George






got mad yesterday and threw all the kitchen cabinets out in the yard. I still have a sink and this makeshift piece of a bar. It works fairly well as a small kitchen. And, I have an excuse to not cook. But, tonight I made beans with poke that I got from Clayton's freezer.
That is my refinished end tables in the middle of the floor. They look much better. I still have to put another clear coat on them. George put the broken door on the one back together for me so I did not have to take it to Greg Jones.


I got about 16 to 20 tomato plants and 8 green pepper plants from the Germans. I will not plant them until at least the week end, but I thought they needed to set outside the green house for a while before I put them in the garden. They look much better than walmart plants.

The way we are...



Helen sez we should post pictures of ourselves because, maybe, people who do not know us do not have a true picture of how we are.

Above is a good picture of my sister Betty.




And this is me.
Now you know...

Happy Easter



Beautiful, beautiful day. It was above 80 today. Spent yesterday taking the finish off the oak end tables that Gary made for me almost 25 years ago. Today I put a new stain on them and tomorrow will finish them with poly stuff.

We worked in the yard the rest of the day.

Helen, how did the cheese cake turn out? Helen called this am about her cheese cake. It was not setting up. I asked why are you calling me? I use the 89 cent in a box always save from walmart. I told her to try adding instand pudding and see if it would set up. Next time, buy it in the box. They are just as good and a lot less trouble.

Patsy, my apple trees are not blooming. Shouldn't they have bloomed by now if they are going to bloom this year?

I am making an Angel Food cake. Betty Crocker in a box. Not from scratch. Helen said if I just made one from scratch, I would not be buying the box again. Helen is wrong.
