Whew!  Oh Susie - you deserve so much better.  Praise God in everything he allows you to go through as it makes you and all of us in our trials stronger soldiers for Him!  Love you and you will be in my prayers.  Sorry I just got to this post - it has been a while since I have had the time to have been on and am glad I did.  Peace to you my dear sister!

Love, Eloise

Oh my gosh, what a GREAT idea Doug!  I am definitely going to try this out!

Are the Kentucky Wonders the same as Old Homestead?  I am going to grow the Crockett and Old Homestead this year in our new big fenced in garden.

Wow, the Florida Keys - I am very happy for you - I hear the fishing is amazing in the Keys.

Okay, let's start the conversation with, who is going to do a veggy garden this year?  Hopefully, this is the year that I can retire.  My hubby retired this past January and trying to get the house inside ready to sell.  Big job.

But, once I retire we are going to start a very big garden at our primitive cabin site.  Can't wait to get the tracker tilling a large plot.  So many ideas - can't wait.  We made out a draft list of veggies - need to purchase off web and be prepared.  Still have a few more months to go - probably end of May - last freeze day is around end of May I believe in Wisconsin.  I am getting very anxious.  Planting beets, kale, collard greens, cauliflower, our own pickles vertical gardening, peppers, tomatoes, beans so we can dill them in August and ken wants to plant potatoes, sweet potatoes and so much more. 

What are your plans guys....?  Let's keep this post alive!

Boy, reading some of these old posts is great!  I didn't realize that I have been on the forum for over two years.  And, even the old posts are relevant.   

I can't wait for this new beginning...  I am really tired of working long daily hours and so much, too much expected of one person.  We are down to a skeleton crew and everyone is wearing two or three hats.  Your body doesn't have time to get to a really good relaxed state of being over the weekend, if you know what I mean.  Even with exercise and eating right.....Then, so many people bring in junk food - like today it's poonchkies - I don't know how to spell it.  but its the donuts filled with fillings and Polish heritage.  I didn't have one.  I am getting very very serious about no more sugar in my diet.  I went off of it for a while and gained weight.  So this is a leaf turning moment. 

I still haven't tried this out - maybe sometime in near future.  Crazy at work - crazy at home - no time lately to do much.  Trying to get our house ready to start listing to sell in the spring.  work work work - and to play.....  it will all be worth it, though.  I just know it will...

Hey, that is really a neat trick!  I am certainly going to try.
