Whew! There you are! So you've learned a few random things about each of us, and yes, honey is very good with mashed potatoes. How did I find out? I was at a friend's house when I was little and we were eating dinner. I saw a bottle of honey and hadn't seen that there were rolls to go with it, so used it on my 'taters! :)
So the Walkers are officialy moved out. Tonight they are sleeping for the 1st time at their own house on their land! Hurray for them!:) But we are gonna miss having them around to stay up late with us and fun around with! :'(
Well, that's all I have for now.

I'm Still Here!:)
Up to this point Rachel's cat has eaten a baby mouse, killed the other one, and then lo and behold, one of the little kids found the supposedly eaten baby mouse in Anna's room!! And alive, at that! So I just got back from dropper-feeding the mouseling.
Now, an explanation on my tardiness of posting: Our whole family has been particularly busy these past few weeks, and I've been helping feed the baby goats every 3 or so hours, milking Daisy twice a day, feeding baby mice, watching kids, working in the business, etc. So in my free time I do have, I have been reading Great Expectations, and just relaxing, not really blogging. Suffice it to say, that Rachel makes time for blogging in her free time and I don't.
Daisy the goat, has given her owners great anguish by her inconsiderate actions. She doesn't stand still for 2 minutes at a time, and has spilt a whole bowl of milk too many times. We have sought advice from a very good source(Maddie W.:) and changed some things accordingly, and yet, she is still the most ornery old goat that I ever did see! And her off-spring aren't much more refined. This morning finally, Lizzy took to sucking down milk, but Chip hasn't "quite got the idear" of this method yet.
So, poor us, ;) ..............
Well, I was going to post some really cool words that I found while browsing through Matthew's iPod dictionary, but he is gone, and I don't remember most of them, so that shall have to wait.
We watched P&P last night with mom, my aunt, Daniel, and Matthew, and I think everybody liked it! Aunt Christy was surprised at Wickham and Lydia, and Mom was shocked that Lizzy refused Mr. Darcy's proposal. It was fun to watch their faces at the different parts!:)
I hope this post is droll enough, but I don't really have a lot to post about and am home watching the kids with Aunt Christy while Mom is shopping, Daniel, Matthew, and Rachel are working, and Dad is digging footings for the W.'s mobile home!

Flowering Quince and Emma
Daniel and I have finally gotten old enough to start "remembering" things that are now considered old. Last night, also on Youtube, we watched a Merry Melodies short film called "Farm Frolics" that we watched as super little kids. One of my earliest memories is being petrified by the weasel that sneaks up on the little chicks! It was alot of fun to watch something I "endured" as a two year old! :)
The Walkers are finally about to be able to move out here in a mobile home while they build their house! They hired someone to clear the old homesite of all the brush and old bushes and trees, which is forward motion indeed. But....I am feeling a bit melancholy. The reason? Well, normally I am not sentimental at all about animals, but... there were so many birds nesting in the brush, and many of them have figured in my Bramblewood Hedge series. I feel halfway as if I had murdered them! :( Silly I know, but the poor dears! I meant to rescue a really pretty bush I have admired for several years, but it was buried under some big cedar bushes and even Dad and the hired man couldn't retrieve it! But Mama, dear thing that she is, inspired by some truthfully Divine impulse, somehow got it in her head that the bush was a "flowering quince". Now, who in tarnation ever heard of a "flowering quince"? I hadn't! But lo and behold, she went online when we came back, and that lovely mysterious bush is a flowering quince! Yay! Mystery solved, and we can probably procure one for our enjoyment now that we know what it is! Thanks Mama! Well, Justin Wright generously left us his really nice volleyball net for the week, so I'm going to get off now and see if I can rustle up the others for a nice game! See ya'll later! :) -Rachel
