Lost Signal (Found Now)



We had some nifty storms last night as the sun set. Leaves and tiny branches are scattered about.


I counted the goslings this morning, all 6 are still with mom and pop, including the 7th that we did not count a few days ago. Last night I thought about the goose family, and what did I see when I looked? They seemed to be floating along on the pond. I suppose the wind really wasn't as bad on the water and downhill.


We dealt with losing Internet signal a few times (hence the photo of the mighty blue modem), along with some dust. You can look at it. I have some dust in the general area, tee hee. It was wonderful to see all 4 of the steady green lights back on!


I used my phone for certain services, company email for one. I really need to sit down with it and determine just what I can and cannot do. Plan A in case of a real power outage.


Other than the glitch with the equipment, no power outage (just flickering), I have been working on the newsletter and answering email. We ran some chores this morning...boy does that get expensive these days!


If you wish to receive the email, the newsletter sign up button is located near the bottom of my site's index page. The newsletter is published once a month, and possibly twice a month in the future. I try to keep it short.


Did you know that today's Internet readers are considered scanners? Many readers do not want to read long text. Make it short, concise, and most people are happier. It is a fast paced world!


Take care...have a good Thursday evening!

Annie's Goat Hill Handcrafted Soaps Newsletter Typo



Huh...did you say a typo?????


Yep, I said a typo.


When you snooze, you lose.


For those that received their first newsletter today. Did you enjoy that it was from Annie's Gaot Hill? Uh-huh...we raise gaots here. They are not quite like goats. A new species.


You know, I corrected that error several times. But, unfortunately, I guess I didn't save my corrections.


Did you smile, get a laugh? I hope so!


Today's shop soaps were lavender and honeysuckle. The curing rack is beginning to fill again. Spring anticipation! And if you want some special scents for spring yourself, let me know.


The husband, whom now says, "I am an employee that works for bologna sandwiches," adjusted my cutter today. We have had shrinkage lately that I am not fond of. Bigger bars, shrinkage that means less soaps going to the Y discounted category in the Soap Store.


Speaking of Y discounted soaps, I am moving some lavender and honey oatmeal bars to the discounted section today. These are great bars of soap, averaging 3.5 ounces a bar.


Rainy day here...more to come.
