How to use your IRS rebate check!

I read this and thought I had to share .. . . enjoy!

"The Administration said each of us would get a rebate check to stimulate the economy: If we spend the money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China. If we spend it on gasoline, it will go to the Arabs, if we purchase a computer it will go to India, if we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala, if we purchase a good car it will go to Japan, if we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan and non of it will help the American economy.

We need to keep that money here in America. The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it at yard sales, since those are the only businesses still in the U.S."

Ocatillo

The landscaping and the plants are so different down here, but I am finding new ones that I love. This is my latest purchase of a new Ocatillo Tree(considered an exotic desert plant- zoom in and notice the GREEN transportation label from the AZ department of Agriculture) The tag makes it legal, not stolen from the desert. I even kept my Home Depot reciept just in case someone might think otherwise! It is in the cactus family, and next spring will have beautiful blossoms on it. Thanks sweetheart for getting me this and planting it for me. Your the BEST. The front yard is finished on this side! Hurray!!

Too Many??? Not Enough????





Well, personally I think there is NEVER TOO many pots with flowers in them! I have been having SOO much fun this year in my yard. I have no job and I am not pregnant this summer. I have lots of time to water and enjoy every minute of it. We hung a swing on the back patio, (pictures to come) so Jack can have fun watching mommy water. He sits in the stroller in the front yard and watches some more. Got to LOVE this WARM weather, I might not in another month when I have to water TWICE a day!! THIRTEEN pots to be exact.... too many???

I love my mommy....

Jeff takes every opportunity to take picture of me! LOVE YOU JACK..... So grateful for you in our lives!

Trip to Miami.....


Jeff had to go on a service call to check a recall on a tractor, so Jack and I went with him. We stoppped in MIAMI, AZ to take a ]picture with the big dump truck. Molly believed we were in Miami, FL. Love you Molly!!
