CONGRATULATIONS FROM A VERY PROUD GRANDMA!!

MAMA'S VEGGIE GARDEN!

My garden is growing good! I picked my first cucumber last night. Can't wait to have it in a salad This is my pride and joy -- my basil. We've already made a bath of pesto -- yummy! And I have trimmed it again for another batch this weekend. Trying to figure out how to organically get rid of the earwigs that also like to munch holes in my leaves. But they are considerate ones, they leave me lots of good leaves to work with. This is one of 5 basil plants. We will be freezing our pesto soon!

WOW! I did it! I got the veggie garden planted. Whew! Before I could plant I had to clean out the weeds in the 3 planter boxes and add some new soil. I also had to pull lots of weeds around the garden area. We have lots of peppermint this year -- yummy for tea! We planted one planter box with red potatoes, one planter box has two beefsteak tomato plants and 1 big boy tomato plant. The last planter box has pear tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. Two summer squash crookneck were planted in the small plant area against the neighbor's garage - close to the peppermint. It was a lot of hard work on Sunday, but it feels so good to actually have gotten it done. I checked and watered all the plants tonight after work and everything was still alive - wahooooo!

WE HAD A GREAT VISIT~~~~

Erin and Eric came for a very quick visit the first of April! We managed to do quite a bit of stuff during their short visit-- doing some shopping for the baby and even having a small baby shower giving them a chance to see family and friends. Thank you to Janet and Carolyn who let us have the shower at their home in in Eagle. Everyone had fun visiting, eating Guidos pizza, and decorating onsies for the baby!

Have a great Easter with lots of sunshine and Easter eggs!

IT'S A BOY!!!

CONGRATULATIONS
ERIN AND ERIC!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

HAPPY 3RD ANNIVERSARY
