Running Water

It's something I don't often think about, but when it's gone....boy did I miss it!  I am so grateful we have fresh clean water that comes right to our house.

Here's what I missed being able to do while we were fixing a leak!

Drink clean cold tap water
Make tea & juice
Wash my hands
Flush the toilet
Take a shower
Wash laundry
Wash my face
Clean the bathrooms
Wash dishes (I know strange one to miss...but I ran out of clean dishes)

Beef Vegetable Soup

 
Beef Vegetable Soup

2 pounds beef (neck bones, other misc cuts)
1 onion chopped
2 stalks celery chopped (I substitute carrots)
1 bay leaf
1 TBS Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups V8
2 16oz cans diced tomatoes
4 cups frozen mixed vegetables

Add all but frozen veggies to crock pot. Cook for 4 hours on high, add veggies and cook high for 1 more hour, or until beef falls off the bone. I remove beef and tear off the bones. Also remove bay leaf. Serve with corn bread. Yum
