July 28, 2012

today is our daughter Jessica's 38th Birthday...Hope you had a GREAT day!!!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

went to another local event today....LOVE that all of these things are just a few minutes from the farm....
this was a Civil War Muster in Concord Michigan...less than 10 minutes from us...

had a blast.... no pun intended....lol





did learn some interesting history about enlistment in the civil war....
very few questions were asked of the recruits.....but they did, however, want to look at your teeth....
one of the most important requirements to serve was that you had a top and bottom tooth
(2 opposing teeth) on at least one side so that you could rip off the end of the paper cartridge
 that held the gunpowder.....AMAZING!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 found these ham bones in the freezer....so we pulled some of our beans off the shelf and for the next couple of days....we will be having Ham & Beans...




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Olympic upset in the swimming pool......gotta love it when they push themselves to the limit!!!

May the best man/woman win!!!

Pleasant Dreams!!!
