Chicken Pot Pie

Yesterday the guys went for a drive to pick up some more bee families to bring back to the farm .  I don't really like being stung so I just stayed back at the farm.  We had some guests at the Kashar so it was a good excuse . 

We are so thankful for the donationas that have started to come in for the needs that we posted like the new roof on the apaartement  and the help with many other things   We have tried to prioritize , which is not easy .. 

we started with a cell phone for Baktagul , She did not know that she only had 30 days to register her phone she brought with her before it would be locked out and not usable (new Kyrgyzstan law)  she is aproching the end of the pregnancy so it is important to have a phone. 

The longer we wait to fix the roof, the more potential for damage inside , so yesterday the guys started purchasing the materials .. we are scedualed to replace the roof on Thursday , so that gives us a few more days to get more materials we will need . 

It was time to complete the road registration for the truck, but it did not pass inspection because the tires were to old, so this is another thing we had to do right away so that we are ready to do water deliveries as needed. 

a couple days ago Julie and I went to visit a young mom that we have been helping for almost a year.  She inharited a small house from her grandmother .  It needs a lot of work, but she has been working hard to do the repairs.  There is a bit of work that is too much for her so we would like to bring the guys and a team in the fall.  Before we do any work, we will get the documents in order for her so that once it is fixed up, people do not come out of the wood work and take it away from her . This will likely cost about $250 so that will give us something to work on before August. 

We brought her everything she needs to make ploff , including a bag with a rooster in it.. that just leaves me 5 more roosters to send to new homes . 

The house needs things like a repair to the heating system, some structural repairs to the outside walls , and the entrance hall being used as a kitchen could use a make over. 

we have a couple chickens that keep flying over the fence and digging up the seeds in the gardens , so last night when they all went inside the boys helped me to clip their wings.  It was kind of funny , they all took it in stride except for the two that had been flying the coop.. they were not happy .. But their option was simple , clip the wings or become chicken pot pie.
