When you have need...ask

 Daddy man came home with a load of lemons today. He had taken the children (plus one) over to a nearby empty dirt lot to film and shoot the air soft guns. A woman spoke over her back yard wall and offered lemons to him. He delighted that "his wife loves lemons" and picked what she offered.
Now just the day before yesterday I saw them for 3/$1 and they were small. I was shopping and stopped in thought at the shopping list and asked God for some.

 Simple syrup is a staple in my refer. So within 5 minutes lemon aide for the family. They all were amazed at the fast offering. So after an hour or so we had another batch of simple syrup, lemon juice for recipes, lemon zest to freeze and more drink for the afternoon.

 ...and yes, a sink yet full of beautiful pesticide free lemons. To zest a store bought lemon is a no no for the wax and such is a rich poison of sorts concentrated in the rind.
After washing, air dry, zest and let the lemon rest to dry a little and it will be much less slippery to juice.

 Use this for pie, curd and also recipes for chicken or fish.

 The lemon juice is in a spray catchup re-purposed container and the zest is in a dispenser made from an infant/toddlers snack container. A pinch at a time is easy. When frozen the zest will be a dryer texture. Do not press it into the container and it is easy to pinch.

The last several weeks have been full of these wonderful offering.

A book I needed was on shelf with the invoice accidentally left inside. The manager gave it to me from the online site, used her id and it came to me at 2/3 costs. Again I had prior asked for the very book.

We needed some binders and such for the kids home school. When at the Jr High withdrawing Dove I was able to purchase at a greatly reduced cost and support the school at the same time.

We were also blessed at years end with a wonderful Christmas. It would have been a much different type of holiday had I not opened up to be willing to ask the Jr High if we qualified for reduced lunches. The $20 a week was too rich. Although we did not qualify we were called and sponsored a bit. IT was strange and humbling to accept. Being the one who receives is much different than giving.

Ask for your needs
Your Father knows what you have need of. Asking humbles us and Lifts HIM up. We all need to be needed even God

Good Morning

Well hi there
Happy New Year!
Everything is awesome here just really crazy. Dove has come home to do on line school so it is a time of huge transition. She is doing all the prep testing. With paperwork to in roll and like wise withdraw every moment is well used up. We are also setting up the ymca k12 time it is a 12 hour attendance a week with at most 9 to 1 ratio at the Tempe y just 5 miles away. This is free to the kids as it will give time with other kids and me work out time for my membership will be at a reduced cost.
I have been speaking to a lawyer and I do not qualify for the disability. One must work for 5 out of the last 10 years. It is an issue at 65 that I will fall under Steve's s.s .
Teaching will be a good 6 hours or so work for me with prep time and such. We are so happy the kids are doing so well. School started on Tuesday.
Allergy shots went well on Monday now that I got off of the meds for my back. I can not do both. My back is better so that is good too.


Doing this with sleeping issues he must not have woke me.

We moved the freezer out to the garage and got rid of the other refer. I LOVE having my window back it was a huge task. Still have a tree to get down.

We start our day at 8-8:30 and school from 9-2 or so. The lunch break is watching science or history documentary
