Good morning!

I feel so behind this morning! I had meetings all day and couldn’t get onto this site until after dinner! I was stressing all day, not being able to BYC with all my peeps!

Happy Saturday! Have a FUN-omenal day!

Just basic stuff. I bought a bunch of different types of tomatoes that are blight resistant. I'm going to try my peppers in pots as I've had an issue with blossom drop the last two years. Cukes, zucchini, yellow squash, peas, beans and cantaloupe, lettuce, spinach, chard and herbs. My asparagus is on it's second year. When funds permit, I'm going to be adding another bed just for asparagus.

ETA: And I'm going to try Broccoli, cabbage and brussles again and see if I can keep the moths out.



You'll do great, just a word of warning... Kids today speak a different language and it takes a bit to understand it. Some of it still just flies right over my head.

My boys are 21 and 22 so I’m not totally out of the loop but I know things have changed.

I'm sitting here trying to figure out what I'd drive 9 hours one way for....hmmm, ain't got nothing.

How about to visit family, or go on vacation?

DH is going back to Casper today and I might follow him up there. It's his b-day today so we're talking about going out for a nice dinner while we're both up there. Plus, I'd like to see the house.

So...are you getting excited about your new job? I am Looking forward to hearing how it goes for you!

Happy Birthday to the hubby!

Your garden sounds nice Bob! That's one of those things I miss about living out here, we don't have the place or time to do a spring/summer garden.

I understand that feeling! You have a great Saturday Tina! Any special plans?

Happy Birthday to the hubby!

I'll pass it along to him, thanks Cap!

Ok, so far...my nephew is suppose to come by today! My brother wants him to pick up the pot bellied stove I have....I have mixed feelings about giving it to my brother. I was going to use it in my shop but I haven't got around to getting it put in, yet. Oh well.

My theory is that if I really, really wanted to do something I’d have done it, or found someone to do it for me. So cheer up! You’re not losing a stove - you’re gaining free time!

I'm sitting here trying to figure out what I'd drive 9 hours one way for....hmmm, ain't got nothing.

Oh, man, don’t get ME started on 9 hour drives to nothing! I can’t tell you how many of these long drives for visitations we’ve done where we get there and there’s no dinner planned, just the meeting, and no other ladies are there. So I sit in the closed off part of the Lodge building with not a soul to talk to, a phone and iPad I couldn’t really use to come here and visit, and a book that I wasn’t really interested in reading! A lot of times there was no way to know in advance if there would be anyone else there. If I knew in advance that there was nothing going on except the meeting, I just stayed in the hotel.

I would for some pheasants but that's about it. Yeah, pretty sad when you drive 9hrs and don't even leave the state!

From September to the end of Novenber we put 18,000 miles on the car - and never left the state! Texas might be big, but here we have to drive around and up and over to get anywhere! So what looks like a simple 200 mile drive turns into anything but!

DH is going back to Casper today and I might follow him up there. It's his b-day today so we're talking about going out for a nice dinner while we're both up there. Plus, I'd like to see the house.

So...are you getting excited about your new job? I am Looking forward to hearing how it goes for you!

Happy birthday, Frankenfoot!!!! I agree with the others, Debby! Pictures!!! Drive carefully, especially if you take Muddy Gap through the Gas Hills!

Morning Bob! You didn’t miss anything. I messaged Debby and just announced this morning. I got a job as a Para at the High School and I start on Monday. I don’t like starting new jobs so I rarely step out of my nice comfy box.

Congratulations!!!! That’s so exciting, and you’ll be wonderful! That comfy box is overrated, as I’ve found over the last year! I ain’t the “formals and fancy duds” type, and I can’t hear in crowds. Plus if I get nervous, that da.....darned old stutter tends to come back. But I have to confess that despite my complaints, which I guess have been many, once I stepped out of that box I’ve had a lot of fun, too! I’m excited for you!

Nothing new here. Took a Fee to her second home yesterday after the kids picked Katie and Kendra up. Silly dog - we get there and she prances around like a clumsy ballerina, waiting for Lee to come out to put her a kennel collar on, then check her in. Then Lee opens the door to the kennels and Fee charges in and plops her hiney down right in front of her run, waiting for the gate to open so she can run in. So glad we found such a great place, but kennel bills are starting to eat us alive!

Kendra got sick at school yesterday so we had to go get her early. Little stinker got here and played hard the rest of the day. I think she’s learned to play hooky! She was helping me clean house again! Oh joy! She’s decided that if the floors need mopping, she can hit the water dispenser on the fridge, let ‘er run, and because I toss her some paper towels and warn her to clean up her mess, she’s mopping the floor! Yes, I have a lock button, and yes, she just reaches up and hits the button to unlock it. But it is kinda cute, even if she does end up soaking wet. Yesterday she decided it was the sink that needed to be cleaned, followed by sweeping the floor. Man, I love that kid, and as annoying as it can get, we know she’s mimicing behaviors and doing more than the doctors told us she would ever be capable of doing, so we’ll take it!

Just errand running. Nothing special. Wish I could be out to spring clean my coops and barn!!!!!

Should probably clarify/explain that I was up early (5:30) because we left at 6 (actually like 5 of because I was ready early) to go to the cabin. FSIL and I and the dogs for the weekend.

Sounds like a great weekend in store! Have fun and take pictures!
