I spoke to a fella the other day and he told me that I could get a pecan company out to my place to shake my pecan trees and they might pay me as much as $10000. He said all I had to do was clean up under the base of each tree before they come out. Wow that sounded like free money to me.
I talked to another fella and he asked if I have pecan trees on my place. I told him yes and he asked what I would charge him to get some for cooking on the grill. I asked him what he was cooking. Ribs he told me. I’ll take a few ribs. Wow that sounded like free food.

So I got the brillant idea that I would go down to the pecan pasture/orchard and mark the pecan trees with pink landscaping tape. I will clean out under the trees and pick the pecans up. That in itself is a chore.
Today I drove the four wheelercdown there to that pecan orchard and marked three trees. There must be at least 15 in that one pasture. Well, I cleaned up a little, picked a few pecans and gathered up some wood for my Superbowl steak cookout tomorrow. I am pretty tired but it was a beautiful day and I enjoyed the sunshine.
Nothing in life is free but many things are worth the effort. I told a gal I know that I had picked some pecans. She asked if her sister could come pick some. I know how much work it is and did not want anyone possibly getting hurt. I thought it over and the next day I gave the woman a plastic tub of shelled pecans.
I received a precious hug and a big thank you. That was well worth the effort.
Hello, my name is Dinky. This is a name given to me in my first marriage. It is my grandma name. A few other selected individuals address me as such. I am a onetime divorced, one-time widowed single woman trying to discover the real me. I will take you on my journey. Read if you are interested.
I feel that I am a hard knock educated person. I have been a working mother, a stay-at-home wife, a Christian, a caretaker, and a retired woman. I am always seeking wisdom on how to improve as a person and hopefully I can share as I learn more.
I have many interests. I enjoy cooking because I enjoy eating. I am not a great cook but am eager to try new recipes. I will share these with you. I have a degree in business management and a certification in food science. I have worked man years in the food manufacturing industry.
I also have a small farm. I have some cows, a donkey, some wild horses a bull and two dogs. I would like to explore more homesteading techniques and become self-sustained. Maybe we can learn together. I encourage your input and ideas.
I have spent many years learning how to make quilts. This is another hobby I would like to get back into. I am always up to learn new crafts and explore new projects.
I am really big on goal setting and finding ways to make my life simpler. I will take you through some of my ideas on that progress.
Lastly, but biggest on my list is that I am a Christian in continual growth mode. I will never be all that I should, and I will never judge people in regard to their own journey. I am always open for discussion on this topic.
If you find my talks interesting, feel free to follow me. If I say or write anything offensive feel free to call me out. I am up for improvement and self-growth.
Welcome to learning about me and helping me in my self-discovery.
