The Lord works in mysterious ways. His timing can’t be beat.
When I was home alone — the kids in California and Jeff also out of town — Piper went into labor. She is the goat who we never saw go into heat. We felt she must be pregnant but we had no idea when she would give birth.
When I started making soap, I learned from the book Handcrafted Soap, by Dolores Boone. It is well worn – though I don’t follow the recipes, I follow the technique. I love the hot process soap method because it is fast and pretty hands-off. My style. My soap can be in the molds in about an hour and half, with only 15 minutes of hands-on time. Then the next day, it takes about 15 minutes to cut up the bars. Half hour soap!

One of the recent changes on our homestead has been getting ducks. We’re starting with raising Muscovy ducks for meat. We purchased three hens and The Drake from a local lady. This post is not only about the fun of these ducks, but about the demise of The Drake.
How was your Mother’s Day? Ours was wonderful! Jeff’s parents surprised us with a visit; Jerry (Jeff’s dad) was in Oregon for business so they extended their trip to stay with us for a few days. Judy and I both had an agenda – pictures. She wanted updated pictures of us for Jerry’s new office. And I wanted pictures… just because. I realize that there’s alot to catch up on Such Treasures. But because I can’t possibly catch up, I am just going to jump in, and try to fill in the blanks as I go.

I did some rearranging yesterday of my “office” – to create a nicer background for videoing myself in gnowfglins.com teaching videos. Also, how was your Christmas? Ours was restful and quiet – we had a sickie in the house.
I wanted to send out a card with a little more flair than the one I posted two days ago!
From our family to yours ~ we pray your Christmas is blessed beyond measure with God’s love!
