We are back

 We have been gone a few weeks and not doing much of anything.

My birthday came and went.  I have applied to teach English as a Second
Language in Koea and have been given a few good job offers. 
I may start after the Christmas Holidays, depending on what the North
Koreans do in regards to more Nuclear Testing.

Our chickens have done well.  The duck too!
We have two chutches of baby chicks that are doing well with
mama chicken.  One group is with 8 baqbies and the other cluch
has nine babies.  The nine ducks are now our of their cage, on their
own and walking around and seeming to have the run of the back
yard.

We are planning for our future orchard and have located a small
truck to bring in dirt and other types of fill.

We have purchased clay bricks for building our wood fired oven.
The oven will be completed later this week.  We hope to be eating nice
homemade pizza by the end of the month.  I am not sure how long it takes
for a clay oven to dry and be fired off.  I do know that we have toset small
fires for a week or so as the inside dries.  We have slowly gathered reccipes
for mortar, and for the overall construction of the pizza oven.  We also want
to make so bread.  We have been told that bread ovens and pizza ovens
have different stypes of construction.  Hopefully we have made the right
choice in basic design.  The elderly man making the oven does seem to
know what he is doing.

Well that is about it for todays entry.

See you all later....
