EG's Day at the Barn
From Deer Park Farms, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
This morning, Ellie Graye came along with Victor, Lorena and I to the barn. The facility really is perfect for bringing her along. There's nothing she can hurt herself on, and since I'm the only one there, if the horses are turned out or in their stalls, there's no fear of someone coming around the corner leading a horse. Ellie absolutely loves it. I'm afraid we have an addict already. She's chosen Rosebud, the 2.5 year old quarter horse owned by the girl who lives...

Ok, so all that paranoia about the "Spooky Package" was completely for naught. Turns out that all my suspicion about some other blogging lady who was jealous about how freaking cool my blog is, and was trying to poison me was just that: paranoia. The reality is that my dear father ordered it for me. Theyre curry leaves and seeds so I can grow it myself. Why' Well, Jake loves cooking with curry leaf, it's really hard to find, and it became a running joke while dad was here that...

Spooky Packages, Spectacular Parties, and Super Presents
From Deer Park Farms, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Ok, let's just get this out of the way. Today I received a package via USPS that came from an unreadable return address in Kingston, NY. I know NO ONE from Kingston, and have no idea why that someone would send me anything, especially unidentified berries and a sprig of leaves. If anyone can shed some light on this mysterious package, it would be greatly appreciated.On a lighter note, our friends Minou and Steve hosted a fantastic dinner party at their house in Camas,...

Christmas Dinner #2

I can't believe we've already had two Christmas dinners, and it's only the 23rd! Tonight's dinner was extra special for me...all I had to do was show up! That was more of a treat than I thought it would be. It was such a breath of fresh air. It feels like Christmas, for sure.Mom and Ed prepared an awesome spread - Ed cooked a turkey and all the trimmings, and mom made the house look spectacular. The table was beautiful, and she made our favorite little caprese...

Days Go By
From Deer Park Farms, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I'm tempted to say that time is speeding by, but it really isn't. I'm just busy. When I think of everything I fit into one day, it hardly seems like the time goes by fast. I think about the day and think, "Wow! That was only this morning' It feels like ions ago!" For example, Jeffrey left this morning for a day trip. I just got a text message from him saying that he had landed, and was on his way home. It feels like he was gone for a week, not 16 hours....

I have no freaking clue what the title of this post means, nor do I think it has anything to do with my day. It's just the words that have been bouncing around my head all night. Yeah, I know. It's evidence that I need a vacation. I need sleep. I need...I need...I need A TRIP TO GREECE. Ok. Wow. I'd challenge anyone right now to keep a straight face while spending time with me in my current state...That being said, I'm damn PROUD of myself. I DECORATED MY TREE!!!!! WOO...

At Least They're Not Frogs
From Deer Park Farms, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
As I poured the last little bit of packing popcorn into my last shipment of gift baskets, I had a flashback to my childhood...Years and years ago, my mother (who taught me how to re-purpose stuff other people had given up on) had a little business that gave her some spending money. Actually, now that I've written that down, I realize that it was more likely money to help pay for groceries and tithes --- the two things you couldn't live without paying for. If you don't understand what I...
