WHATS HAPPENING SATURDAY ....

 

 

Wasn’t Friday a beautiful day....oh my goodness. Joe and I spent all day from about 10am  till 3pm mowing and weed eating  the place....we have a lot to mow you know and that is with Andy and Susan mowing their yard.  It hasn’t been mowed all of it at one time since  every time we start to mow it starts raining...but we got completely done today....wow. lots of grass still ...Joe says don’t you want to make some other flower beds lol...he said just join them on to  ones you have made already then we will make a wooden walk way in between , silly man....i told him I want one of the torches to get rid of weeds .im tired of trying to use poison and it blowing back on me , and it will be better for the environment too .

 

Joe is fixing me a place to hang my topsy turvy. Tomorrow. I have an old well pully and he is going to  put it up with some rope we have so I can let it down low enough to water it and see how this works . I also have some heavy plastic bags to hang on a porch post to fill up with flowers. Like impatients or anything that trails some.

Our garden is really looking good....Our Broccoli are starting to put on heads I think....they really look good so does everything else too for sure. Im really excited about how well it looks. I have been putting cardboard down in between the plants to help keep the grass down ....next time I go to town im buying some preen for gardens to put down between the plants to try and keep the weeds down......then this fall we will add some horse poop and plow all of that with the cardboard all under. the cardboard and the poop will help the ground and will maybe put down a pre emergence . of course the Bermuda grass will continue to grow. We will have to dig and pull by hands again next year and possible several years to come but hopefully we can win or at least partially win.

 

Well day two on the liquid diet...no problems...wanted something sweet , went and got a s.f. popcycle then got another one...sure tasted good but was able to avoid anything else. Thought those bananas look really good...but they aren’t liquid hmmmmmm if I put one in my protein shake would that be fair????im getting ready here at 8 pm to make my 4^th protein shake of the day....that will give me 110 grams of protein.  and drank 80 oz of water 2 s.f. popcycles.  Tomorrow I will add some jello I forgot I could have that. Made some just while ago so it will be ready in a couple of hours. But probably wont eat it till tomorrow. So im doing really well will see if it pays off at the end of the week....im trying to keep the calories up but pretty hard with liquids. Lol

 

 

SUSAN:::::I sure was glad that they finally voted Coach out last night hate that he will be on the juror. think they should have voted him out long ago....

No the liquid diet isn’t too bad or at least it isn’t for me. Im sort of enjoying it actually.

No many decisions.

 

SUSIE::::: don’t know how you think pork rinds are bad, they are nothing but protein. good something to eat.

No carbs or sugar...7grams of protein in only ½ oz....and I don’t think you could possible eat too many of them or I couldn’t  how many did you eat anyway girl.???lol

 

Hey I hope the new people that you have ask do come down...that is great of you to ask them ....anxious to see you and you wont know our Susan...she is getting close to that mark of going below 200 pounds she is excited. And Andy is getting really close to going under 300 it will be a contest for them of who will go below first. One day soon I will hear some one yelling over there lol

 

 

 

JO-------- so happy for you to get the xs of anything out of the closet.  Is a very excittijn think isn’t it. ?.

We would love to see you at one of our support meetings. If you will look at the COF support meeting posting I did today you can see where we meet and all...and how to get there
can I ask you to do something for an old woman? Can you please make you font bigger? I have to really look and look to see it.....

 

 

 

 

So Blessed & Thankfull We Are Ok!

It was about 1/2 mile from us and we did not have any damage. The storms last night was scary 4 inches of rain... My poor little kitchen garden (formerly the herb garden off the patio) is still flooded. All the work I went thru to clean off the patio and did the grass & weed killer (roundup) around all the bricks was wasted. I had to slap myself and say at least I still have a patio as well as a roof over my head where as others do not have anything now except the remains of their 1/2 million dollar homes.

Jan - I made some upside down planters using some coconut fiber I got at Walmart.  I couldn't find any cheap hanging baskets so I made 3 with what I already had and the fiber is easy to cut and shape.   Bought 3 of the wire baskets that already have the fiber in them.  So far they look great and the plants look healthy so far - LOL.  I have a 6 plant umbrella like stand that I am using to hang the planters.  I will plant some herbs on the top of them to help hold in the moisture also.

Had to pick up some prilosec otc and other things at one of our Dollar general store and while I was on the hiway I ran over some debris that I could not avoid. I went in the store and got my things and while waiting for the rain to let up standing under the canopy outside the store I wondered why my car was looking lopsided. The rain let up and I found out why... I had a flat. The tire was ruined and then the sky opened up while I was changing the tire. I looked like a drowned rat. I had 2 men stop and try to help me and actually got asked out by the 81 year old man. I turned him down gently. I noticed that he followed my car into walmart to make sure I got there ok. Maybe I should have accepted his invitation as he was driving a Lexus! To top this all off I remembered I had the road hazard clause with my car insurance and it would have taken care of having my tire changed etc... while I was waiting at walmart.

I am on-call from 6am to 2pm so I can't really plan anything except to clean house as I have several out of town realtives coming in this evening for Dad's birthday tomorrow. Will play on the computer a bit longer then have to get busy...

Have a great weekend Everyone!

 

Well today is the fish fry and Im excited to get that over with and see how much we make...Please pray that it is enough to send Susan and maybe even another young man that is wanting to go...I will be happy with just making our investment back and getting those 2 things accomplished. I was willing to pay my full amount if necessary..

I listed my wedding supplies on craigslist but no inquiries yet on it. I didnt list a price but didnt know how to price it all and that is how I would like to sell it. But I guess I would sell it individually too.

Hopefully the rain will be out of here shortly and we will have another beautiful day like yesterday...

Sis, go ahead a post about the reunion! We will see what happens

Love to all and hope you all have a wonderful day!

Hello all;
Hope you are all having a better month than we are. I have hated the month of May anyway. I lost both my parents in the month of May, what are the odds of that? We just lost a close cousin last week. Dear hubby broke his hand last week and now.....his just finished a Tracker he has been getting ready for resale and this morning he balanced the tires and had it in the driveway with blocks in front of the wheels, well, a friend of ours was trying to help out (when hubby stepped into the house for a minutes) and took the blocks out from the tires, needless to say it was in neutral and it began rolling down a 1000 foot incline driveway heading towards the quarter acre pond, by the grace of god, first of all no one was hurt, the car ran over a huge boulder and hit a tree. Totaled the car! No one got mad and our friend is so sick about it. But, as hubby says, what can you do? It does make the pit of your stomach sick. Please pray for my dear hubby sanity. If it weren't for the fact my grand daughters just turned 16 this month, I would like to just crawl in a hole and just pass over the month of May!!!!!

Love you all!!!
