Closing This Blog 



I have let this particular blog sit dormant for several years now as I made changes in my life. I moved from living in a relatively large city in the middle of Oklahoma to a small country town in southern Oklahoma . I am very thankful that I made this move since I'm getting up in age now and appreciate the slower pace of living. I was going to add quieter, but that would be a lie since I have chickens and several roosters in my back yard!  At least my neighbors, the cows next door, are nice and quiet most of the time!

A lot has changed over the years not only how you now conduct your job searches, the types of jobs now available, but your actual working environments. Since Covid  over a year ago,  when many had to stay home and were unable to work at all, to where others were able to transition to working at home and are going to continue to stay working at home rather than returning to an office environment, employers are reevaluating their hiring policies. Many who were laid off from work decided to be creative and at least be self-employed and working from home until there seems to be an end to this virus that spread around the world. Many of those who became self employed have found that they really do enjoy working for themselves and plan to continue being self employed and expanding their own business

 I will be continuing on with my Kay's Country Cottage blog as well as possibly Climbing The Genealogy Tree. I have notice that with everyone having more spare time this last year and seemingly continuing into this year, people are looking for more homesteading advice, improving their culinary skills along with with learning skills in the kitchen that their moms and grandmas used to have such as canning and dehydrating foods and setting up a good homestead pantry. 

There has also been a renewed interest in knowing about our ancestors so I most likely will continue the genealogy blog where I'll spotlight not only interest people in my own family tree but others that I come across that might be interesting to share with others.

So I will get out of these "jammies,"  go throw on working clothes (in this case jeans, tee shirt and boots) and head outside to let the chickens and ducks out of their coops and they can get to work doing their job as bug collectors and egg producers.

Let me say as I retire this blog, that I have really enjoyed those who have come to visit and I hope you enjoyed yourself while you were here.
