So much to tell...with so little time to do so!

I'm beginning to wonder if what I have to tell would be interesting to some..
There are a few people I never hear from unless they have something to sell...
For those few that do have interest...
We are very proud in the way our children and grand children stepped up to the plate and handled our affairs because we were too out of it to make any kind of decisions...They were able to take weeks by rotating and getting it all together...If we didn't do anything right in life we sure brought forth some special kind of people...The only bad thing I have to say ...Never let four different women in your kitchen, or a Son who thinks he is a gourmet cook..you will never find anything again :o)
I did get a brand new microwave ..(so that's a good thing) (nothing wrong with the old one..they thought I had it long enough :o) Somebody grabbed it from the throw away before morning..and a new coffee pot, the gourmet son thought ours too yucky! okay by me :o)...
Had to change the furniture around ...for the new reclining chairs they felt we needed to be more comfy...they are nice..I'm going to sell my antique furniture..
A dealer wants a picture ..I'll get to it soon...I've enjoyed it long enough.

Where have I been?


Cecil and I both have been to hell and back and we are still basket cases
To give a quick update to what's been happening with us...
I entered the hospital for three days with a "suspected heart attack"....I was discharged...
Cecil was scheduled for a hip replacement on July 14th...(tuesday)..Monday morning I had to be re-admitted...This time they found my cause of problem...Tubo (wrong spelling)In essence it as a "Heart Disease" founded in Japan about 4 or 5 years ago..(fairly new) The heart usually mends itself..I had other blockages that needed Shunts but the heart was too weak for it at the time.
In the meantime Cecil's bone were as hard as "Diamonds" which caused him to be under for a longer period of time...which caused some complications to his system..He was on the fence..(Life or Death)..Well he is recovering nicely now...appetite is still kind of poor ...
I wont be posting as often it just wears me out...Hopefully when I get the shunts that will make me feel better...The Hospital Staff was nice enough to bring us together for a visit we were on opposite ends of ICU Pray for the healing of us both..Ginny

Ginny's First Crop of Green Tomato's to Fry :o)


What a way to begin my day :o)...Fresh Green tomatoes from the garden first thing this morning ...and all for me...Cecil didn't want any...(didn't bother me none:o)
It's funny how much they make once they are sliced thin.and fried..they were delicious and they gave me a good warm feeling inside to know "I farmed these" :o)
You can't tell us we are not good farmers ...Okay ...Good Gardeners will be acceptable ...

2nd Crop of String Beans in three days


What a blessing ..the beans are doing so nicely..this second crop looks even better than the first..I don't know if I'll be putting them into jars, This only looks like about two quarts... the pot is too big for such a small amount..
..We are planning to plant more greens to make up for the ones lost :o) This "Almost an Acre" Farm sure keeps one busy...first thing in the morning is the picking, before the Sun heats things up...and then I have to put them away before I think about doing any other pleasures...like knit or weave...just a busy little bee am I :o)...

Can someone name or identify this plant?


Can anyone name this Plant? It started growing in the garden last year..and we decided to let it grow until we knew what it was..(probably a gift from the birds).
The plant is like one in my Old neighbors yard that they brought from Tenesse..they since have moved away..
It looks like something I saw on "Folkways" but I cna't remember any details..would appreciate some clue of it...Thanks...

Chicken for Sunday Dinner :o)


We could tell this was going to be one of those lazy Summer Sunday's when all you wanted to do was lazy around and nibble most of the day...We began by having breakfast on the Patio in our Pajama's..with the neighbors new fence ..no one could see us on the right and the fence on the left we were already used too.:o)Maybe the fence is a blessing for us after all...It is giving us more privacy from that side of our yard..all the other neighbors can't view us..
With all the leftover string beans, potatoes and corn in a one pot ...meat was all that would be desired..(we devoured the corn beef for lunch).
We didn't want fried chicken ,stewed chicken or baked chicken...So next was making a Rotisserie chicken that all I had to do was let the machine turn it :o)...maybe I'm becoming a modern Millie :o) So out of storage my old Rotisserie came...I made a gravy out of the juices that dripped into the pan...put a few biscuits in the oven..
It was smelling so good ummmm...we jumped into it right away, we couldn't wait...:o)...wish you could blog taste it :o)... that's what we call around here "good eatin" :o) Cecil was moaning joyfully with each bite...and I gave him the chorus :o)
