Outbreak: Global Pandemic Threat Level 6!

Garlic and Ticks

I have been researching on ways to keep the ticks away for our camping trip and it looks like garlic is one natural way to keep those ticks away. I fed the kids some garlic and ate some too. It is also great for keeping away the mosquitoes and fleas. So not only is garlic good for cooking but it is great as a natural repellent also. No worry about harmful chemicals that is hazardous to your health!

Tornado Watch

I don't think the camping trip is going to be today. One storm after another and now we are under a tornado watch. I wonder how all those people living in tent cities are handling the rain and storms, they have to to soaked. If you had some tarps that would help. Put tarps on the survival list if you have not already.

Ticks and the Woods

We spent one afternoon cleaning up our camp site trimming weeds and picking up sticks. The red ants and ticks are really bad this year. We got the grill all filled with sticks and now we just need to take out the camping supplies.

Camping

Finally vacation time has come, it has been a long year but I survived. We all talked it over and I guess we are planning a camping trip. The kids are so excited they cannot wait. The weather here is so nice as long as we don't get any thunderstorms this weekend we will be alright. I wanted to buy a camper but until I get the credit cards all paid off I guess we will be putting up a tent. Planning and preparing for the next few days. Oh did I say packing (the three p's.) I will be sure take lots of pictures to share with you all.

Summer Fun For The Family At Branson

After a long year's work it's time for some fun. This year why not consider a sizzling summer vacation at Branson Missouri. Leave the stress behind and head to Branson for entertainment and attractions the whole family will enjoy. While your there be sure to stay at the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing and the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel connected to the heart of Historic Downtown Branson, Missouri. They make it so easy you can go right online at their site and make your reservations any time of day or night. This full service Hotel provides all the Amenities you need from High speed Internet access to a delightful swimming pool. All this from 159.00 a night. Enjoy waterfront shopping, dining and entertainment adventures at Branson Landing, located on the waterfront of beautiful Lake Taneycomo in downtown Branson. Take the kids to the Adventure Cove playground where they can have hours of fun. Family friendly comes to mind when I think about Branson Missouri. I remember when I was younger and dad took our family out to Missouri. My mom had to go visit the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum. We always watched Little House On the Prairie so that was one stop along our vacation we had to go see. I would like visit Missouri again and stay at the Hilton Hotel,visit nearby shops,enjoy the attractions including museums and relax in the hot tub. This time I'll take my family! We'll have memories that will last a lifetime!

Homestead blessings

Here is a great video with the West girls singing green beans in the garden. They are an inspiring group of singers. This is the ideal life of living in the country. One day I hope to live in the country too. I am sure you will enjoy the singing. Nothing like green beans in the garden and clothes on the line.
