The Incredible, Edible Egg

Homestead Benefits

I’ve always admired those that have small homesteads with a few cows, chickens, and special gardens. Maybe it’s the Emeline in me. Not everyone can afford this lifestyle today — one which was so prevalent in the 19th century. Today, I’m enjoying the benefits of a friend’s hard work — fresh eggs every week. They’re delicious — and beautiful, too.

My favorite way to eat eggs is Eggs Benedict, but I haven’t mastered making that at home. At home I usually like them over easy, scrambled, or hard-boiled. Thank you, my friend!


Ever feel overwhelmed? Me too. A quick update:

  • Restoring houses since October and think we will finish by summer. Sold one, bought another, and our first house will be available for a new renter sometime this year. These are the priorities.

  • Working on my next novel — a continuing story for Emeline O’Connor. Very excited! As soon as I can, I will share some of my research and writing.

  • Involved with three writer’s groups.

  • Working part-time at Van’s Fence. (Six years now!)

  • My oldest daughter’s photography business and The Arise Box are growing. :)

  • Hanover College in Indiana accepted my youngest daughter into their DPT program. (Doctor of Physical Therapy) :)

  • Attended the Midwest Parent Educators Conference as a vendor last weekend. The first time since 2020 (before Covid). So happy to meet again. Sold many books and made lots of contacts.
