Things that I have learned…
It is already November. Where does the time go? Anyway, this is DL writing today. I’m not really sure what to post about. The holidays are coming up fast. Halloween is past and we had a wonderful Harvest Party to celebrate our big harvest. Thanksgiving is coming quickly. We have already slaughtered our 34 turkeys. If you can believe it or not, all of the 34 turkeys were killed, plucked, gutted and frozen in 1 day. Christmas will be here before we know it. Now, I mentioned some things that we as a family have experienced since being here at the Mansion in my last post but I’m going to tell you some things that I personally have learned.
