It's that time of year again, when we go camping for a week to celebrate the Holy days of Sukkot! ...rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days. Leviticus 23:40 We live in "temporary dwellings"

I found this drawing on my daughter's desk. I couldn't figure out why the watermelon picture was folded like that. I admired all the details - green shading and defined lines. A very attractive watermelon.

Our morning glory is growing so large! It has climbed up the strings we provided for it and then went off from there. Now it's beginning to cover our back door wall! We have to walk around it to get outside.

Our family has begun a new entrepreneurial adventure: the Turner Sisters Bakery! We have converted our home kitchen into a baking factory that produces dozens upon dozens of delicious English Muffins and

My daughter's computer was making a buzzing noise. We sort of ignored it at first, but as it got louder and louder, eventually we had to address it. We shut down the micro-PC and investigated the problem.

Managing a large family, my wife does a great job keeping up with meals, laundry and on top of that her position of Treasurer and carrying most of the weight of a new business, Turner Sister's Bakery.

Visited a metals dealer and had some great conversations about the future of money - which metals have the most interesting aspects about it. I mentioned copper, but obviously right now it doesn't have

We are so grateful for beautiful weather and the opportunity to get things taken care of outside. Our volunteer pumpkin is turning orange, little by little. Probably time to pick in a while. Pulled some

In my journeys, I get to visit many businesses. I had the opportunity to visit the one lone business still operating at an indoor mall. JC Penny is still open and conducting business, even though all other

My very first MENE purchase was April 2018. I was introduced to MENE by @goldmatters who was/is a MENE advocate. Gold at the time was about $1300 (I know, right) and platinum was under $1000. Since then,

It's getting to be that time of year! It seems like we just planted our garden and now we're counting down the days before putting it to sleep for the season. It's pretty small, but we did get a watermelon

Are we looking at $1000.00 here? There are some amazing rumors floating out there concerning silver. The rumors are not baseless - there are some things happening in the silver world that are un-precidented.

I've been carefully checking my change, mostly looking for the elusive 2025 pennies (perhaps last year of production?), but finding something even better: silver! While theyy look like old dirty dimes,

Right about the time of Covid, we watched our "Liberty Elm" tree wither up and die. It was a beautiful tree but a number of summers ago we had a Japanese Beatle plague and they infected the Elm

I visited my local coin shop and picked up a new coin. I've always been fascinated with old coins, the older the better. This coin really hit the spot! Minted sometime between AD 268 - AD 270, this is

My daughter decided she was spending too much time watching videos, so she turned off the PC and was bored. Trying to think of something to do, it came to mind that perhaps she could sell some lemonade!

Yesterday, I spent most of the day outside doing landscaping on the front yard. But I also spent some time harvesting the garden. Got a giant bowl full of green beans, delicious! We have a tiny watermelon

For a while now, our children have been saving up money for a trampoline... until one day daddy happened to find one for 1/4th their budget and they were able to afford it! They've been having loads of

It was quite the weekend, I spend the entire day in a parking lot! It's the GRATIOT CRUISE, where all the fancy car owners "cruise" down the street to show off their cars. This year it was sponsored

Our youngest one brings a lot of joy to the household. Even though she's teething (which is pretty ouchy for her) she is still full of smiles and coos of joy. She want to communicate with us, even though
