Well, hello there!!!
It's been a busy week here. We picked the last of the green beans and I put them up, also did a batch plus a few more of bread and butter pickles...We did the tomatoes on Wednesday. We put up 28 quarts of tomatoes. So, like I said it was a very busy week. Thursday was going into town day and get groceries and run errands.
Friday I went to Savannah for a ladies day out. There was five of us total. We had a ball! It was amazing that five women could agree on where to go and where to eat, but we did...we ate at Macaroni Grill and the food was beyond belief good!! We all had something different.. we went to two other stores then and then had Starbucks Coffee on the way home. Again it was a fun filled day. We had a lot of goodies and all made out like little bandits. It was 102 most of the day but we really didn't notice the heat as much as we were all talking and carrying on about our found bargains...
We hit a rain storm on the way home and temperature dropped down to 74 in a matter of minutes. It really cooled things off. We were tired but happy.
In Church this morning they asked for prayers for a young man named Josh Sykes. He had a motorcycle accident. Last week he wasn't expected to live or even if he did would probably never walk again. Well, prayers were lifted up and he has under gone surgery and plans on walking again!!! His chances of walking again are much better. We just need to keep him up in prayers and continue for God's good works on his healing. Please keep him in your prayers.
I'm cooking supper, so many blessings and prayers for all of you who read my blog.. Take care and be blessed.

Hello from hot Georgia
Hello everyone!
Guess I'd better get back on here and tell you what's been going on down here.
For one thing, it's been terribly hot. The heat index the first of this week was 108 for about 3 days. You couldn't stand to be outside as the heat just surrounded you... We've had rain about every late afternoon.
The garden is doing well. We've picked and put up green beans twice now.. the tomatoes are coming on a little at a time... Royce went and picked 3 five gallon bucket fulls at the tomato farm. They're not quite ready to can yet, but should be ready about Tuesday. I'm putting them up whether they are ready or not.. I need to get them done as there is other veggies that need our attention. Bennie and I put up corn on Thursday. I did a total of 20 pints for me and she in two days put up a total of 50 pints. I don't need to put up that many as Royce doesn't eat corn. We creamed it and put it in freezer bags. I also did about 5 half pints of sweet banana peppers. They sure are pretty.
We had the Dismuke family reunion last weekend. From Thursday on we had tons of company every day. His cousin Jennifer and her hubby stayed the night on Saturday night. We had a great time with them. Jennifer is a nut anyway and just a hoot to be around. We had a great time, they was a ton of food.
On Friday, Candace, Sally, Jayne and I are going to Savannah to spend a day at the craft stores. We're hoping Helen will go as well. We just want to have a good day in Savannah and have a nice lunch and just enjoy each other's company.
The Fourth of July is right around the corner. Adam will be 8 years old. It's totally amazing. I can't believe he's going to be eight years old.. He's maturing a lot and really growing up. Chelsea now has her own car and is driving. That's hard to believe!!!
Well, that's all the news for now. Sorry I haven't been on here lately. It's been pretty busy and I didn't have my own computer. It was down and wouldn't connect to the Internet. I just got it back this week..
Be blessed everyone and may God be with you.
Love and prayers,
Cathy

Checking in With everyone!!!
How is everyone doing? How was your holiday weekend?
We had a great time in Atlanta. We went to visit Sandy and her family. She had her hubbies children and hers and it was a lot of fun.. Not quite as noisy as usual as the teenagers now congregate to themselves.
Imagine my shock when we pulled in and a very nice Honda Civic was sitting in the driveway!!! It belongs to Chelsea. I can't believe she is driving and has her own car now.. I am so proud of her. She's become so very responsible. She's just a doll baby!!! Her and her mom will be looking a colleges this summer. I'm anxious to see what one she will choose.
It's very hot down here. Today was miserable. I don't know how Royce stands it outside as he stays out most of the day. I stayed in and did my cleaning. I wanted to get it all done as I want to play tomorrow in the shack. Candace and I are going to play. And Saturday we are going to a card class, the one I go to every month.
I brought back a flat of strawberries from Atlanta. Made 12 half pints of jam. I had some tonight, it's very good. The tomatoes in the garden are coming on strong and fast. It won't be long before I will be in the kitchen putting up tomatoes. We're going to do them in quarts as we always ended up using two pints at a time... No sense in wasting a lid. Royce is going to pick green beans in the morning, so I will probably be blanching them tomorrow. That doesn't take long at all.
I can't think of any other news at the moment. I know some of you check this blog spot on a regular basis..I'm trying to keep it updated.
Be blessed everyone! Happy summer!
Love and prayers for all of you!

Hello everyone!
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.
