Graduations

Graduations!! All the way around. My son graduates from Pre-K . Which was a struggle for him b/c of his immune system. The family pictures should have a caption under it saying ( Are we done with pictures YET! ) Then on Friday my baby bother graduated High School. Great Job Brett!! Yeah you did it. I totally feel old now. (We're 11 years and 14 days apart) I hope he gets into a good college or at least gives it a try. I so proud of you Brett!!

In other news its been pretty busy around here. I've been in trying to get everything organized but have way to much stuff to figure it all a place. One day I will get there. For now I'm taking it item by item.

Garlic , Tomatoes, Grape Tomatoes , Beef stake Tomatoes, Red Onions, Cantaloupe, Watermelon, Honeydew, Strawberries, Jalapeno, Chilies peppers, Bell peppers, Purple Bell peppers, Chives, Garlic Chives, Green Onions, Cabbage, Lettuce, Rosemary, Basil, Purple Basil, Thyme

Everything is growing and I already have strawberries growing . I am So happy that everything is growing . I might start planting some more to . I would like to get a chocolate Bell pepper plant and more garlic planted by this weekend. My garlic and Red Onions are so tall already.

Have you planted your garden yet. I decide to plant this after the food prices keep going up. Maybe this will help.

I will post more pictures later as everything grows up.

I'm Alive

I am a very bad blogger. I'm very sorry. Well I promise I have been knitting. I finished a pair of socks for my nieces birthday. Plus I have been knitting a pattern called French Market Bag it's from knitty. I have also started knitting a baby gift for my friend. She's having a girl. The pattern is called Smock Coat by Debbie Bliss. It's such a cute coat for a girl. On the reading front I have finished the book The Friday Night Knitting Club. Let me tell you it was good very good. If you haven't got it go get it . You should be able to find it at Sam's Club for about 8.00 which is a great buy.

In other news the reason I haven't been on here is because my Daughter had surgery on her colon and everything attached to it. Then the very next day I had emergency surgery on my teeth and jaw. The surgery it self was OK. Except I am highly allergic to the stuff that knocks you out to and numbing stuff so I had to be awake and feel the hole thing. Then Recovery time starts Right!! Not for me I wound up being allergic to 3 different types of antibiotics and I had to have the stitches removed was to early because I was allergic to the stitches. Who knew you could be allergic to stitches . Well I am that 1 in 1million case. I have always been that way. I 'm just glad they took them out. I already feel 100% better. Know I have a few more things to add to my allergy list. I would wish what I go through on anyone. I am just glad I can eat and talk know. Plus most of the pain is gone.

On a lite note I planted a garden . I planted everything in pots. Stay tuned for pictures. !!

Happy Knitting Have A Wonderful Day!!
