 Happy New Year! Hope everyone is having a good time this New Year's Eve. We're munching snacks, watching movies, playing games, and seeing how many kids fall asleep trying to stay up till midnight. I don't even know if I'M going to be able to stay awake - I'm getting old!
My poor to-do list was derailed Thursday night when I got a belated Christmas present from the coughing, hacking, green-tinged guy sitting behind us in church on Christmas day - a nice case of strep throat.  Fortunately, I have a few tricks up my sleeve from an old herbalist friend when it comes to strep and I'm feeling much better now. No more fever or white blotchies on my tonsils and I think I'll be up to full speed by tomorrow.
I'm writing down some goals for the coming year -- I don't do resolutions, but January is a good time for me to set some goals after thinking over the past year and where I'd like to be the next time January rolls around..
Hope y'all have a fun and safe new year! | 
I'll try to keep it pretty tame, but if you're really squeamish... get over it, you're a homsteader now! Ooops -- I mean, you might want to skip that post.
