It's been awhile....

School is out, and now it's time to relax, and do things that I wanna do.
Husband and I have planted 20 tomato plants in the big flower bed. I guess you could say it's an EX flower bed now. Hopefully we will have lots of tomatoes. I noticed yesterday that a roma plant already has blooms. They are usually the first of the plants to bear fruit.
Planted my pepper plants yesterday. After the heavy rain we had last night, I hope they did okay. They were still fairly small plants....had 16 of those.
Had a family reunion on my dad's side over Memorial Day weekend. We had been saving for a few months so we could go. It was very enjoyable, except for the fact that I can't sleep anywhere but my own bed at home. Lots of family I hadn't seen in many years. The raffle was great too. I brought almost all of my dishcloths that I had made over the past year. I put them in bundles of two. Everyone got my dishcloths! Guess what I will be making for next year!!! DISHCLOTHS! And if I can get this log cabin blanket finished for my younger son and his wife, I may make another one to put in the reunion raffle....or at least something similar....a blanket of some kind. The raffle money goes into the next year's reunion for food/supplies and the renting of the building. Lots of singing and guitar picking happened. Lots of hugs and lots of stories to tell. One aunt couldn't make it...but then, she lived the farthest away. Husband and kid enjoyed the short vacation as well. I definitely ate too much and stuff that I shouldn't have ate at all! But we hadn't been on vacation in many years. It was time for one. And I'm glad we went. We saved up some of the money by my emptying the change out of my purse and hanging onto it. Any change was put into a container. This year I am starting earlier on saving up, so we will have more moola for next year's reunion. If things get harder to where we can't go, I will just continue to save the change until we can! I have found that the relatives love ANYthing homemade. So I may have to make some strawberry jam, pickles and salsa to take with us the next year that we go to the reunion...along with my dishcloths and blanket. I'm already excited for the next year! WOOHOO! My dad's family made us feel so welcome...all are a bunch of hillbillies and will give the shirts off their backs if they knew someone needed them.
On another note...hubby is working only three days a week this month. And the last week all employees are on a forced vacation...whether they have any paid vacation time or not. Also, a machine broke down yesterday, so hubby is off work today. So this week he has only worked two days. He took a vacation day today, so he will get paid for it. Thank goodness!
It will probably be another month or so before I know whether I will have my contract renewed or not. I am hoping I do have it renewed. If not, I may have another job in the wings. Only thing is, the other job would be through the whole year. Not just 9 months with most of the summer off. Well, we all have to do what we gotta do. And my daughter is getting older now. Two more years of high school. Doesn't seem possible that my baby girl is growing up so fast!
The weather here has cooled down considerably. The house was so hot and humid, even with the attic fan going. Hubby and I stayed outside pretty much, until it started to rain. The wind came up and the temperature dropped fast. It did feel good, that's for sure. It only got up into the lower 80s yesterday, but the humidity made it very unbearable. It's still cook this morning....61 degrees and windy. I can handle that. Only to be up around 70 today. Fine with me!
