"Stimulus"

So we are borrowing more from our kids and it looks like the check is in the mail.

We may spend a little on the pantry, but the biggest portion will be to catch up with the bank for what the calves we held over the winter didn't bring.

Where is yours going to be spent?

Food, probably. More nut trees, maybe.

Maybe replace some flooring and cheapo plumbing fixtures.

As far as I know we will be receiving nothing. Mad

No idea. Before this weekend's blow-up in my living room (see the psychology board) I would have said more for the pantry. At this point, who knows.

Sorry. I'm in a crappy mood.

$1500 in car repairs for me. Sad

If I had $1500 extra, it would go toward next year's property tax.

It beats having it go to my boss's home equity.

Nothing for me, but I'll spend the time I would have spent with the money working harder so that my neighbors can have more of my money.

Turning barren hillside into ~1500 sq ft of garden space.

Finish buying building materials for the new barn ("barn raising" is May 17th).

Chicken coop for the new babies I am about to order... more pantry supplies, and the piece de resistance: A Country Living Grain Mill! I am so excited. The rest is college tuition money for my second son.
