Rosea Jelly
A few years ago, a widowed neighbor, who is a dear friend of mine, gave me some jelly. It was so good & I had never had any like it before. I asked her what kind it was & she said...rosea. I had never heard of rosea before! She told me she had some bushes planted. I told her to call me when she got ready to make some more, because I wanted some & I wanted to see what rosea looked like! She called last week & told me the rosea bushes were ready. I went one afternoon, but the blooms were closed up. I snapped a few pictures of the rosea & went back the next morning to catch the blooms open. She told me that you actually pick the fruit, peel the purple part off, boil those & the inside green part...you can let dry & plant it. Pretty neat. I bought the sugar & some more jars so she could put me some off. We kind of trade off some produce & such.
Thank-you Ms. Wilma
Fall Produce off and running.
Yes, the madness has officially began on the farm. The first 2 days have been typical with the window unit going out in the office on Sunday and then on Tuesday the rear-end in the truck went out on Bill as he was on his way to Thomasville to pick up some stickers that we have to put on all of the produce !! Had to call a wrecker to pick them up and bring them home!
Kylie & I cooked lunch for Winston, Cole & Bill today. We made taco salad. She got out some of my Tupperware, placed it on the counter and insisted that we take her "empty" containers also!
New Window Unit for the Office
Winston & I went off for the weekend again, arrived home early Sunday so we could get back to Central in time for class. Sunday night, Winston was trying to catch up on his watering....it was hot in his office so I just cranked down the window unit. Well about 2 hours later it was not working at all. Yes, I tore it up!!! Well, I got up bright & early Monday, took the old one back & they replaced it since it was still under warranty! I also ran a few more errands for Winston. It was pretty warm Monday & they got unit installed pretty quickly!!! I know he was thankful!
Bunny goes to Sunday School, as usual
I dropped Kylie off at Sunday school & went on to my class. Jerry & Laura McMullen are teaching this class. When I picked her up this is what she and her little bunny had….a paper for her & bunny.
Too Cute To Pass Up!
These were to cute to pass up, Kylie noticed the cupcake cookie jar immediately!
Night at Ponte Vedre
So pretty at night. Oh yes, they came in at night.....turned down your bedding...placed the robes, slippers, menus, etc. at the end of the bed and left chocolates on the night stand.....cleaned twice a day if you wanted....24 hour room service....man, it was the best! They also had doorbells, when I first heard the doorbell I thought it was on the tv! Thank-you to my hubby for such a fun week-end and to Bart & Casey for sharing this place with us!
Ponte Vedre Resort
This is one of the nicest places I have ever stayed. We had so much fun, we went back the next weekend! We met some of the nicest people, everyone was so friendly. Almost like Valdosta!
The fountain was huge and so pretty! The grounds were kept immaculate. Winston could walk right out back of the Inn & golf. He golfed with New Yorkers, lawyers & Doctors....young locals etc. They were all nice folks and had lots of questions about his farming operation! I decided I would just do some shopping. On Friday, we stopped by the Avenues Mall on the way there. They have a huge Belks......I was amazed & a little bit irritated that ours is so small! We found some great bargains for Cole & Winston. I found the Vera Bradley store & had a blast in there.
Didn't stay to long on Friday, but Saturday.....while WB golfed, I shopped....10-5! We had great food at most of our meals. We shared many laughs & got to enjoy each other before the fall produce kicks in on Monday.
Wedding Day
Oh Boy, it is finally over!!! I must say... I did enjoy most of the preparation for the wedding. As difficult as planning a wedding is.....all in all .....it was a great time. Bart & Casey thought they would get married next April. That was the plan to begin with, but Bart decided he just could not wait to begin this new life with Casey & Kylie. He asked if they had to wait until next April, I thought, well... no you don't....all you need is the photographer, minister and location! It happened to work out for the 5th of September. Heirs Lodge was the location. I am still running on adrenaline! Let's just say that the fireworks were hot at the wedding, so hot we even had a fire!!! More details later!!! So funny & only would happen to us!
