Gotta Sit Down to Read This Post

Branch and the other fellows enjoyed a snack of raw oysters with hot sauce.
We had a good time at Swine Time, and the kids (and Poppins) participated in lots of fun activities.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We've had four performances these past two weeks, with two more to go.  Painting a Celtic warrior below...
And giving a poor Englishman rotten teeth and smudged face...
A Rennaisance Christmas
Our So Smart Math Teacher Friend Beth (whew!!) stopped by late at night to show these rascals how to really understand lateral surface area, thanks to Mean Ol' Mama's cut-up oatmeal cylinder.
Isn't this lovely? Taken at the property the other evening...
Poppins has purchased four calves, and the kids are now surrogate mothers.
Branch also wanted this little piglet, who came with a  bonus purchase of six chickens. Long story...
We are busy busy busy.  Mo'M is officially finished at the college for this semester; lots of performances; daily trips to the property to care for animals; plans for the holiday season; many outside activities going on; billions upon billions of phone calls and last-minute decisions; hopes for baking goodies; yummy things being delivered to community personnel and friends; secrets and surprises; go go go, Mean Ol' Mama
