Mi Vida Loca Locamente (My Insanely Crazy Life)
10. Three boys out of school for the summer will use a total of 4,832,120 glasses a day (apparently one per sip of water), and will leave them ALL on the counter.
9. It’s hard to be inspired to cook when the kitchen is so hot that butter melts the second it is removed from the fridge.
8. According to the millions of mosquitoes living in the Northwest, I have the tastiest legs in the County.
7. One of my favorite times of the year are the weeks leading up to our anniversary. Paul and I always have so much fun planning for it.
6. The option to go online and put books on hold at the library so all I have to do is run into the library, grab the books, self-check them out and be driving away in 5 minutes or less really encourages me to read all kinds of things. Current favorite read: “Play: How It Shapes the Brain, Opens the Imagination, and Invigorates the Soul“, by Stuart Brown. A must read for all parents, teachers, grandparents, aunts, uncles and people.
5. The feeling of accomplishment when I receive a compliment on my cooking is addictive. I made corn chowder for my visiting aunt and uncle (who, by his own admission is incredibly picky) and they both loved it. Yay me!
4. Crockpots are amazing inventions, but only work well when you turn them on.
3. Boys who get splinters in their feet should learn their lesson and not walk on wood decks without shoes again.
2. It it a cruel, cruel joke of nature to have 100+ degree temperatures in this part of the country. And a horribly painful lesson to learn that such extreme temperatures can be devastating to chickens. On the flip side, we are truly blessed to have so many kind hearted, gracious and understanding customers. Thank to all for the kind thoughts sent our way.
1. In spite of everything that life throws at us, there are always bright spots and angels if we only open our eyes and look around.
1b. And did I mention how excited I am about our anniversary plan this weekend? Stay tuned, it’s gonna be deliciously fun!

Thanks for showing me how to cut up a chicken properly…and faster than I’ve ever seen anyone do it! Looking forward to cooking up stock and Coq au Vin with my fresh chicken! Thanks to your whole family…

My pleasure, Tammy. I know that a lot of people have never cut up a chicken, so I’m happy to teach if it helps to get people eating real food again! Let me know how you enjoy your chickens.
