TGIF!!


Just got back from Costco and Kmart. Had a casual blouse I had bought at Kmart earlier in the summer and when I washed it a seam frayed out, so I returned it and got 2 more on sale 50% off so that was a deal!! LOL Fred got a new impulse sprinkler for the garden..it was on sale too..so he was a happy camper!!

Yesterday afternoon we decided mid afternoon to take a picnic and go to one of the State parks about an hour from us on Wampler's Lake. So off we went and had a great picnic supper by the lake. We took our little stove/oven we use to take camping and cooked the hotdogs on it and then grilled the buns on it too...yummy....


Then after eating we sat and read and people watched for a couple hours.
Weather was perfect and it was so nice being outdoors and enjoying it!!



Fred has been especially busy with the garden. After spending a lot of time and $$ to put up the fence around the garden, it's been so satisfying to see the garden flourishing like it has!! He has had to water it a lot as we have had very little rain in the last few weeks..we had our first cucumber and green pepper out of the garden for lunch today!! Our neighbor even offered to water it while we are on vacation so that is a good thing!!

I am really enjoying the new swing and getting a lot of reading done..it's a motivator to get stuff done
in the house so I can spend time outside!!

Praying you all have a wonderful weekend...God Bless!!

I can't wait for it to warm up here in New Zealand. I miss pottering about in my garden though when it is sunny outside I get out and pull and few weeds here and there. How nice that you have a neighbour to water your vegies while you're away...it would be sad to come home to dead plants!
