I hadn’t used the crockpot since we moved a few months ago.
[Oh yeah, btw, we are chicken farmers no more. We moved to the "big" city. Which is actually still a "small" town. But it is "big" since the farm was in a city where the population was 1,000. Now we live in a city [...]

My friend Leigh participated in this meme and I decided to play along. Here’s how it works: Reply to this post using words, and I’ll give you 5 words that remind me of you. Then post to your own blog with your meditations on those words, inviting others to ask you for words. Leigh [...]
