Flowerful Friday

I work most Fridays, but, due to school group arrangements, I worked Thursday this week instead of Friday. It was sure nice having a Friday off for a change!

I spent this morning cooking and baking to have meals ahead for the freezer; I spent the afternoon planting flowers and herbs. 

I got most of the flowers that I got last week at the Amish greenhouse in the ground . 





I still have a dozen marigolds that I need to put somewhere, but I was running out of steam and the battery in my digger needed recharging, so I'll figure that out later. 



I got the empty spaces in the herb wheel worked up and planted...basil, rosemary, and thyme. I have one space left. The next time I'm out and about, I will look for one more herb to fill it. Any suggestions?



Here is the next mystery iris that is getting ready to bloom. I have a feeling that it's going to be spectacular!



Well...that's it for today. I need to take a shower. Am working Truman Days in Lamar tomorrow and need to start moving towards bed. 

Until next time...

Friday Hodgepodge - Rising and Holiday Food Prices, Free Printable Cookbook, A Cheetah Cam, and More

Hello and good morning! 

What a lovely Friday morning it is, too, here in southwest Missouri! 50 degrees and all sunshiny! We've had a lot of clouds lately, so this sunshine is heavenly! ðŸŒž

My friend, Carla, and I went to Aldi's Thursday afternoon to check on holiday food prices and availability. At this point, there were a few really-low or nearly-empty shelves (canned goods and freezer section especially), but, overall, things appeared fairly normal. 



Ground turkey was up more than $1.00 per package over the last time I purchased it at Aldi's.


Eggs were $1.48 per dozen. I think I paid 69 cents a dozen the last time I purchased them at Aldi's.


Butterball turkeys, normally $1.39 per pound, were on sale for 87 cents per pound with a limit of two. I purchased two...one of myself and one to give away. 


I also purchased Stove Top stuffing ($1.68 per box), instant potatoes ($1.25 per box), organic chicken broth (1.79 per box), canned pumpkin (95 cents per can), evaporated milk (69 cents per can), and butter ($2.89 per pound). Not bad considering what's going on in other parts of the nation.


Please be in prayer for Connie Hultquist and her family. She is suffering from Parkinson's disease and has been moved to hospice. I don't know Mrs. Hultquist, personally, but I did have the honor of reading, reviewing, and giving away a copy of her book Dear Christmas Mothers back in November of 2018. To read Connie Hultquist's testimony click HERE.


How about a free printable cookbook from the folks over at Living on a Dime? To download and print click HERE. (I printed mine off last night!)



Just for fun...how about a cheetah cub cam from the National Zoo? I've sure been enjoying this one! To view click HERE. 


I hope you and yours have had a great week. Do you have any special plans for the weekend? 

Tomorrow is National Bison Day, so I will be working. I know they have two bison hikes scheduled and I don't know what else, but it should be fun. 

Have a great weekend and I'll see you again soon!

Until then...

Good FRIDAY Morning - August 7, 2020

Greetings All!

Despite the best of intentions, here it is...Friday...and I've not posted a single mid-week blog post. For some reason, I cannot consistently seem to make it past my Monday home management posts and I do miss it. 😢

It's been a lusciously cool week...more like fall than summer...but temperatures are creeping back up and it looks like the heat is going to return with a vengence starting tomorrow. It is raining right now.

It's been a busy week. I worked on Monday and, on that same day, our youngest son celebrated his 25th birthday and our eldest daughter and her husband celebrated 18 years of marriage. It was a good day!

We voted on Tuesday and discovered our first Geocache...which, even though it was small, was very exciting! 


That evening we went out to see our next-to-the-youngest son and his wife's new place (which is absolutely beautiful!!!) and celebrate granddaughter, Ruth's, 5th birthday. It was another good day!

Wednesday I put up peppers; today I need to put up tomatoes.

Yesterday I met our eldest daughter-in-law for our quarterly breakfast date and, in the afternoon, I got together with my BFFF. Both of these sweet ladies remembered my birthday early and both blessed me with, among other things, the same pretty pumpkin! What's even funnier is, I had blessed my daughter-in-law with the same pumpkin in a different color! So funny! What are the chances??? LOL! 😆

                      


                                         

Today is our oldest son's birthday. After I get done putting up tomatoes, I plan on dropping a card off and visiting with him for a bit. Then, I will probably stop in and enjoy a cup of tea with my eldest daughter. After that I plan on coming home and preparing for tonight's movie night.

I mentioned on Monday that we were dog-sitting for a friend. Having Ruby here has been a complete joy! John and I have had more fun playing frisbee with her and she's so smart! She's an amazing dog and we will miss her greatly when she goes home.


Well, I better get going. It was nice spending some time with you this morning, but I better get started on those tomatoes. You all have a nice day and a great weekend, and blessings to all!

Until next time...
~Rebecca
