A remodel of our in ground pool.

My parents, aunts, and uncle are all gone. While I do like my cousins, we just don’t get together often at all. It’s really Rick and me, our son, DIL, and The Grands. My sister and her family, my brother and SIL, Rick’s mom, and his sister and BIL. We all get along and there are no problems. And...

Guac!

Thinking of you @artiemom! :hugs: So glad you were able to get that shot. While Rick push-mowed, I worked in the house again. My turn to get up with the girls, empty the dishwasher, make Rick's coffee, and go back to bed. I wish I could stay asleep during the night, so that I could awaken...

Birthdays in my family. I rely on Siri and FB.

I was a kitchen slave at the local hospital. Started when I was 14 and quit at 17. Part time work.

Rick had a bad headache this morning, so we both went back to bed for a while. Got back up and he mowed the yard. I worked in the house. I'm really trying to watch how I cook now: no salt, no foods with potassium or phosphorus. I put a list inside one of the kitchen cabinets with foods that...

Uh-oh. I messed up. You know those 9 Carmen pepper plants? Well, 8 of the pots were actually 4 in each pot! Oops! We have 33 pepper plants. Man, if they all grow and do well, we're going to inundated with peppers. Rick just looked at me and said, "Pamela, Pamela, Pamela" as he was shaking his...

Today is Dear Richard's birthday! He is 73! :redheartpump: The girls (with a little help from me) ordered two cornflower plants for him. Not sure when they'll get here. I'm taking him out to dinner tonight. My brother and SIL are joining us. Breakfast for the girls, emptied the dishwasher...

Happy Weekend! What is the ringtone to your phone? For me, it's the intro to Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple For Rick, it's the intro to Thunderstruck by ACDC

Last night, I got the window boxes at the WeShed planted with dusty miller and Persian shields. And planted 3 coral bells in the flower bed in front of the WeShed. Breakfast for the girls, emptied the dishwasher, made Rick's coffee, and went back to bed. Did one load of laundry and changed the...

Peas, potatoes, red beets, corn, and lima beans are planted. I'm going to plant 9 Carmen peppers tonight. And we're hitting a nursery tomorrow for 4 tomato plants. Not for sauce or freezing, simply for eating in sandwiches, salads, etc. Rick still has to work on the strawberry tower. We took our...

Other: Lemon Spongcake or Sandtarts

Nice @susanm9006! While Rick worked in the garden yesterday, I worked in the house: another vacuum, swiffer, wiped bathroom, all that good stuff. Since we've been having the bedroom windows open at night, the girls are waking us rather early in the morning now. Rick got up with them. After...

I was 12; he had just turned 16 and had moved into the neighborhood. All the neighbor kids were sledding and he came over to see what was going on. We got married when I was 16 and he was 19. And, as of yesterday, we've been married 53 years.
