Moving along.

Very slowly.
We found it hard to have 4 people in a 26 foot RV 24 hours a day, so we rented a hotel room.
As you know, FEMA has been no help because there was no disaster declaration.
Even the VA has been no help. Not only do they not loan if you own your own land; but because we planned for retirement and have income, they were no help finding a place to live. They gave us a list of rental places that was 3 years old.
They did replace our medications that we lost.
And they gave hubby another set of glasses.

Still, I have to thank God because we are all here. Better to spend on the apartment we finally found, thank a hotel room.
Won't be cheap. $840 a month, but cheaper than the hotel room. They do their best security wise. They background check everyone over 18. They do let us have a 6 month lease.

Minimum 15 weeks to construct the manufactured home.

So a few pictures.

The nasturtiums did / are doing really well in the cast iron tub planter. As you can tell from the first picture, clean up is going really slow. Everyone wants money, but we will eventually get there.
I know some people eat nasturtiums, but I do not. I just like to look at them.

Figs are doing well. And they taste good, too!  :)

Elderberry.

The last of this series shows work still to be done. Another $5000 to come from somewhere.
But I praise God that there is work to do and things that are not funerals to be paid for.

I hope you are all doing well. Be safe and God bless you all.

Word to Veterans

Don't try to get a VA loan if you own your own property.
They won't.  ☹️

Hello from June

Hard to believe that June is almost half over.

Hard to believe it's been almost two months.

I still praise God every day, but things are so slow that I get.. not depressed; but sad a lot.

Thank you all for all your support. Without you all, it would have been a lot harder.

I have been trying to keep up with your blogs. Sometimes I even manage to reply; but the internet has not been helpful in that regard, so my apologies for that.

That's all I feel like sharing today.

You all be safe and God bless. ❤️

The little cucumbers that could - and a prayer request

God saved them and they are happy.

Supposed to be harvested at 3-4 inches. They're still good; but that's what they say. Get them early enough and they're easy to eat right off the vine and pretty much burp free.
If there are seeds in the older ones I may try to save them for next year, because this variety, while not expensive, is not cheap. :)

They have completely overwhelmed my little nasturtiums!

If I do save seeds this year, I will have them for as long as I need them, haha, because three plants may end up being too many, if even half of the blossoms fruit. :-)

Tropical Storm Cristobal. In the Bay of Campeche. Is expected to become a hurricane in the next week. And the only track they showed this early has it coming right up the middle of Louisiana.
Which means some part of it might come right over us.
So please keep us in your prayers.

You all be safe and may God bless you all.
