Helpful Hints and Recipes: Garden Tools

Garden Tools

WD-40, keeps all your garden tools rust free. We have tools from over 25 years ago because of taking care of them. I know that handles on the shovels and rakes go first for our household. We have 5 acres to keep cut, raked and weeded. After Dennis retired 3 years ago, he was in charge of the yard and vegetable garden, I did the flowers. Dennis went on a consulting job, so I will be back on the lawn mower for a couple of months. I did it for 15 plus years, so it will be like riding a bike. The bad thing is I am a lot of years older. Today I did a lot of errants. I try to do them all in one trip. It really helps on the gas being used in my Jeep. Have a good night!

If you take care of good quality tools they can last a life time and prove that you do get what you pay for in the long term.

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.
