Alexandar's Blairsville, GA

     I'm always going between three different states. Living so close to the state lines means that at any given time I could be in Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina. South Carolina is only a three hour drive from here as well. The adventure began with "sales" and the chance of saving some decent money on ammunition. The 2.5 hour drive there was absolutely beautiful and we made some connections concerning our up coming kidding season. 

    This store was in the middle of nowhere and had anything and everything. I was amazed a the amount of furniture, guns, clothing, and art work they had for sale. Wow, what a gem to find nestled in the country side. Name brand shoes, clothing, and even bags lined the walls of the upper floor. The ground floor had everything you could possibly need to hunt, fish, and trap. It was the best of both worlds for my husband and I. The toddler section was my favorite! 

    I didn't really buy anything other than some canned jelly and jams! I treated myself out to a new t-shirt and Taylor a new book. I hope to go back sometime soon and really look around without the crowd of people there. On sale days you can expect to have long lines and food trucks everywhere, according to a local who was giving me free advice. 

    Teachers even get a an additional discount!

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...
