Helpful Hints and Recipes: Yard work

Yard work

I don't do yard work yet because I am waiting for the snakes to go into hibernation. Sounds silly, but, I can't help it. After the last snake was found in our yard I swore off of yard work. I used to love going out to garden, but, can't force myself to do it now that I know they are out there lurking. A few years ago our German Shephard was bitten by a large poisonous snake in the upper part of our yard. I never went up there again. The last seen was a little one by where my flowers were. Well, as far as I am concerned they don't have to worry about me out there. I always hate to hear in Spring when Chris says "Well, the snakes are on the move." Yuck, I would love to turn our whole 1 acre into a cement yard. Bill would never let that happen. Plus I think our Homeowner's Association would have something to say about it. Just my little two cents.

ABOUT US

Chris and I became friends over 20 years ago when we were neighbors in the Philippines. We were living there with our families because of our husbands' jobs with Westinghouse. In fact, we were next door neighbors on the compound that we lived in. After returning Stateside, we were lucky enough to have Westinghouse assign our husbands to the same work site. Our husbands are good friends, also. We enjoy each other and feel fortunate to be blessed with such good, loving friends in our lives.

We cannot take credit for the helpful hints, tips or recipes that we put in. These are an accumulation of ones that we have collected over the years and still collect. We won't mind if someone needs a hint or recipe that we haven't posted yet and they want us to try to find it for them. In fact, we would like the challenge!

Chris and I have always loved to collect cookbooks, recipes and hints. You would not believe the number of books and newspaper and magazine clippings that we have. Plus, Dennis, Chris's husband, loves to cook and has some to add to the mix. I know there are those of you out there that have the same sort of collection. I was getting ready to get rid of some unneeded things I have around here and get ready for my huge annual Thanksgiving event. I thought I would share this with "the world" and Chris feels the same way. (Her and I are so much alike, it's scarey sometimes. To our husbands, that is!) Plus both of us are Taurus! Chris might even have some decorating tips for you because she is great at that. That is something that just doesn't come to me and I turn to her.

If you would like to comment on any of our postings, please do. We would love to know who is reading them and if they may in some way be of help. Or just entertaining to someone. We would love to know what you think of our little project.
