Proving I’m Alive

Oct
3


I know how to dress up for a party.

I’m afraid if I don’t post today, you might think I’m dead! I’m just tired from too much fun. I’ll be back tomorrow with a full party post. I haven’t even unloaded my camera yet onto my laptop. The photos in this post were taken by Jerry. In the photo above, I had just led Beulah Petunia and Glory Bee up from the hinterlands where they could join the party. (This was earlier in the party, before the milking demonstration. I just brought BP up to visit.) The party was so much fun–food, people, food, and more food! And demonstrations and door prizes galore. I gave away CITR 2011 calendars, BBBs, homemade soap, home-canned goodies, a handmade bird feeder, a hand-crafted table from Twiggity Rusticks, homemade potato soup mixes, and a hand-stitched pillow. (Much of which was donated.)

Signing up for door prizes at the party.

The best part is–if you weren’t there? YOU GET TO JOIN IN THE FUN! Tomorrow I’ll be posting door prizes giveaways all day, right here on the Daily Farm page. So y’all come back now, ya hear?

    I had wondered….if you made it through the party!!! This is my second time checking in today to see party pictures!!! I’m sure you were exhausted! It sounds like it was so much fun…sure wish I could’ve been there. Looking forward to more details!

    Did you wear makeup to your party or are you just naturally that lovely?! I’d say you were dressed just fine! :)

    I would say that NUMB is the word. You will be back in stride about WED. I am sure a good time was had by all. Who could improve on the weather???????

    Parties are so much fun- and on the scale you give them-they can take a life of their own and suck you dry!
    Even with help, you must be exhausted!
    And I think- given the activities at your party you are dressed quite appropriately.
    Rest and take the chance to put your feet up!

    You ARE dressed up. We all know if it weren’t for company, you wouldn’t have the jeans on!! You look quite fancy! I can’t wait for all the pics – it looks like a great party!! Thank you for including us unfortunate souls that couldn’t make it!

    I’ve checked in several times today also and knew you must be exhuasted and yes, I started thinking perhaps something did happen. So it was a pleasant surprise to see your post. That’s a great picture of you! Looking forward to tomorrow’s posts

    I’m glad it went well. I’m glad you had fun. I had looked it up on Mapquest back when you issued the invitation. I hinted to hubby, begged, pleaded, bargained, and still knew in my heart that a really long drive wouldn’t work for a variety of reasons. I’m plotting and planning for next year already!

    This gives meaning to the term “dead tired”. I knew you must be; daughter and I talked about it at lunch today. I, too, have had a little uneasy feeling today wondering if something had “happened” (my imagination is way too active!) so am relieved to find this quick, and very satisfying post — thank you. Hate to tell you, but each year older causes some of us to take a little longer to recover each year. I hope your helpers made you stop and put your feet up after the party was over. It’ll all get done eventually. The decorations will last and be pretty a few more days. And, the memories will keep recurring forever. Bless you!

    You look so pretty! Prettiest farmer I ever saw. Did Clover wear her tiara?

    Suzanne, those are Country Girl clothes! Glad you all had a good time. Maybe some year I’ll get to make it. Rest up now. Tomorrow we’ll look at pictures and hear all the fun things that happened.

    Nice to see pictures of you. You are usually the one taking the pics. It sounds like so much fun. Wish I were your neighbor.

    The party was so great! We ate, made soap, made apple juice with the steam juicer, milked BP (although after she hit me in the face with her tail, I gave up!), fed the goats cookies, loved on Jack and Poky and generally had a good time. Yes, Suzanne is that lovely, 52 is quite handsome (and has a voice to fall in love with!), and both Weston and Morgan are gorgeous.

    I loved meeting Georgia, Sheryl, Dede, Natalie and Cindy P.

    I hope I can make it back next year!

    Jo, Frank wasn’t there LOL! But we did hear him working down the hill today LOL!
    Cindy, Natalie and I didn’t leave Stringtown Rising until 2PM today – so it’s no wonder everyone thought we’d all fallen over the hill ;) Actually, we spent all morning in the rockers just rockin’ and talkin’. It was a GREAT party. Hated to leave…..

Waiting on pins and needles to see all the fun. :snoopy:

    Yeah, I was a bit worried that Clover would trample you to death while trying to get attention from all her adoring fans.

    I figured you were just tuckered out, but had to check once more before bed. Thanks for the quick check-in. If you hadn’t posted by now I would have started to worry.

    I’ve been looking for a potato soup mix – can you post the recipe for yours? I want one to send to my daughter at college.

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
