Happy Birthday Mr Chiots!
Join me in wishing Mr Chiots a happy birthday. We’re not big on celebrating birthdays around here, no presents are exchanged or anything like that. Generally I’ll cook a good meal and make Mr Chiots some cookies or cake (that’s enough present for him).
Mr Chiots is an unseen force on this blog. He doesn’t write, but he takes care of all of the behind the scenes stuff. He makes sure the server is up & running, the software is up to date, he makes changes when they are needed. He really does keep the blog rolling, without him I probably would have quit long ago when the first server crash happened.
He roasts our coffee and keeps my cup full and keeps our freezer stocked with venison to eat. He cut wood to keep us warm, changes the oil to keep the cars running, goes with me on long hikes, keeps me laughing and is always willing to lend a hand in the garden if I need him.
Join me in wishing Mr Chiots a HAPPY BIRTHDAY. He is a valuable part of this blog and I certainly appreciate all the hard work he puts in behind the scenes!
Hope you have a magical day, Mr. Chiots! What kind of cake are you making this year, Susy?

This year it was pie instead of cake. A walnut maple bourbon pie with vanilla maple whipped cream.

Best Birthday Wishes to Brian!
I am happy to have stumbled upon your incredible blog! You both are such talented and inspiring people. The content is always interesting but I love how the blog is constantly evolving, with new functionalities added, like the podcasts, etc. and I have to say, Mr. Chiots’ involvement has certainly added another dimension to this blog! :) I would love to see more of your video work, like some of the videos on Ethel Gloves page.
Eagerly waiting for the new e-book,
Kiskin
