Sorry for being away sooooo long!







Greetings to all!
Sorry about the long absence! Life sometimes gets in ones way!
Well, first and foremost I'll  just say 'Happy Mothers Day!' "Happy Spring" and Hello flowers and gardens!
I just LOVE when all the world is in bloom!

So here's the latest news in a nutshell.......

Bill and I got married last weekend! Yep, he made an honest woman out of me! LOL!!!!!

Our fish population has EXPLODED!!!! We have about 350 NEW babies, and the babies from the last batch are now the size of the first ones that we purchased back last what...October???? The oldest ones are huge! And very prolific!!!!! ANYONE interested is Aquaponics?????? I know where you can get some fish!!!! LOL!

"Simply" dehydrated meal line has been doing really well....We also have several NEW items!!! Soups, breakfast cereals and a awesome new fruit salad!! Also working on putting together 30~60 and 90 day meal buckets! They will have a variety of entrees, salads, side dishes, soups, breakfasts and more! At a very good price! So, if you haven't gone to our web site go check it out!!! We also have MIX~INS, That's the greatest dip mixes ever!!!!!!simply surviving today

Met a really nice gentleman who builds the greatest greenhouse kits!!!! Yep, made here in Escondido! Very easy to assemble and light!!! I will get more info up soon on this product!

Planning to plant my garden soon, should have all been put in by now but well, hey..been busy.....!  We do have the most incredible volunteer tomato plant!!! Its HUGE and its loaded with yellow pear shaped heirloom tomatoes!!!!!

Bill and I are going to have to sit down and design our garden space and hydroponic space! better get it done soon or might as well forget it!

Been saving rain water this spring, which is really something since it rarely rains here!!!! LOL! We are using it for our plants and for the big tank for the talapia.....

Im getting excited that i'll be able to get some canning done soon! We seemed to eat all the jam and pickles i had made this past year....Need to make more to save for the pantry!!!

Just a side note...IF you are dehydrating or canning , check your local grocers and ask if they would be willing to sell the "Less desirable" looking produce for CHEAP! Most smaller stores are much more willing to do this! You can get some great veggies and fruit for next to nothing and can be processed for your food storage! Check also with your farmers markets and veggie stands! It will be worth your while!!!!! And sometimes they will even give it to you free!
Check your neighborhood for fruit trees, most people dont have the desire or the time to pick it and it just goes to waste, Offer to pick it for them and split the fruit! Hey! You never know right?!

I will be working with hard wheat the next few weeks and will be developing some new recipes! So Ill be sure to post those for all to try!!!!

Well I could just keep rattling on and on but I guess I should get dinner done and on the table!

Peace and Blessings!
Nice to be back! LOL!
