JULY IS ZUCCHINI MONTH!


Well, we sure have had rain lately! There sure seems to be a lot of mosquitoes.

-The garden is going alright. The tomatoes need more sun. Actually everything could use more sun. There is some sun in the mornings though. It's the afternoon when the rain comes.

Rain is very welcome for sure. (Not the hail though.)

The zucchini has been growing good. It is the month for it. We've already been eating of the zucchini! (I have a zucchini recipe for you today, also.)

Here's something for you :

Help for that garbage can:


Even if garbage cans are lined, over time they get dirty; bags rip & food splatters, and gunk builds up. Just the other day when I was retrieving my cans from the curb, I got a whiff and realized it was time to give these workhorses a bath! For outside cans, I grab the garden hose, dish soap, and a plastic broom (it's great for getting to the bottom without the need for gloves, plus the plastic is easy to rinse off). Squirt the whole can with water, Add some soap, scrub, and rinse; turn it over to drain or leave in the sun to dry. You can clean kitchen cans the same way, or wash them in the shower, even.*


Let's talk washing windows:


To make an inexpensive (yet absolutely wonderful) window cleaner, combine about 1/2 cup ammonia, 2 & 1/2 cups rubbing alcohol, 1 teaspoon dish washing liquid, and 1 & 1/2 quarts water, in a clean half gallon jug. Shake well and label. To use, transfer to a clean spray bottle.*

********************************HAPPY CLEANING! **********


I like to let you know about products I use and have found to be good. One I've used lately isn't a new product but it's new to my using it. It's one Billy Mays was advertising. It's OXI-CLEAN. It's a good product. I usually have to drench down my husband's work clothes in HOLLER IT OUT stain remover, (you know the name I'm referring to) but not anymore. (REALLY) It is a fine product and although it seems expensive, just a little bit is used each time, so it really lasts and in the end the price is more reasonable than the other.

Here is the zucchini recipe I promised you:


ZUCCHINI OMELET {makes 2 servings}


Ingredients:

6 eggs

pound zucchini, sliced

3 tablespoons butter or margarine

1 medium tomato, diced

(fresh Chives if desired, for garnish)


Instructions

In medium bowl, beat eggs.

In medium skillet, saute zucchini in 1 tablespoon of the butter.

Add tomato and heat through; keep warm.

For each omelet, melt 1 Tablespoon of the butter in skillet; add half of egg mixture and cook over medium heat until set, but not dry; remove from heat.

Fill center of omelet with zucchini mixture; fold over and turn onto warm platter.

Garnish with Chives.*

Say 'SI' to a siesta!


Find a quiet place to lie down during the day and take a 10 minute nap. It's what I call a power nap. Even if you're sitting in your car on lunch break, get one of those little kitchen timers. (They sell them at Walgreen's or just about any grocery or discount store) Those timers ring loud. IT WILL WAKE YOU UP! (You can even test it at home.) If you didn't sleep well, or sleep enough the night before, you are so much gonna love me for this. Set the alarm, lie back, and just pass out! You will awaken refreshed and ready to start your afternoon! Trust me on this!

-Daytime snoozing is good for your heart!: When Greek researchers measured deaths from heart disease, they found there were 37 percent fewer among people who napped regularly, compared with non-nappers. But to feel sharp when you wake up, limit dozing to 10 minutes. In an Australian study, people who napped for 20 or 30 minutes were slower to get back in gear.*

Tomorrow, July 6th, is the Birthday of George W. Bush, 43rd president of the United States.

Happy Birthday President Bush! (he was born in 1946)

I just recently finished reading a very exciting book called:


"UNLEASHING THE BEAST" by, Perry Stone. I recommend this book very much. It's regarding end time events (eschatology). The author takes you into the Bible to investigate what's going on in the world right now. A really good book.

I'm going to include a link to the author's website; he has a weekly 22 minute program called Manna-Fest that is very good also:
