My life day to day
Impulse Buy
I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday on a mission to get silk flowers so I can finish some of the wedding party decorations. The problem was I had my mother with me and she insisted on wandering around the store. I usually don’t cave to buying impulse items…..but it was 66% off, and I had fallen in love with it.
Makin Mead
Yep, we are making more booze. This time around we are making mead….aka: fermented honey. It takes a LOT of honey to make mead, about 15 pounds to be exact.
We added the honey to 4 gallons of distilled water. We added warm water to the honey jug to make sure we got all of it out and added more water to get it to the 5 gallon mark.
We then added 70 billion yeast cells. Now that is going to be a party!
To keep the yeast happy it has to be fed for 4 days.
Now we wait two weeks when we get to rack the mead.
Lucy Likes Mulberries!
We discovered that Lucy really, really enjoys eating mulberries. Matter of fact, she was going so crazy for them we had to force her back to the house, afraid of what too much fruit would do to her digestive system.
Super Camera = Super Moon
Glen took some pictures of the moon with my new camera. They turned out pretty awesome!
Diabetes, it aint no joke
I don’t like to dwell on this type of anniversary, but it has been 11 years since my oldest sister, Chris, died which is just beyond hard for me to believe. She died of a massive stroke at the ripe old age of 41. She was a juvenile diabetic, meaning that she was diagnosed as a juvenile and was insulin dependent. Diabetes is one of the most, if not the most, unforgiving diseases there is. Diabetes can not be reasoned with, nor can it be put off for another day. Diabetes will destroy your body from the inside out. Diabetes, it ain’t no joke.
I got a new camera
I bought myself a new camera and I am so excited about it I can hardly stand it! I got the Sony Cybershot DSC-HX300. It has 20.4 megapixels and a 50X zoom. I can’t wait to start taking pictures!
