Friday Freebies


The peas are growing like crazy. I think this year is my best year ever for them. They have been loving all of the rain. I wish the rest of the garden liked it as much.


I have been shucking them while I watch TV at night with Hubby. We have been using them in lots of meals. 


My basil and parsley are doing great too. I have be running the dehydrator a lot lately. Building up my supply to get me through the winter. I have givin several bags of kale away to friends as well as freeze more for us. 


I earned a $5 CVS gift card from Lucky Day. 


I got a coupon for free dog food in the mail. 


I garbage picked a roll of wrapping paper. I don't remember the last time I bought wrapping paper. Why do people throw away full rolls? 


My Dad gave me a baby aloe plant when he came for the graduation. His big aloe plant keeps having babies. 


YD went to a graduation party and the mom sent cookies home for us.


Hubby's aunt and uncle are visiting from Italy. They brought us some presents.


My son as always brought home leftovers from work. 

Several people brought items to the graduation and party for all of us to eat. It really made my life easier. My girlfriend did YD's hair for prom and wouldn't take money for it. We are very blessed to have such generous people in our lives. 

Did you get any freebies this week?

    You got a lot of nice things. I got nothing except for a free cookie at Publix. But, it filled my need for a sweet and I got nothing else sweet.

    I never can figure out why people throw good things away. Why not donate or find someone to give it to?

I hope everyone is healthy and doing alright with our new normal. When the weather permits I have been out side working on the gardens. My kale never died the winter because it was so mild. It recently started growing again.  I was able to pick a nice bunch this morning. I will be incorporating it into our meals this week. YD loves smoothies and always tosses some kale in. The gardening season has finally begin! Have you harvested anything from your garden yet this year?

Oreo Got Hurt

Image
She is OK and that is the most important thing. We are not sure exactly what she did to herself but she started limping Monday night. I checked her paw to make sure there was nothing in it. Hubby and I decided to block the stairs and have her sleep on the first floor. She usually sleeps in our room. Hubby brought down her bed to the living room. In the middle of the night she did a loud yelp. You have to step on her for her to yelp so it was very strange. Hubby and I flew down the stairs to check on her. She was in pain and didn't want to put her foot down. We got her to lay down and I got ice on her leg. I wasn't sure if it was her paw, leg or shoulder. She finally went back to sleep and I did too.  YD is the first to get up and I heard her walking around. 2 minutes later Oreo let out another huge yelp. I ran down the stairs and she was in the kitchen. She had an accident on the floor and wanted to go outside. We have one little step out the back door and she had no prob...
