Hubby gave me a nice complement yesterday

He said I was as devoted as Nancy Regan was to Ronald Regan. I like that. Had more trailer problems, but Lord willing we'll make it home without further incident.: :) Hope to catch up with you all, but there is a busy weekend ahead so it may take a bit. Have a blessed weekend!

on our way home again.

Sorry haven't kept up. Been working lots and not online much. Hope you are all well! P.s. if this is one big paragraph, thank the new editor. God bless!

We're here

Got here about noon. Made crazy good time. Promptly got overheated getting started doing stuff. Hope you are all well. No I computer tonight. Quick post and early to bed. Have a blessed Sunday!

Am I the only one who despises the new Blogger posting format?

I mean, even knowing a little HTML doesn't make it behave. Hope they never delete the old one.

Anyway, hubby figures we'll be on the road by 1430 tomorrow (2:30 PM). That's what he is shooting for anyway. I will try to read a few blogs before we go, but no promises.
That will be the latest we have left for the farm in, well, a long time.

To prevent arriving in the dark like we did last August when the pump had burned out, there's a good chance we'll be stopping overnight on Saturday night. Depends on how traffic and travel is this holiday weekend.
And how well the coffee works. ;o)

I know I haven't posted as much about the last 2 trips as I said. Sorry about that. I just can't concentrate when things are crazy like they are right now. Well, they are crazy to me and since I do the writing that's what matters, right? ;o)

So, let me see if I have a few more pictures to share before I go. (Hopefully I'll remember to READ my packing list and not forget my camera this trip. We're going to be there maybe a week, but probably not. You know how that goes. The week includes driving time on both ends. But not for much longer!

You all take care and have a safe weekend! ♥

We leave on our next trip in 3 days

Yup. Friday evening. Late start this trip, he says; but I'll believe it when I see it. ;o)
I'm glad we've decided no more quick turn trips. Sad to say it has shown us we're not as young as we like to think we are.

Which does worry me when I think about all the work we have in front of us.
But I know we just need to have faith. :o)

Haven't shared much about the last couple of trips. Just seem to be more into reading blogs (and keeping the house running) than into sharing.
Not sure how much internet we'll have when we get to the farm. May have to use our laptop Travelling Matt to update at Wi-Fi hot spots around town if nothing else. ;o)

A couple pictures to finish this up are appropriate, I think. Hope you all have a wonderful, blessed day. ♥

Thursday Things

Hope you all have a blessed day. ♥

It was a short wet trip.

But we got the load off the trailer. Got his brother's car on the trailer. It was slow going with flat tires, but we did it.
Did some mowing even, but not a lot. We were only there barely a day.
Just long enough for me to get bit by fire ants, of course.
It's healing now, but still really itchy.

Raining here, too, in between the sunshine. Crazy weather.
Have a great day!

Back for a bit

Will try to catch up. Hope you are all well!
Thanks for all the comments and good wishes on my last post. They helped!
Everything was fine when we got there Friday.
Will try to post more later.

Found this when I got home. :o)

And those of you who said I had volunteer potato plants? You were right! :o)

The plants were starting to die off. Not sure if it was the heat or the fire ant nest I found in the mulch box.
Anyway, I dug around in the mulch and found these.

We will definitely plant potatoes again. To me, they are without a doubt, the easiest thing for a beginner to grow. :o)

Have a blessed week! ♥

The Lord answered me today.

I was worried about the upcoming retirement. Yesterday we thought there was a problem.
As soon as I left it in God's hands, he provided the answer. We are both very thankful for that.

We have a crazy short trip coming up this weekend, so I will most likely be out of touch until we get back.
Leaving Thursday afternoon. Driving to Louisiana. Getting a car his brother owned (yes, the Ford in the yard); sleeping overnight Friday and coming back on Saturday -- putting us here again sometime Sunday.

Then we finish packing the utility/cargo trailer for our (one week) trip the end of the month.

And of course, I always manage to be gone when my lilies are going to be blooming...

Hope you all have a blessed Wednesday. And those of you needing rain, I pray you get some. ♥
