petunias, rosemary, basil

Its that time, again, to plant the garden. I just love playing in God's dirt. :)

birds, bees, ducks

1. I can hear the birds singing outside. That means its warm enough for them to be about and happily sharing their tunes.
2. There are duck eggs, in a nest, under a duck, outside my bedroom window. It must be Spring.
3. The Carpenter bees are already trying to eat my herb garden raised bed. Its time to plant the garden!
   

Catching back up

Sometimes life gets in the way. But I didn't want another moment to go by without thinking of three beautiful things.

Today's post is sentimental.. I guess its my favorite four thingz.. there I go breakin' the rules..

My children. I love you. I miss you when you are away and can't wait for you to return. I know you are almost all adults but you are still momma's babies. Do your best. Be good examples to others. Forgive. Love, Mom

dentist, chocolate milk, demerol

I have a fantastic dentist. He stops when I freak out on him and takes very good care of me.. especially when I'm in pain.

Chocolate Milk (whole milk) is my go-to after dental procedures. It may not be good for me but it is filling for times when I'm not going to chew a thing.

Demerol. Pain aside. :)

friends, conferences, dr pepper

I'm surviving on Dr. Pepper. Not a good thing, but I'll get over it, eventually.

I am thankful to Caanan on twitter, for helping with my week-long issues with drupal images.

I am thankful for Heather. I can go to these upcoming conferences, and rely on tailing behind her if I need to. Or sitting in a corner. :)

cheese sandwiches, sudafed, organization

1. Girlie made me an awesome cheese sandwich so I don't starve.
2. Sudafed may or may not be helping my allergy congested self.
3. I'm getting more organized and hope to not be completely lost when school starts, again, on Monday.
   

sleep, coupons/deals, headache free

• I slept better than usual.
• I've had good luck, lately, with coupons and deals at Kohl's
• I do not have a headache

Very beautiful, indeed

exercise, passwords, and meat rub

1. The vertebrae, in my back, is IN. Yay! I could do my morning exercise!
2. Not being password locked out of any internet service.
3. Amazingly, we made pulled pork!

Tacos, Pretzel and Patience

1. HomeMade Flour Tortillas
2. Pep. Farms Pretzel Crisps
3. Patient Blog Readers

friends, dental impressions and ovaltine

2. Compassionate dentist

3. Gunk filled Ovaltine having vitamins

Friends, the Internet, Journals

I am thankful for:

1. New Friends who share their treasures and teach you something
2. Online links full of food to stuff into my brain
3. Wanting a new journal to record my way down a new path
   

ribbon, programs and fresh basil

Today, I used ribbon, in red/white/blue to liven up our hand made Eagle Scout Court of Honor Programs.

Our basil has grown enough to make pesto a few times.. I'm so happy to have left-over pesto pasta in the fridge.

:)

leftover soup, savory muffins, raspberry lemonade

I poured a 1/2 gallon jar, of left-over Cheesy Broccoli Soup into my deep skillet, and put the best Savory Muffins, I've ever eaten, into the oven.

20 minutes later.. a heavenly meal..

Now, Simply Raspberry Lemonade. :)

Fresh Garlic, Bread Machines, RecipeZaar

I used to always buy my minced garlic, in a jar. I didn't realize it was so easy, to work with, fresh. I would never use fresh garlic without a press.. but it so worth it to skip the crap in the jar.

Rolls are so easy, to make, when you run the dough setting, of your bread machine. I just didn't know what I didn't know.

I'm so thankful for all the tried-and-true recipes (especially for rolls) on Recipezaar. I don't have to reinvent the wheel *that* much. :)

Peanut Butter, Postal Letters, and Self-Planting Basil

School has started.. and the virus' have no mercy. I'm finding Captain Johns Bread and Peanut Butter and Jelly easier to prepare, by all, several time a day.. sustaining.

On my way inside, the front door, the other day, coming home from the doctor, I noticed there are two, almost evenly spaced basil plants coming up, in the Rosemary/Chive pot, I planted, about six weeks ago. There is what appears to be Thai Basil on the left, and Sweet Basil (prob Genevieve) on the right. Amazing.

I received a wonderful letter from my step-mother. I forgot about the joy of receiving postal mail. :)

Birthday Dinners, lemonade, and Pie

We made it to Jim N Nicks, for TheBoys Birthday Dinner.

The fresh lemonade and the cheddar biscuits (that taste like corn) were fabulous.

We ordered a combo platter, with Ribs + 3meats + 4 sides. We all had bites of ribs, beef brisket, pulled pork, and smoked chicken. I, sadly, chose Collards over creamed spinach, and others chose macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, and baked beans.

They brought Matt a comp slice of pie. He chose pecan. We, then, tried the Ice Box lemon.. it was rich and fresh on a graham crust. Yum.

laughter, sleep, and movies "in"

Its so nice to hear the children laughing, all the time. Even as they become adults, they haven't stopped the practical jokes, on each other.

They went to see a movie, this morning, while I caught up on some lost sleep.

When they got home, Netflix had been delivered, in the mail. We watched 7 pounds, with Will Smith, and Knowing, with Nicholas Cage.
