Something New!

I tried something new today! I read a friends blog and she told about a food co-op in our area. So I ordered and today was the pick-up. She had invited me to go volunteer at the pick-up site today so I went. It was myself and 2 other ladies that went together. What an experience, there where quit a few people there to volunteer. Total time of volunteer and getting our order was one hour. Here's what I got for $15.00
12 Bananas
6 Apples
1 Bag Seedless Grapes
1 Cantaloupe
6 Mango's
3 Stalks of Broccoli
1 Stalk of Red Swiss Chard
6 Green Onions
1 Head of Romaine Lettuce
2 Squashes
2 Artichokes
5 Carrots
14 Red Potatoes
2 Cucumbers
1 Bunch of Radishes
Everything was very fresh and great quality. You can also order cheese, bread, granola, oils & honey. Something to try and you can save some money at the same time. I love it.

Time for ME!

I just got back Sunday morning from a trip to upstate NY to visit my sister and her family. I love spending time there. The houses are so full of history. I look at them and can't help but think of all the things that might have happened in them. Completely different than our Styrofoam, chicken wire & stucco homes here. My sister has a wonderful family and a great life. They have one daughter and just found out that the one on the way is a girl!! We love girls. ( that's all we know, being the oldest of 3 girls, mother of 2 girls, and aunt of 2 1/2 nieces and one lonely nephew) My family has gotten older. I was gone for 5 days and 6 nights and they survived. Basketball games, piano lesson, mutual, school & pack meeting all got done. I am very proud of them but also a little sad that they aren't little anymore. It's all part of life.
