    Hope you are all doing great.  I am trying to get on here more often to catch up a little bit, instead of just reading the subs email.

    I am so excited about the impending arrival of my Grand Daughter! 


    wishing you all a...
    Happy Friday!
    Happy Weekend!
    Happy Thanksgiving next week already!

  • My Grand Daughter!

    She's due in December,

    but here is a sneak peak - grin


  • A little more



    So, he drives a big truck, local runs, home every night.  He's also a Master Mechanic, a Carpenter.  Smartest, Funniest man I've ever known.

    He's an ex-Marine.

    His name's Jim

    He's got 3 kids, 7 grandkids.  His oldest son is just a year older than my oldest son :).

     

    He's 6 years older than me....

    He hasn't slacked up on his efforts to prove himself to me, to win me over.... however you want to put it...

    I already can't imagine not having him in my life.

    Yeah...... life's good
    Life's very good!

  • So, I met someone...

    We met online, on another site.  A site I had joined to watch over my Mom on lol....  Where I was mostly just hiding out.  About six months ago we exchanged a few messages.  I admit I was interested, heck he's the only person I've seen anywhere that I thought I might be interested enough in to go on a scary thing called a 'date' lol.

    I also tried to scare him off at first

    and a second time as well.....

    but the third time I thought I might be ready....  He's about an hour away and our first date was in a town 1/2 way between here and there at Red Lobster

    with a chaperone lol, my youngest son




    here's a better picture of him



    there was all that immediate chemical emotional stuff you never think will happen to you LOL and....

    so we've had 3 dates in the last two weeks and I've never laughed so much, and I've never met such a smart clever man who was willing and able to work so hard to win someone's trust and regard

  • Herbal shopping online again and other randomness

    herbs.jpg

    I made it to a Books A Million last week and had a fantastic dark chocolate espresso and found me a copy of an old favorite magazine 'The Herb Companion'

    Just so happens I had my second order of the year from the San Francisco Herb Company on the way and it was delivered today :D

    I have to go to walmart later to pick up some medicine so I thought I'd also look for epsom salts and get some more baking soda.  I got some sea salt last week.... and I'm gonna use those things and my collection of essential oils to make some bath salts to indulge myself in.  I also got some new 1 oz jars this time and some dropper caps so I can experiment with blending oils again.  I also found some sprayer mist caps for the bottles which means I can make some room and body sprays!

    I stocked up on my favorite jasmine green tea again as well as getting some Earl Grey tea that is positively delicious.  I have a cup right now.

    Other culinary treats in this order:  cocoa powder, peppercorn mix, the ultra grade lavender which can be used in cooking.... baking, teas, etc....  a new mesh teaspoon

    and one more essential oil for the aromatherapy cabinet:  cedarwood

    For my buddies on Xanga I've been trying to keep up with reading the subscription digest and I miss you guys.  Am sorry I haven't had the energy to find more time to spend online, am still anemic and still taking those iron pills I swear I am.

    I can't believe summer is almost over, they start back to school here on Aug. 7th.  We've enjoyed the summer activities we've been able to participate in and the time has passed in a lovely summer blur.

    For my other blogs I hope those of you that visit the herbal hangout

    and

    islefaye's kitchen

    will continue to stop by and check me out every now and then.  I do promise to have some new posts between now and Christmas.  I'm thinking I'll try to make a few herbal goody baskets for Christmas presents.  Would love to get more comments over there too if you find something helpful or something you like,  or just wanna say Hi lol.

    Oh yes last but not least I'm so looking forward to becoming a Grandmother in December :D!  We found out last week...... it's a girl!!!

    Also my oldest son, the Marine, who is going to be the new father :D, is still awaiting his deployment which should be soon and will likely mean he won't be back in time for the birth, but should be returning soon after.

    Hope everyone is enjoying what's left of summer before it's gone!

    so we took a short walk and came away with these lovely gifts




    in the blue-lidded plastic container is some delicious cream of zucchini soup... really... seriously.... delicious
    also some thyme and along with the regular lavender.... she had some lovely white lavender which I had never seen
