OfflineGood morning. I live in Delta, Colorado, just turned the big 70, have 3 children (Florida, Hawaii and Texas), 17 grandchildren, and by summer's end, will have 5 great-grandchildren. I maintain that being a grandmother is God's gift for having survived parenthood! Seriously, I love my children and have a great husband. I grew up in eastern Colorado and eastern Utah in the home of an educator and a very smart mom. We have lived mostly in the west, with stints in Hawaii and North Carolina. I love being a homemaker, doing family history/genealogy research, reading, sewing, and generally enjoying life. I found this site while looking for "ham canning" recipes this morning. Now to get the hams canned today. I look forward to probably too many hours spent visiting this site!

OfflineWelcome to all the newcomers. I'm sure you'll enjoy this site and forum as much as I do!
Hi I am a 43 y.o. Mom and wife living in Northern California. I am a transplant from Tennessee. I have a 17 y.o. son I charter/home school. I live on a 50 ft x 150 ft city lot which I am trying to turn into a micro hobby farm. At present we have a garden area, rabbit hutch with 1 dwarf size rabbit, 2 dogs, 1 cat, chicken coop with 6 chickens and 2 ducks. I am striving for a simple/homesteading life. I like to try and share new recipes. I also am experimenting with blogging and blog at juliaslifejourney.blogspot.com

OfflineHi all,
Just wanted to take a sec to introduce myself. I joined here awhile ago but haven't visited the forums much. I don't know why- they look incredibly useful and fun.
Anyway, I am a homeschooling mom of four (all 10 and under) and just starting out in the whole "farm girl" life. So far, I've just got the chickens, but am making rather grandiose plans for our six acres! We live in New England. Look forward to visiting here more often.

OfflineGlad you're visiting the forum, Kim!!! Hope you enjoy it and get as much out of it as I do! There are so many ideas everyone has…eventually you just have to pick and choose what you can actually do :)
Hi ya'll! My name is Tricia and I'm a horseaholic! I live in NE Alabama on a small farm. I'm been married to the sweetest Handy man for 24 years, and we have 2 grown children. Our daughter is 22 (gulp!) and married, and our son is 19, still at home and in college. Our farm consists of approximately 90 acres where we run a herd of cattle, a herd of goats, horses, mule, donkey, dogs and cats. It's almost a full time job just taking care of all these hungry mouths, but I also work outside the home for an aircraft engineer. I'm his girl Friday – lol. I take care of his two horses and dog in addition to doing his bookkeeping and running his office while he's at Boeing in Charleston helping build the 787 Dreamliner.
Weekends usually find me in the woods on my horse – or occasionally on the boat with my husband fishing. It's a crazy busy life, but I love every minute of it!
Welcome to the forum, Tricia!
I bet your boss is just thrilled he has someone to do his books AND take care of his animals…I'm sure that's not a trait you'd find in every employee :)
Welcome, etgal! You'll love the canning experience…a very gratifying skill. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask…we're not experts, but there are many experienced canners on board

OfflineHi I’m Kathy, I stumbled across this site on the results list for a search request, while it wasn’t what I was looking for, I couldn’t resist a site titled “Chickens in the Road”. I completely forgot about my original search and clicked. After roaming around Suzanne’s West Virginia farm and meeting her family and neighbors, I was hooked. For me, being raised a Kentucky farm girl; it was very much like going home.
