You girls are so great! I am encouraged and scared all at the same time. I will definitly have my SIL or BIL here to show me the ropes. I don't want to venture out with just my daughter and I.
Pink steeled toed heels? I could really be styling!
For tomorrow and its needs I do not pray, but keep me, guide me, love me, Lord just for today.

Hey Julia! In your town up on John's Prairie Rd. is the Redneck Store--could call and see if they have womens steel toed boots in stock--that way you could see how they fit.

| Hey, Julia. There's a newish book from Storey Publishing on cutting your own wood. It's called The Backyard Lumberjack. I've been thinking about getting it. |

Lizabeth, funny you should mention the Redneck store, I saw it today as i was leaving the nursery next door, thinking to myself ' I should call and see... Hmm great minds...
Amie, I will have to check it out. I thought too to look in Carla Emory's book on country living and see what it says on firewood and such...
I did have my first lesson with the chainsaw today. My very kind BIL came over with my Sis and nephew. He showed me how, had me use it and then finished up the bulk of the wood. It was Madrona wood, very hard and very dense. My sis, nephew and daughter hauled and stacked wood. I was very pleased with my first go round. I didn't have my steel toed boots yet but I did where my Ropers, better than nothing. Now to find those pink accessories!
For tomorrow and its needs I do not pray, but keep me, guide me, love me, Lord just for today.
