#26 Chocolate

We might love chocolate, but that's no reason to give it to your pets! Chocolate products contain substances called methylxanthines that can cause vomiting in small doses, and even death if ingested in larger quantities.

Banana Coconut Cream Pie!

Banana-Coconut-Cream-Pie

New Bamboo Everywhere!

I went out again this morning to tie back some of the bamboo and now there are new shoots all
over the place. So excited it is doing so great. That fertilizer is working great.

New shoots all up and down the roll, they are everywhere. 

This is one half of it. It has gotten so thick and dark green. Its so pretty when the wind blows.  I just love it.

This Weeks To Do List!

Last week was a light week. I did get everything off the list finished. This week a little heavier, but only 4 days. Don is taking Friday off so I am not doing housework that day. I am sure we will find something to do.

This Weeks To Do List!

Last week was a super catch up week. Got so much finished and caught up. It was really hard to stay on track, as I had so much planned for each day.

 I finished everything on my list, which was awesome!

So this week, with only 4 days left, my schedule 

Day 4 Memorial Day!

First thing we did was get the bamboo by the side fence planted. We were just so tired last night.

Then I made breakfast while Don got in the pool.

He actually ate his breakfast in

Day 3 Memorial Weekend!

We went out early and cut the bamboo up. Don used his saw on it. That was a 

much bigger job than we thought it would be, 

Day 2 of Memorial Weekend!

We had company coming over, so I got the upstairs all cleaned up. That was actually on 

Day 1 of 4 Memorial Weekend!

Don had a 4 day weekend so we decided to just stay home and get some stuff done that we had been wanting to do.

We went to find 2 more graceful bamboo for the middle that I had left open thinking I was

Pissed Off!!!!

I am now pissed off. Our lives have been invaded by this gang that goes by the name 

Cheap Security!

This is a great way to add added security to your home. We have ADT but wanted something for when we didn't want the alarm system all the way on. 

THESE WORK GREAT!!!!

For under $80.00 I have every door area in the house covered. The nice thing about the two larger ones, (see video at bottom),  is you can move these around. We have a "Man Cave" upstairs in the back and you can't hear anything in the house. I put one on the steps, and another in the hallway upstairs. I now can sit up their with my 9 mm  and be very comfortable that I would know if anyone were to try to come up. The best thing about these two larger ones, is you can't get close enough to them to turn them off before they sound. I love these. 

**I did try the ones at Lowe's first by GE, but they were not reliable enough for me. They were not very loud and didn't go off EVERY TIME I stepped in front of them . These go off EVERY TIME.  I got these from Home Depot. They are called Doberman Security. 

** The larger ones take a 9 volt battery, not included.  The ones for the doors come ready to turn on. Batteries included. 


Let me know if you have used these and how you like them. Or if you decide to try these, let me know how you like them.

It Survived!!!

IT HAS SURVIVED!!!

My bamboo that I planted days before the first deep freeze has survived ALL the freezes of this nasty winter we had here in Texas. 

It's a little yellow and a little dry but still most of it is still green. Woo- Hoo!!  It is doing great. 

So today I decided to help it along by fertilizing it with

Since Bamboo is in the grass family, this makes sense to me.  It's also Kid and Pet Friendly. A big plus. 

I sprinkled about 3/4 of a cup around each plant

Then I watered it really well

I cut off the stalks that were leaning out to far.

Now I will sit back and watch it grow. Can't wait for it to take off.
