Creative juices are flowing down on the farm. The sewing machines have been buzzing with the chickadees homemade creativity. Today is all about making costumes for Chick-Fa -La's Cow Appreciation Day tomorrow. It caught us all by surprise, it's usually closer to the end of July. Kids of all ages get involved in it here. Even the High School kids get together and make costumes. Then they head out for some tasty chicken nuggets or a wonderful chicken sandwich.

A lot of you have asked me about swagging. Swag Bucks rewards you for using a combined Ask.com/Google engine. Just search the Web like you normally do, earn "Swag Bucks" along the way, and then you can redeem them for merchandise, gift cards, and other goodies. So basically when you open a search page it will tell you if you have won any bucks. That's it. It keeps track of all of you earnings. You can also take surveys and win them through just having the toolbar. I set it as my homepage. So if you interested in giving it a try click on my Swag Buck side bar. Then you and I will get even more Swag Bucks! Have fun and earn some great gifts! julie
