End of 2011

This year is coming to a close and has been a busy year for me! I have done so many projects at home that I almost forgot how many. I figured about 18 so far. I hope that 2012 will be a lot less work and more play time! But I will never know until next Spring how the year will be!
May be I will be too busy with the 24 hens that I will not get anything else done next year! There will be a lot of eggs to sale. See ya next year!

The New Year So Far...

This new year is...higher gasoline prices, increase food cost and more unemployed at the same time job gains. So what is up with all this? I can not really say! The economy is either growing or not growing!  We still have a long way to go to have the economy moving since the Clinton Era.
I hope to see a  better economic growth this year.  Maybe a 10%! Give or take a few percentages. But to do this is to have job growth and more spending money for all Americans. To have spending money is to cut some of the taxes and cut the budget in key areas where it is need and not wanted.
For now we need to have lower gasoline prices to last year's average of $2.65 for reg. unleaded. This will help! But as you have noticed the average remains around $3.00 for reg. unleaded and it is slowing the economy down alot. Not to many Americans are going out as much as they did. Less restaurant business.
Now we  look at the food cost that is rising a bit. This means less donation to food pantries and less food to have at home.
The only thing I see is this year will be less growth than last year. Last year was not that great!
