What a great treat - Homemade Fried Pies! It seems like I have made 100 over the past few days - not really 100, but a lot. Tonight, I made some for dessert - peaches from my canning efforts from a month ago. Yummy! Here is the recipe I use. It's quick and easy and the dough will keep in the fridge for days! Good for breakfast and snacks, too!

So, we had an adventure and I have no pics, for which you may be glad! My husband and our great neighbor and best friend, Mike, butchered our first pig! I had been praying for a freezer to put the meat in, as ours has been broken just about ever since we gave our spare one away! Anyway, butchering day came and no freezer, so I got rid of almost everything from our freezer - the kids loved eating the ice cream! I filled it with sausage, which I made with a food processor! It was yummy! Then we canned about 8 jars of meat. I happened to check facebook and a message from a dear friend, who knew nothing about my freezer prayers, asking me if I needed a freezer! Praise the Lord! He is good! So, I now have roasts, ribs and bacon in my new freezer!!!!! I'm ready for piggy number 2 in the winter.
Shop news: Got in lots of Christmas yarns! I'm trying to finish my entrelac scarf and it's coming along beautifully. Also has spun 2 skeins of Red Hat Yarn. Jessica, my oldest daughter, was up yesterday with all of her knitting projects. She has a renewed interest! Yea!!! She's also one of my best customers!

We are still finding ourselves financially challenged, but in a way, it is the best thing that has happened! We are depending on God for our daily needs and He is providing! Gene and I are both working hard and God is faithful to His word! It is so awesome to experience His generosity and love daily. I am really watching our electricity and water usage and we haven't thrown our food like we used to do. We are eating leftovers and I'm creating new dishes from leftovers. It is really fun and challenging. The kids are getting on board. Ben is really thinking about ways to save and is learning at a very early age to be content whether abased or abounding. What an incredible thing for kids to learn! I'm learning it at 49 and it's not near as easy! We are using the online library for Tennessee called R.E.A.D.S. to save on gas. Going to our library costs us about $7.00 in gas! We used to go once a week! You can check out digital books and audio for up to 28 days. They have a wonderful selection of children's books. Also, this is StoryLine Online is a wonderful website. Celebrities read children's books. One thing I have learned is that $20.00 here and $20.00 there soon add up to $100.00! How wasteful and not a good steward of God's money I have been! Another good thing that has come from our challenges. In case my family reads this - WE ARE NOT STARVING AND WE HAVE HEAT, LIGHTS, PHONE AND GAS!! SO DON'T WORRY! I love you!!
Ben is learning keyboarding. I found a really good course for him online. It is free! Peter's Online Typing Course is the name of the site.
Gracie is sick, so I will be staying home again from church. Last week it was Ben. So far, no sickness for mama! Thank You, Lord!
Take care and may God bless you all richly!
