Homemade Bread From Scratch

Hi Neighbors!

I just had to share this. My two youngest daughters are learning to bake bread. They are 14 and 11 and have both completed one loaf each! With a family the size of ours they don't last long though! The minute they come out of the oven everyone wants some! Pull out a knife and butter and let's go.

Looks ready to eat.

Can you tell she is happy with the results?

Anyway, yesterday Modesty baked her bread all alone. Today she helped Mercy bake hers. They both turned out great! We did have to rescue Mercy when she forgot to put some flour on her hand before kneading the dough. They both did an excellent job and will each be making a pie, a sweet bread, cake, cobbler and cookies. I will post more as they work on these.

Sticky hands! Still smiling though.

Much better!

Looks good!

Can you taste it?

Ready to eat.

I have been baking bread for over 27 years now. I have tried many recipes, but finally came up with my own recipe. My mother once bought me a bread machine because she felt 'sorry' that I was always baking bread. I passed that on to someone who could use it. Store bought bread just doesn't taste good to me anymore.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child. Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First TV. Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age. And it works! Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life. Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words. Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing. There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along. The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish. Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer. Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

Hey neighbors, its with a heavy heart I let you all know that my mom (Lori) unexpectedly passed away the end of June. Our family has been taking the time between now and then to be together and remember what a light mom was.

Thank you all so much for your love and support over the years. ~Mercy
