Ridin out the Recession

Good morning and welcome back to Ridin Out the Recession. We hope all are well, and wherever you’re at if spring hasn’t sprung for you yet, we hope it’s just right around the corner for you! It was 94 degrees here today.

Soda Apple: Today if you guys don’t mind, I’d like to talk about the soda apple. In regards to ranchers, and citrus growers, here in the State of Florida, but mainly the cattle ranchers, we have a problem with this plant, and have had for many, many years now.

These plants I remember distinctly while working on the ranch. They’ve been in Florida about 20 years now, and were first discovered in Florida in Glades County. If you’re involved in the cattle industry here in Florida, you know the soda apple, or have known the soda apple first hand.

I would like to welcome you all back to Miz Judi’s Kitchen . I hope this finds everyone happy and healthy

I do hope everyone is doing good today! As for me I am doing fine. I was hoping to get my pet scan report back today but I guess it will be tomorrow, and possibly even Thursday. I’m a little nervous, but I am feeling pretty good about it.

This is mainly because I know that with all the prayers everyone has been sending up for me and my family, that it will be just fine.

Good morning to all, and we hope everyone had a joyous Easter yesterday! We certainly did, but it was just Deb and I.

Red is in Jacksonville, finishing up a job, but Stacey his wife, and little Shelby Lynn went to see him and stay a night or two. The other kids all went to church, and then headed in different directions.

Josh, Shelley (Mae), and their three boys I believe went back to their home, and hung out getting ready for work come Monday. Michelle and Kara and their kids went to my Mom and Dad’s. They had a cookout and I’m sure all went on an Easter egg hunt!

A Tale or Two on Deb

Deb and I were going, but her food intake was severely cut back due to her test today. So, I told Mom, we’d wait this time, until ole Deb can sop her a biscuit in something along with all the rest of us!

I would like to welcome you all back to Miz Judi’s Kitchen. I hope this finds everyone happy and healthy!

I would like to wish everyone a very happy late Easter, and hope you all had a great time with family and friends.

As for Dub and I, we just stayed home because I am having a pet scan run on Monday, and I can’t eat too much of anything. So I came up with the idea that if I couldn’t eat, I’d put Dub on a diet also.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. I usually say guys, but this morning I thought I’d let you know that by my saying guys…I still mean members of both sex. I can say that, right?

Anyway, we’re glad you GUYS stopped back in to see us this morning in Ridin’ Out the Recession! Thanks for coming!

Weekend in the Garden

Well, the week is gone again and Saturday is here for sure. Dale’s coming in this morning, and we’ll be doing a little work in the garden today.

We’ve got tomatoes to tie once more, trim up the eggplants, and cabbage, and got some dern ole weeds sticking their heads up again. By Sunday, they’ll be gone. I’ve got a scuffle hoe I’m going to put to good use in the raised bed garden.

You know, Deb and I are doing this column Ridin’ Out the Recession, and I have to say that it has been a blessing to us both.

I can’t thank Judi and Brian, and the CFP enough for this opportunity! It was one of the better life decisions Deb and I have made. It provides us both with something that we can do and hopefully grow with as a team.

We’ve been a husband and wife, Mother and Father team, for a number of years now, but never involved in anything such as this.
