About Me and My Blog

I am a Christian wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, friend and who ever else I am. I have been married for thirty-one years to my best friend, Greg. We live in a small town in East Texas. I am the FCS County Extension Agent. I enjoy sewing, camping, gardening, spending time with family, traveling, riding with Greg on his motorcycle. I am learning about beekeeping, soapmaking, rainwater catchment and other farmish type activities.
The name of my blog comes from a sermon I heard once about a time when Paul had been arrested and was being taken to Rome as a prisoner. The ship, on which he traveled found safe harbor, for the winter, at a place called Fairhaven. The captain of the ship wasn't content with staying so he set sail again and later was ship wrecked. I apply this to my life in that I want to be content with where God has me and what he has for me. If I am not I may end up like the ship that carried Paul, shipwrecked.

Eating what we have

I hav decided for the next month I am going to try and only eat the food we have here in the house. To not go to the grocery store except for milk, fresh fruits and vegatables and maybe bread. I have gone throught my freezer and written down the meat I have and other things.  I should be able to do it with out having to go to the grocery, but I may have to get very creative.

That is a good idea, I should try to use up some of the meat in our freezer. I know I have a turkey breast in there from last winter! LOL!!

I have done pretty good so far except this past weekend. It was our anniversary so I had to buy a few extra things. I am amazed at how little food we can really get by on.
