Great that you can take so much of your hard work with you and have a huge start on the new garden.

Machka-great news on the house. I just think of ALL that work on your dry stream and the whole yard. Can you transplant some of the plants to your new place? With it being fall where you are, would be a good time to do that.

Nothing is actually IN my green house yet. Some are about ready to get transplanted from the Aeropods(Hydroponic) into little pots in the green house. They are all on my kitchen table or window sil over the sink. They came up great but, like yours, seem to be in suspended animation. I am hope when the weather warms up…

Heather- glad you are going to be able to get both hips done- biggest advice I could give is to DON"T push it after you have them done. Take a bit of time to take it easy and let them heal properly. Dh didn't so between that and the fact that his first set failed because of faulty parts, he is still in pain most of the…

didn't walk(dh took his mom's dog to the vet for a check up so I got to stay home) but did track and stay under on my calories. Chose left over baked salmon, steamed asparagus and a pear for dinner instead of one of the big baked Chinese pork buns dh's friend brought down. That would have put me way over on calories I…

Totally understand when you say "silent neglect and avoidance"-been dealing with it a bit over 27 yrs. I have talked to him a few times(Very few-don't like confrontation so keep quiet) about it but it may change slightly for a week at most but always goes back to the old ways. Agree on the family thing- I got a call from…

Sue- I hope the tenant from H*** moves out soon. I also hope my mom doesn't end up with problems like that when she finally tells that woman that is living in her home she needs to leave. Allie- Still saying lots of prayers for your daughter, her family and especially those two new grandbabies that are coming. Ginny-…

Your comments made me think of dh's aunt- She didn't want any service- dh and I would be the only one there unless we flew to Hawaii and then her step granddaughter and her family would join us. She always said, she wanted to "go to bed and wake up dead". Took me a bit to figure it out but what she wanted was to just die…

Thanks Barbie Well, yet another holiday meal ruined by dh because of his mother. I have a nice meal all cooked-baked salmon, tempura shrimp, steamed asparagus, deviled eggs and macaroni salad. Chocolate cake for dessert. Dh came back from his mom's ranting like usual because she is complaining about having to cook because…

Here, the neighbor boy(early 20's I think) has his car stereo blasting again this morning. I don't mind the Mexican music but I don't like the THUMP THUMP THUMP that is rattling our windows. It was really loud yesterday afternoon-he had friends over so think he was showing off a bit. I did go out and motion to him to…

Cooking for four but will be eating alone- how it is with all meals here. Can you share your recipe for tangerine custard?? Sounds wonderful

what is everyone cooking for tomorrow?? Church is doing a fried chicken potluck(they provide the fried chicken and everyone brings sides and/or desserts. I will be baking a pineapple coconut cake plus some corn At home(dh and ds aren't going to church with me)- I will bake some salmon to go with tempura shrimp, steamed…

I feel very disconnected to my dh too. Mine isn't from an accident but because of his choices to push me away. I try and remember what it was that did bring us together so many years ago. Walking the wetlands I feel connected to- a place of peace and beauty where I can really think/pray/etc. Zumba I feel connected to my…

Michele- the quilt is beautiful. Sorry you had to put Loki down- It is hard but when the quality of life just isn't there anymore, it is the thing you need to do. Been through it a few times, never gets easier. Pip- sorry for your loss. I know it wasn't the best relationship but the grief is still there. Take time for…

Thank you- We have a friend who's daughter has known Jona since he was about 5-6yrs old. She knows how to pronounce this name the way we want(I just started calling him that and it stuck). She still calls him Jonah. She is 30 yrs old and still won't call him Jona and rarely Jonathan. I am sure your brother's kids will…

For the most part, I didn't care that dh didn't help with son- Having a baby was all I ever wanted and to finally have him, I wanted to do everything for him BUT there were some nights where I was so exhausted I would have gladly let him feed or change him in the middle of the night. My whole life revolved around Jona.…

no walking at all today. Really missed it. Phone company was scheduled to come between 8am and noon. Dh got up early to wait for them. By 9:30, he needed to go to his mom's so I stayed and waited for them(phone had been out for a week). An hour later, the phone rings- they fixed it remotely but never told us they would be…

Any time I get to spend with Jona, I am happy. Took a LONG time and lot to get that boy. I cherish my time with him.

The way they do hip replacement now is so different from when dh had his all done(four done total) He was in the hospital for two weeks with the first one(there were a few complications) My best friend had one done last year, and the plan was to send her home the very same day but her BP was too low so they kept her over…

Happy 26th birthday to my son. Years have gone by so fast.

[quote="Machka9;c-48005554" Bathrooms - with the exception of about 10 months when we first moved to Tasmania, we've always had just one bathroom. During that 10 months, the place had an additional toilet, and when I say toilet, I do mean just the toilet. My ex and I only had 1 bathroom and a teensy-tiny one at that. I'm…

Your spring weather will be here soon. We are having rain and thunderstorms here today. I am hoping things will work out for mom and the garden. I know not to push or it backfires. I also know she wants to do more but doesn't have the energy she used to have(or the memory)-she will be 81 in June. As for dh- Safeway got rid…

Nice pretty spring weather was nice while it lasted- rain is back. I did get two walks in today. One with MIL's dog Kobe- he loves his walks and looks forward to them. I also got to walk the wetlands-did rain a bit the last 15 min of the hour walk but that was ok because it cooled me down just enough. Thunderstorms are…

Zumba was fun last night- thankful they had our fans back in. Really missed them Monday night. I brought my little one, just in case, but didn't need it. It was a reminder to pull out my bigger one next trip to storage. Ended the day at 15,000+ steps. Today I am hoping for 12,000- walked MIL's dog and getting ready to walk…

that is great news- We are hoping the same thing happens at mom's with the room mate but don't think it will- been there about 2 yrs now.

Mom loves to garden and wants to do it. We will not be doing as much as in the past and I will be pushing to get extra help this year. Now that the restaurant wants to buy again, that is a good motivator. She will have to renew her business license . Debbie

When dad was alive- he always planned on starting the greenhouse on Feb.1st and planting the garden May 1st. It is getting close to the end of March and mom hasn't ordered the potting soil yet- Really needs to get that done. She says she wants to plant the green house this year and found out the Mexican restaurant wants to…

Got my car towed to the shop. AAA got here less than 20 min after dh called(better than the almost 4 hrs it took Friday). Said the fuel pump was bad and it has to be replaced. It is in the gas tank so will be just over $1300 plus he might do the back brakes while he has the car(dh already bought the parts so will be just…

Tracey- no, mom still hasn't told her to leave. I guess she came real close to it the other night but didn't. She knows she needs to. She just hates confrontation. We are gently pushing.
