Our Anniversary

As we strolled down the OHIO River on our Anniversary Luncheon Cruise, we reminisced about the years we have spent together,sharing many laughs along the way.

We couldn't have had a more beautiful day! Hearing about the history of Ohio and Kentucky sides of the river and seeing all the old mansions along the way, almost makes you feel like you were living in a bygone era. Afterwards, we spent the afternoon at the Newport Aquarium.

It was a wonderful day! Happy Anniversary, Honey!

Farmers' are WE?

It's August and the veggies are coming on strong! Enough that we have been able to share with friends and neighbors!

Corn and melons are just about ready, and we have had (this year) raddishes, green onions, cucumbers and tomatoes! We didn't plant the 'cherry' tomato plants as usual, but they are coming up on their own!

Next year I would love to add another raised bed-for a run of green beans, I'm sure I could talk my 'farmer' husband into it-as he loves green beans!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SON! I LOVE YOU!!

August Already!

Monday is my Son's 26th birthday! Where has the time gone? He has requested his favorite dinner-Lasagna, salad and garlic toast! Easy enough for me! His 'Oakleys' are worn out, so we (his dad &I) have promised him a new pair, I guess a shopping trip to the Mall is scheduled on Monday as well! -Provided neither of them are needed at the base!
August is also the month to start planning for the winter weather that lies ahead! We (well actually, my husband)has started painting the trim around both the one car and two car garage doors! Now if only I could decide on a color to paint the garage doors, shutters and our little barn! I would love to have an 'orange barn', I remember when I was a little girl, my Aunt Dot would take me to an Amish Barn (it was big and orange!) that was actually a store. I have such fond memories of my Aunt Dot, and I have always remembered that barn! Grey and orange go together, right? The boys, say it's better than PURPLE! That was my other choice, so now I have to choose, wish we rented or leased then we wouldn't have to make all these decesions!! But,then,we wouldn't have the freedom to do what we wanted to, we'd have to have white walls and everything the same 'BORING' way!! Time will tell!

August Ist.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY L! I have known "L" since she was in 7th grade and have never missed wishing her a Happy Brithday on today's date!! It was great to 'phone' visit with her today, and to hear precious Devon playing in the background! Makes me miss them all the more! At least they are only 6 hours away now, instead of the 10 hours, that they were before! Again, Happy Birthday L! Hope to see all of you soon!
