| | Just a quick check-in from the mom, here! I know it's been almost forever since I posted, but I'm going to just jump right in, instead of trying to catch up.
I have a had a busy week, as usual--enjoyed finishing planting garden (the corn and beans), got some broccoli (64 heads for $12) from a local salvage store and put most of it in the freezer--35 qts. Monday we also picked our first strawberries--enough for strawberry shortcake at Bible study, and have been getting two big bowls full every other day. I put 3 cool-whip dishes of them in the freezer tonight, plus we had strawberries on waffles this morning, strawberry delight in the fridge for Sunday dinner, and some saved to go on homemade ice cream
Had a fun morning with my hubby today-- we had planned to go to a monthly flea market at nearby Rutledge. Since it was raining, we easily convinced the children to stay home  . We were particularly looking for a push mower, for the hills/ditches in and below our yard. We found one! because it was rainy, not many people showed up (even though it had quit till we got there), and we got some good deals. I got a hot water bath canner, an ice-cream freezer, a fish-frying pan for my outdoor cooker ($5!!!!!), a mixer, an electric deep fryer, and a garden hoe for each of my two oldest daughters (the narrow kind I like, and at 1/4 of the price of new ones!!!!). In fact, what I saved on the hoes, which we really needed, more than covered what the other stuff cost. Since we don't often go to that kind of place, I was happy to go alone with my hubby and get some real bargains, to boot! Thanks, God, for an unusual day, with little blessings of provisions.
Now off to bed, morning comes early, and I'm not done studying to teach Sunday School.
Not even taking time to proofread, so hope it's readable.
