Today was my husbands Birthday and we have had a marvelous day with the family.

Church first thing, (I told the Minister that it was Jimmy's Birthday) and he made a big deal of it.

Then home for the  Sunday Dinner that I had prepared before going to church.

Menu:

Roasted Pork Ribs

Beef Roast

Corn

Peas

Butterbeans

Rice

Buttered Potatoes

Gravy

EggPlant and Onions

Sweet Tea

and of course Birthday Cake that had blue icing..(turned our tongues and teeth blue)

Just a very wonderful Family day with 12 folks at the table.

Then tonight, canning the tomatoes. (In a thunder and lightning storm)   We did put up 11 Quarts.  They will be used in Spagetti Sauce and Soups through the Winter.

Hope you had a great day also.

Timing is everything.  I understand it better now.  I took this listing 6 month ago...and they have now relisted with another broker for less.

Timing is everything. I have a client, whose former business was advertising. Just the other day, he said, Ginger you must get the word out. It is the time to BUY. Interest rates are at an all time low, and prices of real estate are unbelievable.

He is right. So in my next ad, I put the words on the AD and I am receiving calls ...from, buyers, seller and other agents.

Maybe there is something to telling the world...that it is time to buy!

Winter is here.  Temperatures have been in the 50 to 60's along the coast.  On New Years Day...some of our family did the POLAR DIP in cold water.  Although the air temperature was in the mid 60's....the water temperature was in the high 30's.

I do know that the fishing is good.  WE have Drum, Flounder, Trout in the creek and they sure do taste mighty good when fresh caught and prepared for the frying pan.  Fix a bit of cole slaw and cut your own french fries and fry...a few hushpuppies and you have a meal fit for a King or Queen.  Lemon pie for dessert.

The time is here...come South for the joy of it.

This is too good not to share.  At this time of year, many of us are running around trying to get the things done that we feel need to be done. Guess what.  Many of those things that we try to get done, really are not that important.  We need to reflect on our lives and the lives of those around us.  Life is short and precious. 

We need to be greatful for the abundance of grace that has been given to us.

WE have had a glorious Day today. 

After church,  all of the family and a few friends came  to share Dinner with us.

I had cooked a roast, had corn, butterbeans, steamed broccoli, homemade mashed potatoes, home grown sweet potatoes, scratch biscuits, and a new cobbler that I  created with Bananas and of course sweet  tea.

We had such a grat afternoon just visit and planning our spring garden.

Hope your day was Great too.

Hope that you spent a wonderful day with you family also.

Take care,
