Home Ec rocked. But we sure never made goat cheese which is something I wish I knew how to do. I am pretty sure I could but I am not about to get into the goat-milking business. There are a yard-full of goats next door but they are not kept for milk nor meat. I am not sure why they are kept except to entertain my grandson. <br />I do know my way around a canning kettle and bread dough as well but like you- I could always stand to learn more. <br />This looks like a perfect day, Elizabeth. I thought you were going to say you'd spent the afternoon at a spa being pampered but maybe this was even better.Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-85997713353043451502011-10-23T14:22:07.443-07:002011-10-23T14:22:07.443-07:00Love your recap of the day!
