love and family life

With the garden lately. The garden which has been giving us all kinds of produce that we do not know what to do with them. We have given away a lot of squash and a few corn and the squash are still producing like crazy. We might have to sell some of these one of these days. We are still waiting for my eggplants to get big and the tomatoes and peppers as well. My sweet potato patch is going wild and it won’t be long and I will have lots of tops to harvest and make salads of. Even the lemon grass that were puny when I planted on the ground are now thick and green that each plant look so pretty. I may have to give away some before the cold months set in.

I could not explain how I feel right now. I am not sad but I am not happy either. I want to cry for no reason. Am I bored? I don’t have a clue. I just know that I am not feeling good and I hate it.

My father has retired from his job at 61. He was a teacher and he could have worked until he is 65 but he decided to quit now while he still can enjoy his retirement money. He got a pretty sum which he has divided into expenses and savings. I would love to help them budget their money but I am far away and so I am letting them handle their finances and hope they will be smart about it. They already paid off all loans they had, bought materials for the renovation of their house, and stashed money in a savings account for “emergency” use. I joked about my part of the deal but I am not sure if I will get any, lol. It does not really matter as long as their needs are provided for and they are happy. The best thing about this is that I don’t have to send them money anymore. Not as long as my brother who is working as a seaman will continue giving them monthly allowance and they have their money in the bank. I will only send them money on special occasions. So, yay for me
