CSA

  

Do you have a local CSA?  I think its wonderful using Local Resources and support local growers.  Hopkins Farms is about an hour north of us in Georgia and they deliver to a drop off point here in Tallahassee.  Sonsearae and I split a half bushel for $35.   We can order weekly on Monday for Thursday delivery.  This is today's haul!  As they state on their website not all of it is grown there

Bananas, peaches, yellow squash, bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, corn on the cob, onions, red potatoes and a small cabbage (thank goodness! previous boxes have included huge cabbage)..Potato salad! I'll probably eat one of the cucumbers tonight, Cole slaw for the 4th!

The pickup window is 1100-1200 so I woke Jim at 1000 so we could get on the road.  We were on time but we had to wait longer than normal.  It was so funny to see around 20 cars all lined up for their produce

I forget to mention what I'm reading.  Currently I'm reading books by Eddie Dray.  Jim and I met him and his wife Marilyn while we were full timers. He has written about the full time experience and it's a joy to be reminded of the people, places and times we spent together.

No one displays an email on the mantel
or
Shows off a tweet on the refrigerator
or
Saves a Facebook Post in a box of treasures 

Isn't this card lovely?  It's from Tricia and she's an online friend

Tuesday was a busy day for us.  Jim had two appointments, the first at 1100 which meant we had to leave at 1000 because the parking garage at TMH is always full.  We had to drive around for about 15 minutes, then we had to traverse one building then another to get to his appointment on time.  We made it with 15 minutes to spare!  He was called in early also.  This was another neurology test, EMG/NCV.  Acupuncture needles and electric pads were used to determine if his nerves were active, etc.  Good news he doesn't require any medicine for this. Just PT and supplements.

Sonsearae had asked if I wanted to go shopping with her, so we invited her to a quick lunch at BJ's.  Jim's next appointment was at the VA for PT so he departed and then she and I headed to Michaels so she could get a couple prints framed.  We wandered around the store but didn't find anything we couldn't live without.  Then we stopped at Lucky Goat for some iced coffee

When we arrived at home Jim was happily ensconced in his chair watching a movie.  The rest of our day was sitting, playing games or watching  you tube

I've been having hot tea before bed to see if it will help me go to sleep quicker.  Seemed to help last night, of course I didn't nap either 

Today, Wednesday was pretty much a couch potato day for us.  Jim did wander down to mail the car payment.  We both had a wee nap.
