OK.. I figured out why I feel like I know you guys…

I swear you guys remind me of the neighbor characters in the cartoon Home Movies. Stop me if you heard this before, but you guys sound like the spitting image of Mellisa and Jason if they got married and moved to a farm…

Holy cow I can hear the “Green Acres” song in the background. I hope the podcasts are supposed to be funny cause I am having a ball listening to your trials and tribulations. Keep it up. Jerry

Hey Guys,

I’m glad you find it funny Jerry, it’s supposed to be light hearted. If anyone listened to our podcast and thought of it as a “lessons on living in country” well god help em. ;)

I just looked up the cartoon, I’ll have to tivo it. :)

Hey guys! Thanks for the welcome home. :-D Misty, you were in Indy?? If you drove up 31 from Indy to Kokomo you passed Chrysler, where Mark works and closer to Indy you passed very close to our house!

Misty, I was watching daytime tv the other day and saw a show on how to extract color for natural things, like flower petals, to dye yarn with. I though of you. It was interesting to see the different materials you could get color from.

Your garden sounds great! My dad always had a vegetable garden and it was great to eat the food that came from it. I don’t do veggie gardening but flowers. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to pull weeds for three weeks and I didn’t get to plant any of the annuals I usually do. Oh well, there is always next year.

Ok, I’ll stop rambling now. Can you tell I’m at home alone now?? LOL.

Kathy

Guido and Jerry, you both made me laugh. :) Of course it’s supposed to be funny! How can we take ourselves seriously when we’re sitting on a bale of hay up in the loft of the barn, for goodness sake?!

Kathy, I love the thought of the natural dyes. I actually bought some at the fiber festival I went to a few weeks ago. I haven’t had a chance to use them, but when I do I’m sure I’ll talk about it in the podcast or write about it in my craft blog.

Regarding Indy, I guess that I did pass Chrysler but didn’t notice it. I did notice the prison in Peru though! LOL I really wanted to try to get together with you guys but it was just too crazy, and you were recovering from surgery. I would love for us all to get together sometime though (maybe we could go to Mexico? ha ha). We should at least do a joint podcast via Skype — it would be a hoot!

Vonage is bad service no matter what connection you have. I used to have and I have a T1 business connection and it sucked. 2 other friends had it and it was bad for them to. Echos and lost connections and phone not ringing at all. My parents had it and same problems.

Vonage is easy to get ahold of when you want to sign up but when you have trouble tech support is frustrating.

I wouldn’t use them myself. I get better service from skype.

My 2cents.
