It's not that big, a dozen tomato plants or so, a dozen cucumber, 10 green squash, 12 hot cherry peppers, 12 dinosaur kale, 12 swiss chard, assorted herbs (the legal kind LOL) and some flowers. Once it gets going I like to graze.
I'm sorry I really tried not to laugh! ROFLOL I'm sorry.O.k. Idiot disclaimer ahead: you've been warned--
I read in a magazine about how you can make frozen yogurt pops. It looked easy enough, so I went to BB & Beyond and bought some (popsicle-style) freezer molds. I then mixed the yogurt, vanilla, honey and 6 oz. of blueberries and 6 oz. of blackberries together. Divided that up into the 6 molds and put in freezer for 8 hours.
Mentioned my frozen treat masterpiece to hubby. He said, "Did you try out the new blender?" ( We had just bought a new Oster blender this past week.) I said, "Huh?What does the blender have to do with my frozen yogurt?" He said, "Oh, I just assumed you'd have blended up the fruit and mixed it into the yogurt."
So, 8 hours later, I took out one of frozen treats and the frozen yogurt was tasty and all but the blueberries and blackberries were like these frozen little rocks inside!

Life does change our plans, I never thought I would end up in Colorado, with the kids nearby. Yet, here we all are.That last part is a lot of it...
We already don't experience harsh winters down here, so a move to Florida would kinda' be just a lateral move for us.And, as crazy as this place can be sometimes, we do love us some Austin, Texas...!
We'll be just fine with doin' any kind of Disney trips we can over the next several years.
Plus, at this point anyway, I'm just not as enamored as I used to be about working for TWDC again.
But, who knows, that could all change again in the next 10-15 years.
Life is a dynamic thing.
Very sorry, trouble does seems to follow itself around.
Love the pictures. That's where we stayed when hubby went to Hawaii , for work. A very nice place. And they had shave ice there too! They also made the pina colava drinks too. Not a typo, the raspberry that flows through the drink, represents lava. Yummy! So happy you are there. I'm having another vacation ! Yea!
Good for you, hubby worked 60 plus hours each week, on a salary, I figured once, with travel, and all he made about 2.00$ an hour .LOL! Unfortunately any job I have ever had required whole days on Fridays. I'm definately not a workaholic! Haha Just forced to work 8 hours on Friday's like every other week day. Been working in Medical Reords positions for a big hospital corporation now for 14 years. They don't believe in "half days" on Fridays! Boooooo! lol. The upside is I never have to work weekends! M-F only unless I want to make up time on the weekend (that I never choose to do) lol.
Short story... (or at least, I know you hope it will be) Back in 2001 after a series of life changes including divorce and business failure, I started looking for what I could do to make my life better. On a trip to WDW and other places in Florida, I decided that if I could put enough money away over the next 10 to 12 years, I might be able to pull of a dual location existence. Summers in Vermont and winters in Florida. To accomplish that I decided that bus driving would be transferable and fit in seasonally with employment at WDW. Got my license and then took a job driving for a municipal bus company and over the next 10 years went from driver to management, thus allowing me more income to achieve my goals.That last part is a lot of it...

Yup, great evening. Thanks.Hope y'all had a blast...!
Great story. Our kids followed us to Colorado. I would love a warmer climate, just can't bring myself to leave family. It's the most important thing in life, to me. I'm glad that life worked it out for you, as well as our family.
Yup food service is one of the worst jobs, I ever had. The only good thing, after running around for your shift, you could have a "meal", and not gain weight.
I think all businesses should do that, otherwise; family time can be very limited. Before my husband retired, it seemed " he sold his soul to the company store. " An old Tennessee Ernie Ford song! He burned out at 62 and stayed on until 64, everyone thought he would never retire. He did and has never looked back.
God bless the firefighter's and police. They are not nearly well enough compensated, for putting their lives on the line.
Love hearing from you. Sounds like you are having a great time, good for you. Eat a French pastry, and tell us if it's similar to the pastry's in La Halles.
Good old Walter!We have two banks and neither have Dum Dums anymore.
One has stick lolly's
and the other has safety pops. I kinda like these though. Just wish green would be lime again.
Both also offer these in the drive through. Sometimes I go to the bank while walking Walter, we walk up to the drive through window with the drawer that pops out of the wall. He has been clunked in the nose more than once waiting for his treat to show up on the tray.
Same with us and Disney. I've never visited Universal. Kids and grandkids, love Disney. So, our decision is made for us the next few years!
Me too. Animals are the best!
I making a smothered pork chop, with mushroom gravy, cornbread dressing, and brown sugar, orange flavored carrots. A blueberry cake for desert. Hubby's favorite.Due to today's rain my boys are getting the day off from yard work. My garden could use some of the wet stuff and I'm celebrating all my veggie plants are starting to flower except for my leafy greens!
