    Pam, pigs make good bacon.

    Karen, thank you; Sunday is always a good day to stay home.

    Dewena, me too…rich but not wealthy.

    Midlife, hope Leigh is doing better.

    Lisa, and to you as well, thanks!

    Glenda, we're all so blessed.

    Leigh, Rogers was a many of great common sense. I'm going to include your book on a blog post this month.

    True confession, I love Will Rogers!
    His quote is a great addition to your already great collection.

    And as a fellow writer, may I shamelessly announce the publication of my own homesteading book! (I'm so excited). Please come by my blog to take a look. 🙂

    All excellent good advice! The Obamanations should take special notice of the "Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn." but I know such wisdom is like throwing pearls amoung swine. ~:)
