“It had been a very successful, busy day with se

“It had been a very successful, busy day with several grandchildren.  I was laying on my bed, in the dark trying to stay awake until the agreed upon bedtime of 10 pm, a good deal later than my usual bedtime.  When ‘lights out’ finally arrived, I stumbled through the darkened house to enforce the curfew, grateful that, at last, I would be able to give in to my sleepiness.
Children had been coming and going in and out of both doors of the house all day.  An abundant population of flies were now fulfilling the measure of their creation by providing opposition--and irritation.  I couldn’t bear the thought of my sleep being disturbed with flies crawling around on my face all night.
My plan of revenge was to wait until everyone had gone to bed in the tent and the cabin and the house was empty.
Barely awake, I stumbled out of my bedroom to spray the entire house, except for our bedroom where we were hiding out behind closed doors. Those flies had to go!  I was very liberal with the spray, desperate for vengeance for all the irritation of the day.  I took special care to spray the windows between and behind the blinds where they inevitably gathered in hoards. I did an excellent job spraying everywhere I thought flies might be hiding out.  I wanted to ensure their demise and a peaceful sleep for us.
The next morning I ventured out of my room and as I stepped on the floor I slipped and nearly fell down.  I bent down to let the early morning sunlight shine across the floor so I could see what the problem was.  I saw shiny footprints all over the floor in every room. MY FOOTPRINTS!  And my wondering ceased!  I HAD sprayed the house with pan spray and a fine film of oil was now covering everything in the entire house. But the flies were alive and well and ready to annoy us for yet another day!”

I’ve been thinking about this true hilarious story since my mom wrote it yesterday. About the lessons in it. How sometimes we think we are solving a problem the right way. But it turns out we’ve stumbled into making more of a mess than we started.
And how simple it is to mess up. Mistakes are made in life. It’s all part of life. Just get to work & get some help. And start.

We snuck away for a little quick trip to Missoula. Just me and my hubby. We met up with friends and had tons of fun. We went to hear @dawestheband and @theheadandtheheart and it was definitely worth the 5 hour drive.
I think one of the best things for marriage is being together as a couple. We love travel together.
We ate amazing food (@notoriouspigbbq ) & other amazing places, listened to live music and spent some time outdoors. Best kind of trip.

Today’s whole grain tip: Working with freshly m

Today’s whole grain tip:

Working with freshly milled grains is a bit of an adjustment. Biggest thing I’ve found is that you need more moisture. So when I’m making pasta from freshly milled durum wheat from @grainworksinc it means more eggs than if I’d just use regular APF (all purpose flour.
