Well, we're just plugging along down here. We've had some bad weather and much needed rain. But all is well now. We may get more rain today sometimes.
We've picked our first zucchini and cucumbers. I'm having them for supper tonight.. I'm going to fry the zucchini.. Looking forward to it...We'll have green beans in a week or so.
What are all your plans for Memorial Day? We're going to Atlanta to stay with Sandra and kids. Chelsea and Adam are in the Dacula parade on Memorial Day and we will watching that. We're excite to see that. Adam's dad always heads up the parade and he puts a lot of work into it and it's always very nice.
We watched Lacey and Haley last week, Candace's girls. She had the 3 days of work left and they were already out. We took them swimming one day and fishing the next. We went to oldest son's place where he has a nice huge pond on the property. It's loaded with fish and they caught about 22 pan fish in less than 2 hours. They had a great time as did we. I just watched, Royce fished with the girls..We had a fish fry on Friday night with Danny and Bennie, they were very good fish.
My friend Patty in Centerburg, OH has an 8 month old grandchild in the hospital. He had to have surgery on his little ear as he had an ear infection that had gotten progressively worse. they had to operate and put tubes in for the infection in order for it to drain. Please pray for little Cody.
Everyone have a great holiday and be safe!
Love, blessings and hugs to everyone.

Happy Sunday!
Do you believe it is the middle of May already. The year is almost half over!!
How is everyone doing? We are fine and just plugging along and trying to get used to the hot weather that is going on. It is starting to get pretty toasty in S.E. Georgia. We've had some 90 degree days already.
We took a long bike ride yesterday. Of course like dummies we didn't start out until one o'clock and the sun was bearing down! My arms and knees are pretty pink... Royce who is dark anyway is nice and brown. It doesn't get to him like it does me. We rode about 110 miles round trip. We just explore small towns and see what's in there...We stopped at his sister Ellen's and visited with them for awhile...We enjoy riding and seeing different areas and places, and people....We always get a lot of attention with the trike. People are always giving us a thumbs up or when we are stopped questions are generally asked about the trike. He is always complimented on how pretty the trike is...
Today I will be harvesting the kale we planted. I have about 8 plants which will bring a nice harvest. They are really good sized. I will clean them good and then blanch and freeze them. I have already picked the red leaf lettuce I planted, it's really good. It keeps really well and of course I share.
Prayers are needed for my dear and oldest friends, Kathy and Jerry Taylor. They lost their son this past week. He was 44 years old. They are taking it pretty hard which is certainly understandable. I believe he had a heart attack. He had been visiting his cousin in Florida and was in the hotel room and passed on. Please pray for these parents that God will give them understanding, peace and comfort them. For all of you who reads this, please understand that there is no answer to the question why. When you are in the fire, God is there with you to comfort you and carry you through. Always!!!
Well, take care of yourselves dear friends and family and be blessed.
Love and prayers for all of you.

TGIF Happy Friday!
Hey everyone!!
Check out the pictures! I'm posting the pict. of the garden and the new golf cart. Well, it's not brand new, but it looks it. It's very clean! I've driven it twice and I just love it. It's so much fun and I will get many hours of enjoyment out of it.
The garden is really growing. Notice the nice fence Royce put around it.
Enjoy your day and have a great weekend!

Happy Mid week!!!
How is everyone doing? I wanted to check in with all of you and let you know what's going on here.
We've had a lot of rain for one. Therefore, the garden is coming on and growing like gang busters. It's unbelievable how much it has all grown. The tomatoes all have blossoms on the, the yellow squash is blossoming as well.
Candace and I changed the shack around today, we totally rearranged it. Moved the tables around and just did an over haul. It looks like a lot more space and we have more floor room as well. We both really like it and are adjusting to it slowly but surely.
I made a few cards today and wanted to share them with you. The group of four is made from the Hello Birdie kit that is in the Close To My Heart catalog. Enjoy the pictures and enjoy the rest of the evening.
On another note, Candace bought me a book shelf to go in the shack and Royce is building us each two shelves to put on the wall for our cricuit cartridges. We are very pleased.
Happy Mother's Day everyone!!
Take care, everyone and be blessed.

Good Evening Everyone!! Happy Spring!
Wishing everyone a wonderful Spring and hoping this finds all of you well and healthy.
We are fine here, just working and getting the yard and garden totally finished. Royce finished his sprinkling/watering system and it works beautifully. And what a difference!!! The flowers and the garden are growing in leaps and bounds. The flowers look better than they have ever looked before. We were walking around the yard and the purple iris's are just enormous and beautiful....Three of them made a beautiful bouquet. Of course they don't last long, but we enjoyed them while we had them. I have many to pick if I choose.
Some of the garden plants like tomatoes and the green beans are already blossoming out. We planted 18 tomato plants and I will have to camp out next to the stove to keep up with the canning! We'll certainly have plenty to share. I also planted red leaf lettuce and it will be ready to pick before long... It doesn't take long for that to grow.
Royce also built a small fence around the garden to keep the fuzzy critters out of it. As we've already seen bunnies in the yard. I love the little darlings but they can't have my cabbage and other leafy veggies.
We both had a few sick days, I had gotten really dehydrated and had to go to the doctor. I hated going, but had no choice as I felt so bad. We both have head colds, but mine is doing much better. We're working through them. All is getting better as we look forward to feeling better as time goes on.
That's about all my news for now, I wish you all good health and many blessings. I will have Royce take a picture of the garden so you can see it in it's beginning stages.
Be blessed everyone!!!

Happy Spring!
Checking in with everyone and seeing how all of you are doing. How was your Easter holiday? Ours was great. We had some of the kids over for Easter Sunday dinner. The others were working. We had ham, potato salad, peas, deviled eggs and macaroni and cheese. I made an apple cake and some brownies.
The garden is all planted,we planted it on Good Friday. It looks very nice and very healthy. My tomatoes that I started didn't make it so we had to buy some. 18 to be exact. What I think I'm going to do with 18 tomato plants is beyond me. I guess I'm going to camp out in the yard and can every one that gets ripe. I think we went a little over board!!!!
Sandy, Chelsea, and Adam are coming to visit at the end of the week for 3 days. We're very excited and happy they are coming. We're going to go to Savannah on Friday and show them the sights. There is so much to see there and a ton of history. We will be having Chelsea's 17th birthday party on Saturday. We've ordered the cake and have plans for burgers and dogs an chili...Some of the other family members will be coming, Garland and Ina, Bennie and Dannie and Candace and her family. we'll have a great time and Chelsea will be able to get to know her step family.
We've also got the flower gardening done. Royce put in a sprinkling system around the flower beds and the shrubs. It will make it a lot easier for us and the watering chores. We're very happy with it so far. I've planted about a little over a flat of flowers, mostly petunias and salvia. I've done these in red and white and purple. It all looks very nice, neat and tidy.
Well, that's all the news for now.. Take care everyone and may God richly bless all of you!
