These are the ones we visit. A little on edge as to what will happen if Scotland votes for independence. Will he be allowed to stay, will he have to get a visa to live in England? Who knows, we live in interesting times.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-40563862540366188732017-04-11T17:11:21.303-03:002017-04-11T17:11:21.303-03:00Rain - you truly get it! it is a tribute to a woma...Rain - you truly get it! it is a tribute to a woman that i never met, and a woman that i did, and both of them were integral to our story of why and how we came here to do what we are doing. <br /><br />it's taken me years to figure out how to handle the organization of the seeds - i tried everyone-and-their-dawgs method of how to properly catalogue and organize seeds. just watch what your favourite blogging gardeners are doing and then try some of this, some of that until you figure out what works for you. we both have some very experienced gardeners in our blog lists - if anyone knows what works - it's them! and then we just tweak their ideas to make it work for us!kymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-73042712032009253632017-04-11T17:07:44.770-03:002017-04-11T17:07:44.770-03:00thank you so much Leigh! i love baskets and boxes ...thank you so much Leigh! i love baskets and boxes too! i guess we're cut from the same cloth! sister from another mother or something!kymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-53661323054708472452017-04-11T17:06:58.726-03:002017-04-11T17:06:58.726-03:00hobo - you are sooo welcome! i am just glad that i...hobo - you are sooo welcome! i am just glad that i have finally put Winnie's recipe box to good use!kymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-46321088035447556572017-04-11T17:06:27.996-03:002017-04-11T17:06:27.996-03:00thanks TB. i hope that Winnie is happy with how i ...thanks TB. i hope that Winnie is happy with how i am using her recipe box!kymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-15573961179945624802017-04-11T17:06:01.411-03:002017-04-11T17:06:01.411-03:00and your stopping in to comment is why i love you ...and your stopping in to comment is why i love you Spicy! i know how busy you are - what do you have now? 14 grnadchildren? bahahahahah! jeesh lady - get those kids of yours to slow down!<br /><br />i know how much you and Bill love having all of those babies around. i am very happy for my bestie! xoxoxkymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-86750451479227972732017-04-11T17:04:27.823-03:002017-04-11T17:04:27.823-03:00me, too Dallas. i am loving it!me, too Dallas. i am loving it!kymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-40455307189625172332017-04-11T17:04:12.214-03:002017-04-11T17:04:12.214-03:00i know Kelly. i just really wish that i could tell...i know Kelly. i just really wish that i could tell Winnie and Anna how i am using Winnie's recipe box.kymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-28914688560717715582017-04-11T17:03:07.330-03:002017-04-11T17:03:07.330-03:00Sol - i wish i could have met Winnie!

I like your organizing ideas too. I just started the seedlings, but already I'm trying to figure out how to organize everything so I don't get overwhelmed.

Where in O...Winnie sounds like she was fabulous. <br /><br />Where in Ottawa? we have family all over Ottawa, Bells Corner, Nepean, Orleans, Stitsville and back in the early 2000's we nearly bought a new build house in Kanata. <br /><br />I remember the first time I met Posh Boys Canadian family. It was like coming home. And all of the homes in the neighbourhood looked like they were the film set from the TV series The Wonder Years. It made a great impression on my 18 year old mind. LOL His Uncles took us to a casino in Gatineau. I thought I was ALL THAT. We got dressed up. Then when we met them there, everyone was in a leisure track suit! Bwah ha ha.
