My first garden seems to be doing well...


I used some cilantro and jalapenos from my "salsa" bucket the other day. That was really neat to go outside and pick something and bring it back in and eat it.
Here is my salsa bucket...



I have cabbage and tomatoes that amazed me...I cant wait till I can harvest these!







There is a little bit more but blogger wont let me upload anymore pictures and well I would rather take the baby swimming than sit here and be pissed at the computer...Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!!

A very relaxing weekend!


We had a double birthday cookout here Saturday. My wonderful sister and my precious daughter. The babies swam and I grilled. We had BBQ chicken, tater salad etc. etc. the usual BBQ stuff. What made it a good cookout was the company. Friends and family taking the time out of our busy lives to kick back and visit with one another and spend some quality time making memories.



Sunday we loaded up the boat and headed to the lake to have a picnic with the leftovers which were even better the second time around.



We took my nephew Jacob in the boat for the first time. He love it so much he fell asleep.







That was after my boys spent an hour or so in the park and on the shore first.





Here's to family and friends...God bless you all.

I find it shelter to speak with you.

My best friend gave me that quote with a picture on it last year. I have had it on my frig. ever since. I moved away from dark times and into a bright beautiful future and left behind something that brought me happiness in that dark place. It was Shelley... she is what you would call a "soul mate best friend". Over 23? years and still counting.



I miss her. I miss our "coffee talks" I miss the BLAH BLAH BLAH! I miss being needed, I miss crying with her but most of all I miss laughing with her. Snot bubble laughing, what were we talking about, omg my stomach hurts laughing with her.



I pray that my children find a lifelong friend like I have, I hope she knows how much I love her and miss her and even though she is too busy for her own good I know that our friendship will last our lifetime even tho we don't get to find shelter in speaking with one another like we used to.
