God does work in amazing ways.
I have been praying for months about bringing some extra cash into our family. The traditional way of getting a 9-5 job (or equivalent) was out because I am dedicated to giving my kids the best education possible. I just can't do that while working away from home.
So I have been praying and thinking up things I can do from home. i don't have many talents, so I was coming up with a big, fat zero!
Then out of the blue it happened.
Randy sells honey at his work. Then we started making honey-cinnamon & plain honey butter(made with REAL butter). Some people wanted to test before they bought, so I made some yeast bread. Well, they all wanted to buy the bread! I have been making about 8 loaves a week and Randy is just selling it at work. Then someone said if I made a basket with a variety of breads and the butters they would buy it for Christmas. So now I am trying different breads for a Christmas basket.
It is often the simple things, right in front of our face that God is trying to say"Just open your eyes, it's right there" He probably wants to add a big DUMMY to the end of that:)
It is just amazing. I love to cook, but I really enjoy making breads. They are my favorite. I get to do it at home and I have made it a sort of cooking class and teach the kids while I do it. They help and learn to cook in the process. Who woulda thunk it!

Michigan, Here we come!
My brother and I are setting out tomorrow morning for my cousins funeral in Michigan.
Because of work schedules and such, My sister-in-law and Randy can't go.
So for 8 hours there, stay an hour or so, 8 hours back, it is me and my brother. I don't think since we both lived at home have we spent 20 consecutive hours together, alone. This will be interesting.
We don't have a lot in common, or least we don't know that we do. Maybe this will be a good trip for us.
If you think of it pray for my family. Most of my Dad's side of the family will be making long trips this weekend. Most of them live in southern Indiana, so it will be a long trip. Watch out on the roads, a bunch of aggressive Rainey's are headed North for the weekend!
Randy and the boys will be on their own until the wee hours Friday. (I hope I make it home before Randy leaves for work, I never that of that until now!)
Randy makes a good bluff about not being able to cook or do housework. He is very skilled in that area, I think I have spoiled him a little bit. I enjoy spoiling him so it is o.k.
So a quick trip to Michigan is on the agenda. It's gonna be interesting!
