Think I'll sit down here for a bit... (9)

[LutherNut]

Sorry bout the drought, Stude. So far, that's not been an issue here.

I cooked fresh green beans last night, too, only to be the only one eating them! My daughter claims she'll only eat them cold and my husband insists that they're french (gasp!) beans and because they smelled funny to him when he was a kid, he still won't eat them. What a couple of warts!!!!!

Better not cut up any potato strips and deep fry them, then!

Stude, I would be more than happy to share some our rain with you!

LC, enjoyed the pic of the adorable grand daughter.

Well, I am outta here for the weekend. This is the big weekend, daughter's wedding. Need to finish packing the car and head out. Pray for no rain on Sunday.

How exciting!

Chips are a different story, you know. No frog fries here.
The English/French tension is alive and well. It cracks me up, especially since so many of us are descended from the Normans . It's a whole other kind of history lesson here, for sure and I absolutely love it.

 

[Studeclunker]

Lol, you're quite right, Porter. The British aversion to Foreign food is almost laughable. Did I say almost? It's a running joke that even the Brits enjoy poking at! The dis-trust of the French is also just as laughably entrenched. How about the explosive charges embedded in the Chunnel?

Waving a quick hello to everyone!!! Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Good to see you around here again.

Good to see you around here again.

Lambie never forgets her way back to the fold!

 

[LilLamb219]

Oh, I spy on you guys every now and again but just don't think of anything clever enough to write. I do pray when I see a request though and rejoice with you when something wonderful happens!

I wish I could send someone some rain, we've gotten to much lately

 

[porterross]

It's feast or famine, right? Send it west Texas, Ctay. I'd send some from here, too, if I could.

 

[ctay]

I know parts of California need rain bad too.

 

[LutherNut]

I know parts of California need rain bad too.

Send some to northern CA. Stude's 'maters and 'taters will thank you for it.

 

[Studeclunker]

'Maters n 'Taters, huh (LOL)? Okay....

George and I are going to attempt to use a generator to run the well. It'll cost two thousand dollars just for 600' of wire to the well head, so a genny looks pretty good. After all, we only have to run it to fill a tank, not all the time. So far, the Lord's answer on rain seems to be no, so one has to do what they can in the meantime.

All we got in the garden so far is maters and peppers, hadn't been able to plant anything else cause of all the rain

 

[LutheranChick]

We had a beautiful weekend once it quit raining on Saturday! Got the garden all planted- tomatoes and about 6 different kinds of peppers! It's such a good feeling to get that done, and just in time for some more rain. Sounds like we won't have to worry about watering the garden this week.

 

[latebloomer]

I took advantage of CPH's sale and ordered a TODP and BOC. They came already, less than a week! I haven't had much time to look at them, but the Treasury of Daily Prayer looks amazing. I really like the print size and font. It'll make reading much easier in the years to come and on "bad-eye" days. For such a large book, it's comfortable to hold and read. I can see why those of you who already have it have been raving about it. (I hope they have another sale after the new Lutheran Study Bible comes out) It's nice that the BOC, TODP and new hymnal are color-coordinated.

 

[WildStrawberry]

The new TLSB is going to be the same color as well. *G*

I've been telling everyone I know about ToDP and BoC sales. Hopefully our SS director will get on the stick and order a bunch for our HS class.

 

[QuiltAngel]

I will be happy to share rain with those who need it.

 

[Archaenfel]

Day 5 of my latest cold is coming to an end. I've been suffering from one per month since the beginning of the year ... or maybe it's been one big cold with monthly flare-ups.

 

[ctay]

I think our rain may be ending this weekend for a few days I hope.
