Time flys......

when your having fun or just living life. I feel that there is just not enough hours in the day. If I didn't have to sleep or eat I would probably get stuff accomplished. I have so much stuff I want to make or get done that my mine just spins in all directions and nothing ever gets finished. Gary's down in Florida working the business for two of our employee's who are on vacation. They went to France....we must be paying them way too much money for them go there. Further est I have ever gone anywhere is probably Vermont or Maine when I was a little kid. What fun it would be to go to Maine and have a great big lobster. yummm....I have become such a home body. I really don't like going anywhere anymore, I love just staying home.

My garden is going pretty good, except for the tomatoes. They had these white little bugs on them so I sprayed them with this spray to get rid of them but I think it hurt the plants. It's all a learning experience. We haven't had any rain in forever, so I have to water every day. There are cute little frogs hoping around in there too. One big fat one that has been there forever that I named him "George". (after my dad) So far we had zucchini, cucumbers and strawberries. Still waiting for the green beans. Saw some baseball size cantaloupes growing yesterday. Their so cute. Can't wait to eat them.
I'm having some girls from the yarn shop over next Monday for a tea party. Hope I still remember how to give one since it has been forever since I have had one. And the best part is that I will be able to make my cucumber sandwiches with my own cucumber's grown in my garden. I just order more seeds for hopefully a fall harvest of veggie's. I'm hoping my older girls with be coming for Thanksgiving and we will eat veggies home grown.

Poor little Presley has to go to the vet today for his shots. I am a reck about it. I have no idea why this little dog has this affect on me. I have never loved a dog so much. The only thing I can figure is that he is so little and helpless. Or maybe I am just sick in the head. At least thats what Gabby thinks about me.

Here's a sign I got to put over my bed. I just love this saying. I think it should be everyones motto. "Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much". And it was 50% off at Hobby Lobby. I am so glad we have a Hobby Lobby near us. They have such great things. Thought I missed Joanne Fabrics but this store is so much better.

Well time to go to the vet....yikes............Presely with his boodie in the air...

Before......

and after.....the fence was put up.
This is my new fence for my garden. Isn't it lovely? It's like my get away space. I love it. There's still the staining of the fence but that will have to wait.

Here's what growing so far....tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, peppers, strawberries, green beans, watermelon, cantaloupe...I'm sure I am forgetting something....I just love being out there. Can't wait to eat everything. I was able to pick a few strawberries last night and dip in chocolate. Yum..............

Okay I have a question for all you blog experts out there. How do these bloggers make money from their blog. I mean with sidebar advertising and all. How do I learn that stuff? Any smart info out there would be greatly appreciated. I'm gonna start an etsy store and try and sell some of the stuff I make....mini bears, knitting stuff and all...but any other way to make money on the internet would be great.

Happy Mother's Day...

Flowers sent from #1 daughter.

Flowers sent from daughter #2 and husband.

Their both so beautiful. They are such good kids. Notice how I # my girl's. It's not by favorite, as they would have you to believe, but by the order they were born.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.......

TO ME!!!!!!!!! One more year to 1/2 a century. Boy time goes by when your having time. First birthday away from the girls. They sent me nice present's though, but it still wasn't the same without them. That's the only thing I don't like about your kids growing up. They move out and get on their own. I don't feel that old. My Gabby girl put these signs all over the house. Hope she never moves out. Need someone to take care of me when I get old.

Strawberry shortcake....

is so yummy!!! Grandma, Gabby and I went strawberry picking yesterday. We went early and got three big baskets full. The plants were high enough for Grandma to bend over and pick. She had fun. Gabby, I don't think did because she kept saying there were bugs everywhere. I don't think she will ever be a country girl.

She is trying to look like a glamour girl. She put these pictures on for me because I just got a new laptop and can't figure out how to save them to the computer. And she is such a brat she won't show me now because she is reading and I am bothering her she said.

Here is a picture of Gary's corvette he just picked up from Florida. He isn't keeping it, he's just going to sell it make money on it.

Here is Presley sun bathing. He just loves to go outside and lay there.

I forgot to show you what else I got. It is an AeroGarden for the countertop. We are growing herbs right now. The first picture is when we first got it and then 3 weeks after they started to grow. WOW!! They just grow from the water and light. It is so cool. The only herb that didn't take was the Cilantro. I'll have to call and see if I can get a replacement for it.

Well that's all for now....going back to surfing the web on my new laptop...

It's been so long....

since I have written on my blog. Shame on me, but life just seems to take over and no time for computer.

Spring break has come and gone. Gabby and I drove to Florida (long drive). We visited with Trisha and Tom. And then saw some friends. Was so glad to come back to South Carolina that we now call home. I love it so much here. Then a week after we got back home Gary went to Florida on business. That week was hectic because I worked at the yarn shop the day he left and a few days after. I love working there, wish I could work there everyday. Made this cute crocheted baby dress for display for the yarn shop. It came out so cute. I still have to put the ribbon in and sew the flower on. Then look, I started to make the same dress in miniature for a bear I made.



You have to check out Trisha's blog (http://littlelovethings.blogspot.com/) my oldest daughter's blog. She put some really "old" pictures there of our first Thanksgiving in our house on St. Pete Beach. That was 27 years ago. Wow time flys when you are having fun. And I can not believe that Heather and Bill are going to celebrate their 1st wedding anniversary this month.



That year went really fast. They are now in Idaho dealing with weird weather. Snow one day then in the 70-80's the next. That's worst then Florida's weather ever was. My Florida girl is probably freezing her butt off. They're so cute together. Now if they would only give me a grandchild, I'd be a happy little camper.

I've been busy learning to knit socks with the magic loop technique and from the toe up. Look how much I have done. Then look at what I bought online. It's a keychain that holds a miniature sock. I got them from www.knitcellaneous.com, I can't wait to make a mini sock for it.



More to come......
