Out with May and In with June

Another month has passed. Most of the tribe have made it home safely. The volumn level has increased along with the food bill. It is amazing how children that ate almost anything I made, once they left home have developed the habit of "I don't eat that any more." It is hard on them to adjust to the non-cafeteria style of home cooking. Only one entree, only one choice. Take it or leave it. As their hunger increases so will their variety of what they will consume. At least I am not left with many leftovers any more. One childs chore of putting away the extra has almost ceased to exsist.
In our 4H group they made a craft of a jar to place on the table filled with questions to help you communicate with your family. Remove one question at a time. ask it and it will help
to stimulate conversation. I was wondering if there is a jar out there to help ensure that only one person talks at a time and in a volumn that allows others to remain in the room. Conversation is something our family never seems to have problems with.
Our chickens and ducks are growing fine and smelling something awful. Can't wait to move them to their permanent home. We have been blessed with some roosters.....anyone know of a good or even not so good a home for them???? Chicken and dumplings sounds good.
Our summer is full of online classes, summer school, 4H camp, swim lessons, coaching a swim team, travel to Denver, raising a few animals, special dinner and concert with Kings brass, competeing for the computer, working lots of hours....lots of kids in all directions, phone calls from friends, church, a movie or two, home repairs of a roof or two....just to name a few things ahead for us. So how are you relaxing this summer?
Now I must go and make some dinner for the hungry. We shall have roast beef sandwiches with french onion soup. Now I am getting hungry. Check in with you later.
