Hi Denise

[Guest guest]

Hug Hug to you Denise xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Glad you are back. I know life swings

this way and that but remember you will get over this hump in the road soon.

Hang in there. You can write me any old time if you like.

I've been craving our beloved golden beets since we talked about them last wekk.

Can I find them now? Nope, I will be on the hunt again this weekend. Are the

golden beets seasonal? I see rhubarb all over the place lately. I love that

too.

I made a loaf of fresh strawberry bread this morning and it was tooooooooooo

yummy. I had to take a slice and put the rest in the freezer or I would have

eaten it non-stop LOL Donna

Well, as you can see from my posts-in-a-row....I'm back. I took

Friday off and then have been nonstop at work and really busy at

home, too.

We've had thunder storms all week which has kept me from continuing

my gardening. We're going to have our last frost this weekend, so

soon we can get our starts in.

 

I'm really looking forward to having a big veggie garden this year. I

love going out to the garden and harvesting my dinner.

 

James was gone all last week, back to Oregon to get the rest of our

things from the house. We finally got that closed; although it's not

quite finished due to the buyer still owing us money. It's been a

long drawn out drama and the stress has really taken a toll on me.

I've gained weight, I've lost my interest in cooking, I've been

depressed.

 

The horse riding and hanging out with my sister on a regular basis

(which both are new to me) has been very helpful in keeping me sane.

I think now both James and I need to go through a cleansing ritual to

rid ourselves of the negative energy that encompassed us.

 

I have really enjoyed the conversations on this group. And James gets

to enjoy dinner when I bring home a recipe to try out! Since I

rejoined, the tone of this group has been so full of love and

support. (I guess I must be feeling close to you all since I'm

spilling myself out right now!)

 

Anyway, just taking a moment to thank all of you for the enjoyable

company here, the wonderful recipes, the insightful discussions and

the knowledgeable assistance.

 

Blessings,

Denise
