Dear hubby came home finally on the 20th. Good news! No underway until next year! Yea!! That could be bad news also. Our wonderful president cut back monies for the military so much they cannot afford the fuel to do those underway which is why they are not going. That man is going to ruin our country yet! But anyway, to stay off my political soapbox, I will move onto a new subject!!
We have decided to check out the possibility of having a couple of dairy goats. I have been told by my "mil" that their milk is pretty good. Apparently it is creamier than cow's and is already pasteurized after you have milked the does. And to homogenize it doesn't take much. You can make ice cream, cheese, yogurt and even soap out of the milk!! So we will do some looking into that. It is about $50 -$150 a goat. A couple of goats is enough milk for a small family. So we would have enough extra for mom and Grandpa. Then could sell off the rest. Or freeze some of it for future use like for yogurt, ice cream, etc. As expensive as milk is, that would be a nice chunk of our money because we go through a lot of milk. And if we buy a side of beef when we first get there, gosh, our grocery bill would be pretty low. And that would be totally awesome!! So who knows, we may possibly have a nice get up one day!! That would be nice. I would love to have a place to dig in the dirt and raise some critters! Get back to basics and a simple life.
In the mean time, we have a lot of stuff to go through and throw away. We are moving to a much smaller house. It will be hard for me to get rid of a lot of stuff. Every so often I go through it and weed out a lot of stuff and throw it away. But I am REALLY going to have to throw stuff out! And I am not looking forward to it!! LOL
