oh my oldmtwoman…I can only wonder if where you live is going to work for you as the years pass…goodness, that you fell is not a good thing at any age…well, I think you are tough and they say what doesn’t kill us just makes us stronger…:) stay careful as you can…
Good to hear another grandma brag on their offspring…I find being a GM so much more delightful than the parenting years. Of course, I know there are so many struggles that many face and my heart goes out to them. So far, my 9 seem to be making wise choices…three currently in college. Four in private Christian high schools and doing well. Last two are 12 and a surprise 4 year old. Any one of them can get off the rails, but hopefully that won’t happen.
To prepping news: well, I’ve perhaps watched too many how-to videos about planting seeds indoors to get an early start. In fact, it’s almost as if I’ve become paralyzed, frozen in the muddle of so many different approaches and suggestions for success! I have my seeds, seed planting mix in a bag, varied containers, everything required and I can’t seem to take the first step. So, I’m going to sleep on it one more night and determine to get up in morning and just do it!!! You experienced gardeners have got to be laughing and I don’t blame you. It is laughable.:)
Handyman came over today and we did get the tool shed sorted out so working in there will be much better. Watching my spinach now for signs of bolting (I think that’s the term) so I can hopefully save some of the seeds – if I can figure out where they are on the plant. Another youtube video described how to do this if I can just remember what they said. These are heirloom seeds that should reproduce themselves properly.
Went to my favorite store in town today – the Dollar Tree. I love it because everything is $1 and I can count my items as I go and stay within my spending budget. I picked up a few items to add to my stash of prepper supplies – paper plates, shampoo, etc. However, bad news in Business Insider today is that some major investors are wanting to raise prices beyond a dollar for more profit and to make up losses the Dollar Tree corp. has incurred as a result of their purchase of the Family Dollar Stores which are experiencing serious losses. So I said I’ve got to write a letter and tell them to give up that idea!!! I like the Dollar Tree just as it is and could give a rip for their bad decisions. Oh, and Lowes is closing stores along with numerous other retail brick and mortar stores. On-line shopping is killing them. I’m guilty. The convenience for me of having stuff delivered to my front door wins out over the 30 minute drive into town and back. Times they are a-changing.
Daisy posted an interesting article on the current debate over vaccinations and the push among some to make them mandatory at the Federal government level. Important topic and interesting read if you haven’t seen it yet.
G-nite all…stay safe. More rain headed my way but last couple of days of bright sunshine have been a blessed reprieve.
