So, I'm a terrible pioneer....so are the kids. We tried....truly we tried. But we are re-attempting this cooking over an open fire again. This week. Jason is home, so we will rise to the challenge again. Pray for us again because I sprouted three new gray hairs, the dogs were very uncooperative as livestock, I couldn't get the wood that got wet to catch on fire, and as for cooking....Well cooking very quickly became a tedious chore. Thankfully we have modern technology....a stove....for example. You never realize how much those kinds of appliances mean until you decide you don't "need" them anymore.
Oh and laundry in the tub??? Forget it. The socks hung there over the shower curtain rod for hours because you can't squeeze enough water out of them. I think I would have been the kind of pioneer who had to be able to be the "Stupervisor". Yes I said "Stupervisor". I cannot imagine I would be good at anything other than cooking over a stove or making soap, laundry soap, perfumes...extracting oils out of plants and such. I could've told great bedtime stories....but clearly as far as the grades go...I kept the food preservation really well...but the fire a no go. So, you tell me.....
P.S. No pictures. Jason wasn't here, but we will take some this time. I got a new phone in and he is back....you may see me looking like what happened, who did it and why.
