Last of the graduation party photos.

Yippee, I did get to work on the last two pages of graduation party photos today! This just leaves a couple of prom...which I'll get as soon as I get a photo I'm waiting on from my niece...unless it's to long then I'll try it without it. LOL Anyway these are kinda plain, and I like the first one better than the 2nd...but wanted them to look about the same, and with the 2nd one having less photos they just didn't seem to look as good to me. Oh well, it's great to be almost finished! :)

I had to go to the dentist this morning and was happy to hear I didn't have to go back for a filling. Usually I have to every other time, and this is the 2nd time in a row I haven't had to!! Yippee!! *giggle* I know, who cares...but that's a big deal for me, cause I don't have the best teeth. I've been using a tooth paste with Xylitol in it for a few years now, and I have mints with it in it, instead of sugar (I've heard that Xylitol is good for your teeth) and the past couple years the dentist has thought I was doing something right, cause they have been improving...so maybe that stuff works after all! Whatever it is I'm sure hoping it continues. :)

We made cheese today, I do love fresh cheese...although not as much with the alpine milk as I did last year with the kinder milk. But it makes a great snack, and it's probably better that we don't pig out and eat it all in one day like it's far to easy to do, with the kinder milk...so I guess I'll live with the Alpine milk. LOL I think it would be better with just Nubian milk even...but we use what we have, so that's the way it goes.

I also took that little bit of cream out of the freezer yesterday that I had left from the last time we put the milk through the separator, so I could try and see if it whips up after having been frozen and it does, so freezing the cream so we have it for later will work great! I then tried to continue and make butter out of it and....well that didn't turn out so good...now at least I won't be so worried about the cream turning into butter when I'm trying to make whipped cream! LOL

We haven't tried making goat butter before, but we must have done something wrong...first, it could have been we didn't have enough cream, I don't know. But we tried it in the mixer...that didn't work so DH called someone he knows that makes soaps and all kinds of stuff out of goat milk, and asked her. She suggested using a blender, so we tried that and at least it did turn liquidity, but still no butter chunks...so not sure what happen. It's been YEARS since I watched my Mom make it and it was from cows cream...so I just am not real sure what I'm doing yet. I'll try it again, with more cream, and see if we can get it to turn out. I'd really like to try it at least, since I've never had butter made out of goat cream. LOL

We are going to have to make cheese more often I think, cause we almost have enough milk in the freezer to make another batch like we did today...so I'm thinking if we can make my Mozzarella another time or two, so we can put some in the freezer...maybe then we can try Colby? I like store bought Colby...so may as well try to make it too! LOL Before the summer is over I'd like to try to make at least one of the aged cheeses.

Anyway, I'll stop boring you about our cheese making, hope you all have a great weekend!! No big plans here I don't think...but thats good, I LOVE a lazy weekend at home on our farm. :)
