Holiday Hubub Highlights

The best part of any holiday season is getting to catch up with friends and family. One of my cousins' is doing his dissertation on the history of rock-n-roll in Istanbul, another is launching rockets carrying satellites into outer space. I also had the pleasure of chatting with an astronaut about his stay on Mir while I was dressed like a flower girl at a hippie themed Christmas party. (Hey, I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.) The funny part, besides the way we looked, was the look on their faces when I mentioned I was homeschooling, as if I were the one with the difficult job.


I rock at Guitar Hero. My DH, not so much. After a visit with cousins, A. decided he needed the game, so he broke into his stash of cash and bought it for himself. We all decided a Wii might be fun for the whole family too. If only we could find one...

It looks like we might inherit some chickens. My DH mentioned to my uncle that we "would think about it" and somehow by the end of the night it was being discussed as if it were a done deal. There's a long story behind this one, I'll save that for tomorrow. In the mean time anyone have a good reference on how to build a chicken coop?

IF YOU ARE ONLY GETTING 12 OR LESS GO TO TRACTOR SUPPLY BUY A SMALL HORSE TANK PUT STRAW IN BOTTOM, PUT CHICKS IN DON'T FORGET TO BUY 1OF THOSE WATERING ATTCH FOR A 2 LITER BOTTLE & YOU WILL NEED SMALL FEEDER. BY THE TIME THEY ARE BIG ENOUGH TO JUMP OUT OF THE TANK IT WILL HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE WARM ENOUGH TO TURN THEM OUT IN THE YARD. THAT'S WHEN YOUR TROUBLE STARTS!!!!!!!!!

LOVE YOU,
AUNT M.
