Recently we purchased a really nifty little product on amazon that cost a little over $20 (and price depends on the size you buy). We originally purchased it to put over a 10x10 dog kennel which we use in the summer as a garden to keep the deer out. We also use it while camping … Continue reading Camping must have! Shade!

Our previously mostly empty room that served during the 1800's and 1900's as a post office, telegraph office, telephone switchboard room, and Union Civil war payroll office is getting some new items that have been generously donated … Continue reading Awesome new displays in progress at the Bulltown Historic Area and Museum
Having spent the summer immersing ourselves in the pioneer era of living, it makes me think of the old time granny ladies that were the center of any village, town, or homestead. Granny ladies were the doctors long before we had medical clinics and health care facilities. Specifically called granny ladies so as not to … Continue reading Old time granny recipes
