping trip. I’ve been wanting to do that for 4 years now. Are you guys down? We can go camping and grill seafood.
{reply}
Oh the grilling and the seafood and the garden vegetables. You’re making me hungry. When are you adding another cooking post to the mix? Or blessing Pioneer Woman with your culinary delights? Mm-mmm!

mmm…Carrie is so hot.

You guys rock. I brought my yougest daughter home from the hospital the week after my oldest daughter’s third birthday. Those first few years were great fun…now they are 9 and 6. That’s all I’m sayin. Good luck with that.

2 Ryans and 2 new babies in one house. Oh my. What an exciting year it’s going to be for you.

I think you should consider going hiking where you can camp, fish and grill. That way you can take care of all your deficiencies in one shot!
Any tips on Potty training? My grandson will be 3 in Sept. and he say’s “NO” anytime we ask him if he wants to use the potty.

I love the randomness Ryan! Congrats to Ryan & Carrie for their bun in the oven.
Ryan, you think you have deficiencies? Almost everyone has. That’s why people crave food. I have one for you though. Go check this out: http://seabiotics.com/seatherapy I’ve been using this product for 3 weeks now. I’m a new person. Well, almost!

I so love that you love the Lord, and that you love wine too ~ every good and perfect thing is from Him! I’m a winemaker, and I love the Lord too … yes, these things can coexist!
Is there any chance at all we could get you to pull up stakes and move out here to central California – I’m desperately seeking a pastor as cool as you ; )

Scarlette…
sigh…
