IleneI couldn't stop reading your posts about cats and your other animals. You make them sound like they're human--which, of course, they are--excepting that most people don't realize that! I love your sense of humor in your writing. Fun, fun, fun! I'm a cat person, too. I've rescued 32 cats--or is it 33? I'll have to do a recount!
Lis GarrettI loved this blog from the moment I saw it, and I immediately added it to my Google Reader. No hemming or hawing about it! Yours is the life my husband and I have always wanted . . . but have been too chicken (ha!) to actually live it.
Thanks for the vicarious experience!

farmgirl susanHi Lillian,
So glad you're enjoying my blog. Thanks for your kind words and for taking the time to write. I'm working on installing an easier way to print recipes, but for now the easiest thing to do is to highlight the recipe text you want, copy it, then paste it somewhere like WordPad or Notepad. Then just print out that text file. Hope this helps! : )
lillian hearnHi... Am new on the computer.... also, am 80years old!.Just found your site... LOVE IT.. would really appreciate info on how to print out many , tho maybe, not all, of the recipes...don't know how much time I have left!!!!!! Please keep sending great stories and recipes.

We just started this blogging thing and I, Theresa, came across your blog. You are making me homesick for Wisconsin where my family comes from. My parents had a 200 acre dairy farm back when I was growing up. I'll definitely be visiting your blog more often!! Thanks!!:)
