I have grown weary in my blogging... too much going on. Well I've been making 70+ loaves of bread every Friday and Praise the Lord we have been selling out every Saturday at the Farmers market. I'm not able to go to the Farmers Market all the time because I usually work almost every Saturday :( But I have heard we have a lot of returning customers which I am very excited about! I need to make sure to tell Babbs (my Top sales person) to take some pictures of our returning customers so we can post them on the blog and/or Facebook.
This Friday I had to wk from 8:30 to 5:00pm and then come home and make bread, those 70+ loaves, and this time I had Curly (my oldest daughter, she'll be 20 this month) as my helper. With me working full time in retail (meaning I have a very random schedule) and Curly working full time in a doctor's office we miss each other throughout the day, so it was real nice being in the kitchen with her making bread for over 7 hours. I let her put on her music and we had some laughs while we shook our booties to her music. You should have seen Jerry and Irma (my mom and step dad) they thought we were pretty crazy, but the grove was contagious because they too tried to shake it up! Curly and I ended up going to bead after 1:30am. I had to work Saturday morning and Curly got to sleep in a bit while Babbs rose early to sell the breads! (Just a side not... I then rose early again on Sunday Morning , with Curly to participate in a 10k) Yeah it was a real busy last 3 days, just like last weekend. Last weekend I had my dad come visit, a family reunion to attend (on David's side of the family) ,David's Birthday, work, and those 70+ loaves to make, all in 3 days also. I'm pretty much working 6 days a week with one day off to get other things done like catch up on my children's life, and my husband, clean, do laundry, run errands and exercise (Sorry I think this is becoming more of a venting page.) I haven't blogged for, I think, the last 2 weeks, cause there seems to be so much going on and it's more than just the Freshly Milled Bread. I mean, I haven't even bought the deodorant I've been needing for the last 2 weeks. I'm Literally using David's deodorant. So well I'm at work in the midst of my own perfume aroma there's a lingering odor of a manly scent. I'm hoping I'm the only one who notices.
This is cool freshly milled news: At the Torbett Family reunion my uncle did a little communion service outside and they used our raisin bread. As the they passed half the loaf around for us each to take a piece, my daughters and I looked at each other and said, "Wow! that's real good bread" (I'm so busy making it for selling I don't ever make extra for the family). When my little nephew (Carson almost 2yrs old) was given his little piece, he followed the loaf around wanting more and more. After it had been passed to everyone my uncle (the Pastor) set it at the table in front of him as he continued the service and little Carson kept going back and forth to my uncle with hand reached out for more bread. My sister in law said Carson never eats bread and so she was shocked he liked it so much. After heading back to the house there came in my other nephew (Chris 4yrs old) with the rest of the loaf, he sat at the table finishing the raisin bread all by himself. It would have been a picture moment! That made me feel real good about our bread. This week we had some left over from our sample loaves and I have been eating it every day as a snack and for breakfast, and let me tell you... my BMs are like clock work. It's all that fiber!
I'm really excited about this bread opportunity even if it only last till Oct. But if it can continue longer with the opportunity of a little business , that would be great too!
