Sunday Evening

Here it is Sunday Evening. I have a full week planned. Plus there is rain and clouds expected all week.
Nice, since we just finished the garden, We put in a full row of Green Beans, Half a row of Lima's, and half a row of Yellow beans. 2 zucchini and 2 Yellow squash with a lot of hills of melons, cantaloupes, and Crenshaws.
Let me tell you about Lima's. We both love green Lima beans, However since we moved here, When I put in a garden, I have planted Lima's every year and to this date, I have had no luck. Any suggestions? Is it the moon, is it the soil, What is it?
We also put in 5 Tomato plants, 3 pepper and one Eggplant. I am planting Swiss Chard for Gwena, I may learn to like it too.
If we want more items planted, we have the space and the tilled ground. We are just tired and broke. LOL
We laughed today as we counted out our money to fill our tanks, our milk for a week, and the garden seed and fertilize.
We Have Never, OK it has been along time since we counted our money.
It has always come so easy, David always had a great job, We had our savings and 401's.
But anything can happen to end that pipe dream. I know I have lived it and I am not sad at all for it. I have learned so much.
I am more important than a medical bill or anything else that tries to bring me down. (my good friend told me that when I was stressing over medical)
I am a Child OF God and I intend to keep him at the top of my list.
So we laughed as we strolled into the garden center, checking prices on the items we usually use, checking to see if we can save.
We never checked prices. If we wanted it we got it.
I told David it teaches us humility. I love the fact that we are becoming miserly.
It is time. After all someone I know is 72 next month and it is not me. LOL
David dropped coins yesterday all over the laundry room, he said,
"I always did have a hard time holding onto money." We both laughed.
We are married 47 years next month and still Madly in Love. WOW that even amazes me, Not that he is not lovable but I am not so much at times. ( I am an expensive habit).
We have lived life to its fullest and would change nothing.
If our children needed something they got it.
If we wanted a FAMILY trip to Hawaii we took it.
How many opportunities do you have for such a special vacation? My only regret,
I did not take my MOM.
When I picked up the phone in Hawaii to call her, I said, "Mama Guess where I am?"!!!!
She knew that was a dream of mine.
I was suddenly saddened by the thought that she should have been with us. I never shook that sadness when I think of Hawaii. But I think of the great times we had in the sun and surf as a family. We saw the entire island for the first time, as a family.
Over the years we have taken more than 30 trips to Arkansas, mostly as a family, (until the kids decided they needed to stay home and work), (like I believe that one). We took many side trips, Grand Canyon, Painted Desert, Rio Grand, Six Flags, Disneyland, , The Great Salt Lake (which still takes my breath away too see all that salt). Hoover Dam, Redwoods, Oceans Beaches, So many too many to list.
That is an amazement to me still. We still get out and walk across the salt to water line. It is a marvel of God.
David and I just got out of the hot tub and now it is time to relax. Time to find a snack before it is late.
Oh yes my plans this week, Tuesday I go to YC to babysit. Wednesday I go to my Cancer Doctor to go over blood test.
YEA. Exciting, Maybe he can tell me why my yard is overgrown and I am sleeping when I should be weeding.

So an interesting week ahead. I look forward to it, As long as I can take my naps. Hey you Grand kids in YC hear that, I need to nap about 1030.
LOL Like that is going to happen.
Hey Kris you leave me the van, so Ken takes the truck, Does that leave you taking my Mustang?
Love to all my dear ones Friends and Family.
