And, you saying that I'm brave and strong does nothing but brighten my weak moments. I don't believe I'm any braver or stronger than any other woman, I just firmly believe that we can do whatever we put our minds to.Chicken Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704834273210183660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-62405535838094341132010-02-23T05:30:12.643-06:002010-02-23T05:30:12.643-06:00I'm finally catching up on reading-it's be...I'm finally catching up on reading-it's been a very busy and snowy February here in MI. It sounds like you've been on an emotional roller coaster as well. You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you figure the next steps in your journey. You are so brave and so strong-I have no doubt that you will be thriving in whatever that new normal looks like before you know it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-72020625245832732512010-02-17T13:21:43.024-06:002010-02-17T13:21:43.024-06:00Omigosh, Foxy Lady, I second the motion that you s...Omigosh, Foxy Lady, I second the motion that you start blogging! The pictures you could post would knock the sox off anyone remotely interested in the North Woods and its animal life. How 'bout it? Huh?

But Tasha Tudor works, too! :)<br /><br />And, thanks, Foxy Lady! :) As I'd said, I knew the new name was right . . . but not the image. Now I've got the right combination!!! By the way, WHEN are you going to start blogging??? I hope you're planning on it when you retire from your current day-job, at least!Chicken Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704834273210183660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-49607373184194798192010-02-17T12:32:47.391-06:002010-02-17T12:32:47.391-06:00I love the new header.

"Homesteading-woman-hero"? If I am, it's only 'cause I learned from the best, Mama Pea. She was in a faaaaaaaaaar more stressful situation when she & Dad were doing it 30 years ago. AND, she had bothersome little ol' me following her every move, to boot!<br /><br />Sorry about this not showing up in your reader. Yeah, it's completely wonky. For example, my settings show that I still have my 'reactions' . . . but where are they on the blog? Tons of other stuff, too. Dumb technology. Great when it's working, aggravating as h#ll when it's not!<br /><br />Oh, and I haven't commented about this on your blog yet . . . I'm a little behind in my reading . . . but when you two do remodeling, you DO remodeling!!!! But then, I suppose you have to w/ the hubby getting deployed at a moment's notice. Nuthin' like a deadline to spur a person on!<br /><br />And ANY comparison to the Ingalls? SWEET! I'll take it! Ooooh, that reminds me, I have a picture of me sitting on the steps of Laura's first school in DeSmet. I'll have to post that one of these days. <br /><br />Anyway, THANKS for all the props - it helps!Chicken Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704834273210183660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-73853518252035503172010-02-17T05:42:23.548-06:002010-02-17T05:42:23.548-06:00I like the new header, perfect for a MN winter up ...I like the new header, perfect for a MN winter up in the trees! This post didn't go to my reader though, I only saw it after linking to your shoveling post. I still need to fix my blog, I have been meaning to fix the slideshows on my sidebar and all my "tags" for almost a year now! Got back from IKEA last night about 8 pm loaded to the gills, now today will be putting together bathroom cabinets and painting! One day at a time, Chicken Mama, that's the way to do it... if you weren't my homesteading-woman-hero before, you certainly are now that you are doing it alone! (but you were before :)) You are Caroline Ingalls while Charles was away finding work in the fields... minus the locusts and prairie fires!!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.com
