Spring is here...I think!

What an absolutely beautiful day...we don't have church tonite , so we are enjoying a lazy day at home after our hectic last two weeks of working at re-arranging the store again!!! I think we're done expanding, now we just have to fill our empty spaces! Norv has had some late hours there ,building dividing walls for our packaging and storage room,and we had to have the floor in the new part stained AFTER a good scrubbing. And a wall had to be painted, one more to go and then we're done! Let the summer rush begin!

We want to get started working outside and get my garden ready to plant! My fingers are itching to get some new flower beds in and a fench put up around my garden area..Chile style (very rustic). Norv got two little garden sheds at the store to sell, are they ever cute! They are meant to look like outhouses,complete with a moon in door(which I would have skipped) ..only I'd like em bigger ,big enough to put a table in and a potting bench and all my garden loot that I've stuck away for years! I just saw my dream garden shed on the web ,so I'll hint REALLY loud ....

I'm gonna go enjoy this trampoline and go make popcorn! Have a good week!

The pros of owning a bulk food store!

...trying out a Himalayan Pink Salt block from a customer! "would I carry this, please"? (Do I crush it or just pass it around the table?) :) .....i take all the produce home that get bumped and briused. Onions get chopped and frozen, which I love having on hand ,just don't like too many at a time! ....grabbing baking stuff off the shelves,including many items I normally wouldn't get, like mini m&m bits! Funny tho', my spices containers are emptier than ever, I forget to pick them up 'cause I don't have a grocery list anymore! ....farm fresh eggs from local farmers! ....i get to test out the latest kitchen gadgets,including the broken stuff! ....meat and cheese ends from the deli, they make wonderful snacks when having friends over!

I’m Back!

I’ve been thinking the last few weeks of this poor forsaken blog, so I looked up the other day and it was actually 2012 that I quit. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then and our family has grown and there’s been lots of changes and a wedding and a daughter-in-law and grandbaby coming and now we’re having another wedding In a few weeks! Wow , you never know what will happen in six more years! I thought about trying to catch up over our lives the last few years, but most of you already know What all we’ve been up to so I’m not gonna try! I’m just going to start where we are now! This is going to be a year to remember for sure! 2018, Who would’ve thought, that we would be facing cancer, looking forward to being grandparents, having a 19-year-old daughter getting married, another daughter dating! It’s almost mind-boggling, but I am reminded that when I started this blog and I was a busy younger mother with six little kids, that I literally took one day...

Kitchen Remodel...

This was the beginning of a terrible messy job of remodeling our kitchen. Norv and John Schlabach did the work of ripping off the ceiling and putting a new one on, insulating the new part (Samantha did that, crawling around up there) and then installing new cabinets. But before that could be done , they had to move the window, put drywall mud on the walls to cover up and blend together all the different wall coverings, rip out old cupboards, move the water lines for the dishwasher and new sink.... and this was all done in 5 days! This was open to the outside for a few days, so we stayed at Norv's folks while this was being done... see the original trailer roof shape? Here is the finished product! I got my curtains hung and the only thing missing is the microwave hood that may never be! I'd like to actually put a shelf in it's place. Looking toward the living room from the island...I love my shelf that just happened to appear after the ceiling got ripped off, the end ...

Life...One Day @ a Time...
