Why I’m Cleaning Today

Posted by Cindy on October 20, 2008

I’m considering this one of those impromptu fall break days. My house is a wreck. Really. With all the busy fun we’ve had over the past several days, the house has suffered greatly. So, today is a cleaning day. No school – except for those all important life skills called chores. Sadly, the house is in such disarray, I’m afraid we won’t even be able to scratch the surface in one day. How does that happen so quickly? Anyway, here’s a peak into what’s been keeping us busy…..

I forgot to take pictures when visiting with my friend Dawn on Friday. She’s a treat to be around, and if you’re a homesteader, you’d drool over her chicken area. Look for an article by Dawn on entrepreneurship in the upcoming Old Schoolhouse Magazine!

Also on Friday, we attended a benefit chili supper hosted by Nancy to support the Hopeful Farm Foundation. I met Claire Novak, who is a very sweet gal! Above is a video of Eli dancing to the bluegrass band that was there.

Saturday was spent at the Preston Court Days. It’s a HUGE yard sale/antique sale/flea market event that takes place every year. You can’t tell from the picture, but we were there for seven hours and didn’t see every booth!
