Exploding Grain Mills

I offer these photos as proof that I don't ALWAYS exaggerate when telling stories. ::snort:: When I say the grinder exploded - it did.
And the counter...stove...toaster...all covered with an off white film....
Getting flour out of cracks in a wood floor is tough! After quite a bit of work we now have 2 loaves of bread, 2 1/2 dozen of dinner rolls and a couple of dozen yummy Cinnamon Rolls. I used the Seven Grain Bread recipe that you can find by clicking recipe above and scrolling.
What we do not have is a great start on school! ::snort::  PS....not to fear, the boys had their table school done and we got all needed to accomplish in an hour of couch school. We're still on track.

Precious Princesses & Daughters

I shared in February that Stacia was obviously processing Michael's deployment. Today, she said several times, in a variety of combinations and ways:

"My Dad is gone. Mom is his precious princess. That's how I was born. I'm his precious daughter."

Yes, she is.

Computers and such....



I swear it ATE the Jeremy Camp CD. I put it in, it's GONE. The itunes/CD player worked fine with other CD's after that. We can't see a CD in there, but where else could it have gone and how will I explain THIS to the library? The laptop ate my CD? ::snort::

I spent the a.m. arguing with Norton/Symantec.....and finally uninstalled all their products and downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials - FREE. Solved all my problems. Thanks again, Don.

The only other funny item of note today: The Enesco Propane man knocked on my patio window. This is out of character. It seems my laundry had blown over again. He showed me what he thinks will solve the problem. We'll see. No matter....everything was dry by evening.

We are plowing on school. If we could do this from the start of the school year we could graduate them by the time they were 11. Which reminds me, I was shocked to find out yesterday that Nolan is 11. ::snort::

I spent nearly all afternoon on Skype. Mike, Josiah, Jamin and I at once. G - Globalization. ::snort:: 3 continents at once.  I had another Skype conversation with Krista and Bre. I  had a couple of PWOC regional Skype calls. What would my life be without a laptop and a fiber optic connection? ::snort::

We ran to the base in time to mail our first package to Mike, only to find that they are closed on Mondays. Ugh.  Jared and Arielle had human video team practice today.
