Today was spent running errands. The girls had dentists appointments this morning. We left home at 9:00 as it takes about an hour to get to Roanoke from here. After their appointments, we spent some time in Lifeway. I picked out several studies I think the ladies will enjoy doing. Then we went to Toys R Us. The girls wanted to look around.
When the girls were younger, we always called Roanoke “big big town, Christiansburg was “big town” and Floyd (our town) was called “little town” . So we came back, went to “little town” and picked up the wheat I had ordered. It is called Prairie Gold. It is a hard white spring wheat. It can be used in all baking, from bread to cookies. The price was $25.00 for a 50 lb. bag. Pretty good price. Tomorrow I hope to make cinnamon rolls to share with a friend on Thursday. If I’m really industrious, maybe a loaf of bread too. Our snow is melting more each day. Temperature today was about 60 degrees. I went out on my back porch and sat on my porch swing. I love porch swings. When I was a little girl, my grandmother had a porch swing and I have loved them ever since. To me, nothing says relaxing more than a swing, so I have 1 porch swing and 2 yard swings. All made for me by my loving Hubby. The girls have had 2 tree swings since they were very small and still enjoy them. I guess we’re just “a swingin” bunch. Take care and God bless.
I would love to have a porch swing. My grandparents had one in one of their houses and I loved it. Our front porch is to narrow, so we just have a bench. We often sit on it during a tunderstorm and love watching the show.
I want to try some hard white wheat next time I buy some.

Love swings!! What a blessing to sit and meditate on the Lord while from your front porch swing.
Be blessed.
It’s Jess. One of my best memories as a kid is when we would go out on the porch swing and watch the thunderstorms. I know that Mawmaw always thought we would get killed out there… I’m glad you didn’t listen to her
