Hello Cuties! I have to tell you something funny my 6 year old grand daughter said. We kept her yesterday because her little brother had to see the ENT.
My husband had gone out to the garden and he and Nora brought in 29 cucumbers and only 2 squash. The squash are about over.
Nora said at her house the counter top is full of cucumbers, zucchini and squash. I told Nora we're getting too many cucumbers and I was making pickles. I said they need to make pickles too. She thought and said, "Um, I don't think we planted any pickles!"-lol-lol
I put up 10 quart jars of pickles yesterday and picked my first 3 tomatoes. Yea! My traveling niece gave me a gallon of already snapped green beans, about 6 tomatoes and some eggplants. My husband likes the eggplants dredged in cornmeal and fried like you do green tomatoes.
We ventured out and were at Sams Club at 7am this morning open for the 'elderly'. (I did go with DH though-lol) Bought a few groceries, but not one pack of toilet paper:( This was only my second time to Sams since March 17th and although I am not out of tp I will be before we go back because it's about 45 min away.
Today was the second time my quilt group met since things are opening back up. I missed meeting again. I just don't know how they get on, without ME!-lol-lol
Hope you all are well. Please stay safe, keep embroidering and sewing.-Toogie
One thing good about getting a once a month check for the last forty something years is, you buy for a month at a time. So I usually have a stock of monthly groceries and supplies and can stretch it further, if need be.
I learned early on to manage quiet well, not patting myself on the back, just stating a fact. My sister has said before, if my husband had been employed, with a higher paying job, he would be a millionaire today because of his 'manager' (me). (He probably wished he was a millionaire-lol) Not me. I have had a good life. Surely not the finest things, but what I needed and mostly what I wanted.
When we first married over 51 years ago, I told him one thing I did want. I wanted him home every night and if that meant low pay, I would manage. I told him my dad worked away all my life and I didn't really know him. I wanted my kids to have their dad home and really know and love him and they do.
You said " I really enjoy reading about what you have been up to" . SO.o.o ...you think if I get myself in a 'pickle' you don't want to miss it!-lol-lol-just kidding you
Once my twins were getting new beds and one stated she loved her "Jack Size Bed".???????? Made perfect sense. As parents we had a "King Size" and their older sister had a "Queen Size". See the logic?
We used to play cards with my DH's oldest brother and his wife. When Ashley was little and we played Rook, Quince would get her to go around and look to see who had 'the bird card' and tell him! He often tried to cheat!
