Teaparty today....

Today I had some of my lady friends from the yarn shop over for a lovely teaparty. I almost forgot how to give one since it has been over a year since I put one on. But I think a good time was had by all. Here's a picture Gabby took of us at the table.....from right to left...Emerald, Kelsey, me, Margaret, Nancy and Annette. Margaret is the owner of "yes yarn" yarn shop that we meet every Wednesday afternoon and sit and knit/crochet. I am very thankful to her for opening this beautiful shop and that I have meet some lovely ladies that I can call my friends. Don't get me wrong, I still miss my friends in Florida terribly, especially "Lori". We use to have some lovely teaparties together. And always laughing hard about something or someone. But I have a new life here in South Carolina, and I really do love it.

Midlife crisis or what.............

I really don't know what is going on with Gary these days....
....here he is with another toy..........and a stupid tattoo...........then he made me get some tattoo's........
what was I thinking.............lol........old age crisis I think...............or just having fun and trying to let our kids know we are cool..............

Zucchini....

can you believe how big this zucchini grew. I was out watering this morning, picked just one and then went back and look at what I found. It is as big as Presley..........

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.
