Lillian Vernon Catalog...
I was looking over the Lillian Vernon catalog that I posted about a few days ago. There are some pretty neat things in there esp. in the kitchen and laundry areas. For some reason, I always look in those sections for what's new and available. I guess that's because laundry and meal preparation are always with us. I like anything that makes work easier, frees up time or saves money.
We still have our rains so I've still got a little time to work on other chores that need to get done. As soon as it's nice again, my daughter and I need to finish planting the garden. I did manage to get tomato plants in Saturday before it started raining.
The corn and onions are up nice. The carrots aren't through yet. Hopefully, they will be through soon. i used a planting strip for them. It's just getting exciting out there.
Family Times...
Yesterday, we had a family dinner. Everyone gathered in after church family. It is so much fun to be with family. It is about as much fun putting it all together as sitting down and eating at the table. We have a large family and everyone brings food into share. They put the finishing touches on when they get here, so most of the adults were standing and working around in the kitchen. Some holding the babies or talking to the little children. We told telling stories, jokes and shared all kinds of advice and thoughts. It was just a fun time. Of course, the meal might not have been as quick as possible, but most don't seem to care.
After we cleaned up, we walked in the garden. We looked at the vegetables that were up and discussed the flowers. Each of us shared our own thoughts and plans for our gardens this year.
Last night, my husband and I sat by a campfire on our little island by the pond. Just two little old people on an island by themselves watching the fire and enjoying being together after a big day.

"Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread., and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen"
Considering Your Wealth...
Grab yourself a cup of coffee and let's chat a little...
I think we're all a little concerned about the economy especially since it involves us all. We're in this together. We all want to see those around us be able to work and feed, clothe and house their families.
We all know that taxes and expenses are way to high. We manage. We go on. We also learn from past experiences, history as well as the present. We know that we can't overspend and that we need to cutback until times are better. Right now, if possible, is a pretty much stay as you are situation.
We buy what we need and some of what we want, but not as much. We are learning, we are trimming down and we will make it. That's why I thought I'd share this little saying that I ran across today with you.

"In prosperity do not rejoice too much
and in adversity be not downcast."
-Seneca
God is always there for us in the good and the bad times. Be happy in the good times and don't take them for granted and remember in the bad times that things can be better. Sometimes, we can make adjustments to make things better. Life always has good times and bad... we can learn from both.
Have a great day!
Arm Chair Shopping...
I ran across this today and thought that I'd share it with you. I always like free shipping. Lillian Vernon is offering free shipping with a $50 or more purchase. I really like online shopping because it sames me gas, searching for what I want and lots of needed time for other things.
They always have some different and fun things to buy.

Getting The Flower Gardens In Shape...
I've been busy working and getting the flower gardens in shape. I've been week whacking and pulling weeds. Mostly weed whacking since I cut my hand. I'm so pleased. It has been so windy that I haven't been able to use Roundup. I don't like to use chemicals, but I've had an over abundance of weeds.
It is so neat to see the flowers growing and blooming. The iris are really beautiful right now as well as the roses.
Hopefully, I'll have them in great shape before I get back to the vegetable garden. I really need to plant more vegetables, but the rain has just kept right on coming.
Have a great gardening day!
