2015 ended with a bang - an ice storm that left us without power until the end of the day on January 1, 2016. All of the cleaning in the garage we had intended to do was postponed, though we did get through a few boxes, rearranged some boxes we will store for a while more, and threw away at least four big black bags of trash. We almost have room for a car now!! We found our breadmaking machine in a cardboard box marked "Kitchen Stuff"--this coming weekend we'll have to give it a try and see if it still works!! Drew and Jenna make such fabulous handmade bread from scratch, I'm not sure keeping the breadmaker is worth it; but we'll give it a try! We found a box of antiques that I'll take into OKC to get appraised -- nothing we'll get rich off, but there are some nice glass plates and a set of painted plates, probably vintage '20s. I have a box ready to take to the Goodwill store too.
Drew and Jenna were on the road visiting friends and family, and spent the holidays with Jenna's family. They returned safely to us on Jan 7. Meanwhile, we fed and watered the hens and the cats, gathered eggs enough to give away a few dozen and still have some for ourselves, and made cinnamon & brown sugar roasted pecans.
