We’ve been working around the rain this week.

Monday

Windows are taking shape.

Monday afternoon.

Tuesday: Needed on the job a couple of hours in the morning.

Out of lag bolts, a trip to Maryville for me.

Afternoon…rain.

Wednesday

Sometimes you need a bigger hammer.

Daddy’s helper, "That’s heavy!"

Almost ready to start on the roof, one log to go.

Wednesday Afternoon: Rain again.

Thursday: Rain, back to the job.

Friday: Last log up, rain.

Today: Rain, may as well go to the job and make some money.

That’s where we’re at, Monday we start on the ceiling  joists…if the good Lord’s willin’ and the creek don’t rise!

I really appreciate comments from all of my readers, even if you disagree with something I write (as long as there’s no cursin’!) or just want to say “hi”.

However, if you don’t even read what I’ve written and use my comment section for free advertising, I will remove it.

That’s called spamming.

I do have ads on my site, primarily to help pay my hosting, so if you would like to advertise on my site, contact me and we’ll see what we can do.

Thank you for understanding.

Some Of Our Old Family Remedies

My grandfather used whiskey on on our gums when we were teething as babies.

I can remember my momma giving us lemon and honey tea for sore throats and we had a black salve for drawing out splinters.

My momma-in-law used catnip tea to calm babies, mullein tea for coughs and kerosene to repel chiggers.

My husband pours kerosene on wounds (ouch!).

Some Home Remedies I Use

• vinegar on burns (not broken skin)
• aloe for burns
• garlic/mullein oil for clogged ears/earaches
• an eyewash of eyebright or goldenseal tea for styes/pinkeye
• mullein for coughs/bronchitis
• homemade chicken soup for colds
• honey for: sore throats,coughs, infected cuts and scrapes
• witch hazel for skin conditions/to reduce swelling and redness (excellent for your face)
• comfrey (as a poultice or salve) for cuts/bruises/broken bones/skin cancer
• wild violet leaves (poultice) for skin conditions
• sage/thyme/mullein/chamomile/peppermint/lemon balm/ginger/garlic/cayenne tea for colds and the flu (some or all)
• ginger for upset stomach
• licorice root for stomach upset/ulcers
• cayenne/garlic for sinus problems
• jewelweed (wild touch-me-not) for poison ivy (washing immediately in COLD spring water also works)
• moistened tobacco on insect bites and stings
• salt pork or bacon fat to draw out splinters
• onion poultice for boils
• mountain mint/mosquito plant to repel bugs (rubbed on skin and clothes)
