I find I 'accidentally' stumble across some blogs and after adding them to my sidebar, week by week, month by month I find I have 'met' like minded souls from all over the world. So it's always nice to have some 'found' for me. <br /><br />Have a lovely weekend, your plans for sewing, reading and knitting sound good. I'm entering my first ever Flower Show with lots of the veggies I have grown, so I have my fingers crossed that the polytunnel will do me proud.

We can now take our time, sit back and enjoy what we have here. I hope you can do that too soon. xxrhonda jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962112306968959985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-20290769537062856012015-08-07T15:28:13.764+10:002015-08-07T15:28:13.764+10:00An outdoor area to sit sounds wonderful, there is ...An outdoor area to sit sounds wonderful, there is always so much work to do in our garden we sort of miss out on the sitting part!<br />Have a great weekend :)Kelly Casanovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089138869326091823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-52291998866753196342015-08-07T11:00:23.318+10:002015-08-07T11:00:23.318+10:00Dear Angel.

You can't live in a relationship with someone who says they hate you and want a divorce. Give it to him, change all the locks and get help if he harasses you. Go to a lawyer and a women's shelter and ask for advice - you need to know what to do first, like bank accounts, joint ownership etc. If he threatens you in any way, report it to the police. And then get out of there as soon as possible.rhonda jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962112306968959985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-87805846641384910212015-08-07T09:22:25.736+10:002015-08-07T09:22:25.736+10:00Dear Rhonda and Hanno
Love your blog, honesty, fa...Dear Rhonda and Hanno<br /><br />Love your blog, honesty, family and the love you all have for each other. I have been married for going on 17 years. I worked, had my own home and business, gave it up to get married. Moved to CA, became a stay at home Mom, helped him with his debt ( 40,000), put money down on house car, and moved again due to his health. Nursed him through things, moved to another state, put stock money from childhood down on another house, kept us from losing our home to foreclosure when he got sick, helped him send resumes out ( in fact did his resumes to get him a new job), and then finally made sure we were debt free. No car loans, and small home loan and bought a new home ( needs work with the last of my childhood stock money) to be completely debt free. Cook from scratch, bake from scratch, make my own cleaners, laundry soap, soap, herbals, home school and would have to fix our current home up to sell, and fix new then be near his new work, be debt free and have 20 more years maybe to save for retirement. THEN..... he has an either affair online, or life, yells, screams at me, ( seems to be bipolar) wants divorce, won't help me fix up, current house, or new house ( he is living in near his work) comes he every weekend to yell, tells me he hates me ( while bringing milk) wrecked my car, and his numerous times, luckily had insurance to get him new for work ( new used car). Now have to fix mine, get homes fixed and move. I don't work as I worked here to be debt free, save money, cook, bake, clean, take care of the kids, etc. I have been devastated and will be fine, trust in God, will move on and make a great future for myself and kids. I garden, and go to produce auctions, can and just try to save and love life. I am telling you, as I wish my family had the love yours does. I do love my kids and will make this work.<br /><br />I love your blog and watch for new posts all the time. I haven't commented until now, as well. just dealing with life. If you have any advice would appreciate.<br /><br />Blessings to you and yours,<br /><br />AngelAngelGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17576387933364314103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-22245351177934795792015-08-07T09:21:51.395+10:002015-08-07T09:21:51.395+10:00Thank you so much dear Rhonda for the weekend read...Thank you so much dear Rhonda for the weekend reading..

I wanted to say that I really enjoyed the conversations flowing yesterday between your guest posters and the rest of us, it adds another dimension to the comments when we talk amongst ourselves like that, makes people "real". Looking forward to seeing your new garden space, enjoy your weekend......oh and watch for the postie, he should have a package for you today :)Nanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473143331781472223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-45477348420813270432015-08-07T05:47:51.856+10:002015-08-07T05:47:51.856+10:00Hello Rhonda,

My husband and I are fortunate to be current participants in a permaculture course right here in the Caribbean. We discovered the farm where it is taught on our island and met the teachers about 4 years ago but time never seemed to allow us a chance to take part. Until now! Such a difference to meet like-minded people of all ages and get hands-on practical experience pertinent to our country and climate. Many discussions about the simple life and many instances where I found myself talking about you.<br />Have a great weekend,<br />Vicki<br />Trinidad & Tobagovickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13429561993481109477noreply@blogger.com
