Garden Revisited

         In May, I wrote about our hopes to have a garden that actually produces more than frustration.
So after Bill's hard work at tilling the garden plot.  I jumped in the van and did the easy work of buying the plants.

Then he did the hard work again and got all these into the ground along with some sweet corn.

God watered the garden for us yesterday and as you can see from the standing water He did a great job of it.  I, however, didn't want to slop out in the mud so I took this picture of our little garden plot from the deck.  Don't pay any attention to the acres of corn planted behind it.  That belongs to the farmers next door!!

And here are the first fruits(or veggies, LOL) from the garden.  Not enough for a good pot of beans yet but hopefully in the next day or so more will be ready and we can have some fresh from the garden beans.  Nothing else is ready to be harvested but it looks like we may actually have a producing garden for the first time in our gardening experience. 

Thanks for stopping by!!

Myrtle Beach Revisited

Since Monday is usually laundry day here I thought while that was going on I would update all my readers (all 2 of you!! LOL) on what's been happening this past month.  June has been busy and I have some wonderful news to share but that will have to wait for another day!!  (It deserves it's own post!)

As you can see by the last post, I spent a week at Myrtle Beach with precious friends from our time living in Illinois.  I had a great time just chilling at the beach and by the pool reading, reading and reading some more.  And then there was the food!!!  Oh, my!!!!  We, of course, had seafood at both Joe's Crab Shack and Landrys.



This picture is blackened tilapia topped with etoufee, fried shrimp and barbeque shrimp I ordered at Joe's Crab Shack.  Oh, my my my my, was it ever good!!  But I have to say that my favorite restaurant was Myabi, a Japanese steak house.  It is not just gooooood food(and lots of it), it is also quite a show.

This is the volcano he made out of onion rings.  It was a really fun evening spent with special friends.















Thanks for stopping by!!
