Housekeeping

#1 Doing a little housekeeping on the blog today. I found that some people who are my personal friends on FB and also follow my business page on FB are getting multiple posts from both of my sites. When I investigated, I found that network blogs was still feeding my blog under the original name Grama Sue's Farm and Flea Market as well as it's current name, Grama Sue's Rainbow Farm. I went in to delete the old name and found that it still had 20 followers. Network blogs suggested that perhaps I didn't want to delete the blog since there were still people following it.

So, if you follow this blog with an RSS feed, please check to see that it is under the name Grama Sue's Rainbow Farm. If not, click on the blue link and follow me from there. I will be deleting the Grama Sue's Farm and Flea Market feed at the end of March.

# 2 I'd like to get an idea about how people who read regularly are receiving this blog. Are you getting it by e-mail, RSS, through FB or a combination? Please leave a comment :) It will help my ratings in the Google standings :)

#3 I want to update my blog list. If you have a blog, please list your site in the comments.

Thanks!

God Bless You All!

Beyond the Paycheck

The Rebel. That's what my neighbor dubbed me when I was a teen. Still am. Grampa Tom was always the black sheep too ... We’re a couple of radicals who are fiercely independent. The idea of punching a time clock really goes against the grain of our personalities. This blog will chronicle our journey away from the paycheck.

Grampa Tom had a great job managing a farm that gave him the freedom to set his own hours and a steady source of income. After 10 years his boss decided to give up the stress of overseeing the farm and rented out the ground. We couldn’t blame her, but it left us out in the cold. It’s not the first time he’s had a really good job that evaporated through no fault of his own. Our kids are grown. He’s a fantastic farmer and we’ve managed to accumulate a few acres over the years. We figure it’s time he struck out on his own.

Me – I haven’t held what you would call a regular job in years. I got into Avon full-time several years ago, then I started babysitting and homeschooling other people’s kids. I've also done elder care for many, many years and I'm the duly elected tax assessor for the local tax district.

We've always wanted an Old McDonald's type of farm. Grampa's main focus right now is pasture raised eggs and garden veggies. He is very interested in producing pasture raised poultry and milking cows but we're not set up for that yet. Need some more land and buildings! This little 3 acres here ain't quite enough for all dem critters! We have lots of chickens a couple of dogs, and way to many cats. We also raise cows, pigs, sheep, geese and turkeys, but these aren't always on the farm.

I'm focusing on egg noodles, baked goods and herbs for the moment. I'd love to work more on crafts to sell at farmer's markets and craft shows, but there's only so much time in a day! I often think about how great it would be to live 900 years like they did in pre-flood days. There is so much I want to do and learn! I know I've got eternity, but it seems my time on earth is disappearing in a flash! At best, there's only 30 or 40 years left to go!

Hope you enjoy this little window into our lives and our farm!
