Forever and a Day!

Sorry Gang~It's been FOREVER since I posted anything, not that I have a huge following or anything ;0) hahahahahaha

Spring is here, and we have a few things in our 'garden' to share

The Lovely Lemon tree


Mint going wild

Itty Bitty Pineapple


Our brand new lilikoi vine-cross your fingers, we may get to have lilikoi butter after all ;0)!


You say tomah-toh, I say tomato...Brooke's science fair project was determining which fertilizer assisted tomato growth the best. Her results were that our 'home-grow' vermicast (from the wormies on the porch) produced the best results. we bought five plants, four went back and forth to school and one stayed home, (kind of like the five little piggies). The one that stayed home, is the biggest of the five, and yesterday to our delight, we discovered that it has a teeny tiny tomato on it! After reading about the tomato crops getting wiped out in Florida because of the icy weather, I'm happy that we have our own plants! Now, if I can protect them from the birds, I'll be a happy girl. When it's time for tomato basil bruschetta or panini, I'll give y'all a call!

Project 365 Week 6 Layout




So--Week 6, we're halfway through February, good grief, Mary! Do you remember in elementary school how it seemed like an eternity until Christmas, Easter and Summer vacations arrived? As an adult, I feel like I blink and the week is over.

At least this is a short week, so I'm not hallucinating ;0). Umm, my gastroenterologist (new doctor,  liking him a LOT--email me if you want more info about him) has me on new meds for the stomach issues. It's too early to say if I like it yet. The possible side effects include, trembling of the hands, restless leg syndrome, dry mouth, etc...so far so good. 

We went to the beach today for beach day with the gang, and the weather was chilly, and then it started raining so we packed up and came home. As usual, good friends and good food, so no complaints there.  

Hope y'all had a great Valentine's Day. I was gifted with flowers and other goodies by my wonderful family, and we had dinner at home, shrimp and scallops in garlic cream sauce, which I think I'll recycle somehow into pasta sauce for tomorrow's dinner =0).

Everyone but me is snug in bed, so I'd better get going.

Have a great week!
Hugs,
wen

Project 365 Week 5 Layout




Wow, February already! Time is flying by this year. Whew, it's been a busy week!

Tennis, Hula, Tennis, tennis, tennis. We're getting back into the swing of things for the Spring tennis season. Tay's team will be moving up an age level AND a playing level, so they'll all be playing 14s (3.0). Craig and Guy are coaching, along with the addition of Coach Bruce, who teaches class during the week. We're excited for them. They will have an uphill battle, as at this age level, things are more competitive. 

We also got to see Craig's side of the family--The Hardesty side on Saturday at a baby luau for Rhoda's grandson, Aukai. That was nice, we hardly ever get to see them ;0).

So what are y'all planning for Valentine's Day? We're going to have dinner at home, not sure what yet, Brooke suggested shrimp scampi (or fondue), I'm not in  the mood...but I don't know what I'm in the mood for. Any suggestions? 

Have a good week!
