A Week In Review

Posted on Friday, July 27, 2007 at 12:07

This week went so fast I just wanted to write some of what went on here at Little House.

Our garden has been giving us many good things to eat. We have picked 6 zucchini. The girls and I made 3 loaves of zucchini bread. We gave a way 1 loaf of bread and a zucchini to my mom. We have been having tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers everyday. We are watering the garden because it has been so dry. It looks like we might get a little rain today or tomorrow. We have also been thinking about our fall garden. I really have been wanting to build some cold frames. We are looking into that:)

I  taught Mary to crochet . Last night we went out and she got to pick her favorite yarn. We are going to make some scarves to take to the homeless shelter. Now Laura is wanting to learn:) Mary was surprised how easy it was to learn and she said it was so relaxing:)

Money: We went to the store last night and I spent 70.00 for groceries. I only bought a few things we will need a big shopping trip next week. I have been working on our budget and I am finally understanding it:) Budgeting shouldn't be that hard unless you have more things and less income.

Saturday we have my husbands company picnic. Sunday after church we are going out to eat with a couple from our small group.

Blessings to all,

Ma

Isn't it such a thrill to run out to the garden to pick something for the evening meal!! I have been pulling zucchini and yellow squash, cukes, basil, and green onions. Yesterday, I even gathered a bit of lettuce (enough for a salad and then some). And I had 1 ripe tomato. It is all so yummy and fresh-tasting.

Hi Ma!

Just popped by to say hello, and as usual, got intrigued with your last few posts. It is wonderful to be blessed, and to keep being reminded of that. We don't have everything we want in life, by far, but we have everything we NEED, and that's what matters, isn't it? I am presently struggling with trying to simplify by letting things go in my house - not my housework, LOL, but the things that clutter it up. That is so hard, because a lot of those things hold memories, happy memories, but they hold me down when I have to spend so long cleaning them, or finding a place to put them (since we are unpacking in our very first house!).

Just wanted to pop by for a moment... have a blessed day, "see" you again soon. :-)
