Snow, Birds, Dogs, Machines, & Give-Away



Over the last week we picked up a little snow and ice.  Not as much as the local news station forecast-ed.  Two inches, at most, was dumped over in our area and we’re okay with it, because it wasn’t as bad as what was predicted.   We found a bird, dead in the snow, lying upside down on the roof.

Beans, our dog, wasn’t too happy because his belly was dragging in the snow when he went out to do his business.  We tried putting a sweater on Beans but he wouldn’t have it.   



Here’s a prime example of how a Chihuahua acts when he/she doesn’t want to wear a sweater; or do what you want them to, they give you major attitude.

We love having a food saver machine to help with preserving and packing foods.  About 4 years ago, we purchased a residential machine over the internet, during the holidays, at a really good price.  The machine is still working, but not as efficient as it used to be. 

Before the last hunting season (around Thanksgiving time) Cabela’s was having a sale on commercial-grade food saver machines.  We picked up one with some extra rolls of plastic.  This came in handy when processing my husband’s 8 point buck.


 



I also picked up a powered pressure cooker at the local Walmart for our RV; I always wanted one, and it was the perfect time to snatch one up with holiday sales.  Being that our RV was in the shop for warranty work, I used the pressure cooker at home to cook a roast and vegetables, everything came out really nice.  This pressure cooker is large enough for cooking on the road or at home.  You can even process your canning jars in this machine.  I haven’t tried this because I have a very large pressure canner at home already. 

Tomorrow evening, I will be posting a give-away I’m sponsoring, and one person will be the lucky winner.   Please come back and visit me tomorrow evening and register for the give-away.
