Liam and I married very young and VERY broke. We pretty much lived on beans, potatoes, and rice. Though we no longer scavenge for couch-cushion change to buy groceries, we still eat a lot of beans. Pintos and Cornbread, for example, are a family staple. We also eat Tex-Mex or […]

Two years ago, we had our thirtieth wedding anniversary. We were in college (not by choice). Being well-behaved little Poindexters, we finished our research papers early. The plan was to submit them and CELEBRATE! (Dun, Dun, DUN) The professor decided papers could only be submitted in a program none of […]
Before we begin, I wish to point out that, ALL MY DUCKS ARE IN A ROW! Okay, that loud noise is my family and friends howling with laughter. My life tends more toward that meme that says, “I don’t have ducks. I have squirrels, and they’re drunk”. Nevertheless, for this […]
A few random facts about me: I love to cook. I hate to shop. I’ve lived through power outages, ice storms, job losses, and now a pandemic. Also…I like to stick my hands in dough and pretend I am Caroline Ingles, Angeline Wilder, or Elizabeth Robinson…in jeans and boots. Because […]

We raise a small flock of St. Croix sheep. I’ll do a proper post about the breed later, but today I want to talk about Number 29. Number 29 was one of the first sheep we bought. We lost her to an injury a couple of years ago, but tales […]
My kids are a little weird. Okay, maybe more than a little. And…maybe there is something to the theory of genetics. After all, that weirdness comes from their daddy’s side. Alright! Fine! We’re all weird odd strange doolally pleasantly eccentric. Yes, that’s it eccentric, and pleasantly so. I was confronted […]
Before we bought the farm, we had to remodel and sell our previous home. During the remodel, the house was uninhabitable. So, as a family, we made a pretty extreme decision. Liam, Jonah (16), Sam (12), Grace (11), Diarmuid and Grainne (120 lb dogs), Killian (a fat bossy tabby cat), […]
