Pop's and his clippings!

Well my Pops contacted me last week and asked me if I wanted some daisy clippings for my yard......Well of course I said yes! My Pops asked "How much do you want?" and I said "Give me what you can!" Fast forward a week.... So Pops calls me yesterday and wants me to pick up my clippings and get them planted in the yard, like NOW! (If you knew my dad, you would know he would say it EXACTLY Like that!) Having just got back from a week long work trip to Tucson, I was just so dang "Exhausted!" (Yes, there is that word again!) AND I was running a fever. So I sent one of my son's to go pick up the bag from Pops. Wow! You would NOT believe the amount of clippings we received!!! I wish I had taken a picture of the bag but forgot. Anyhow, so I am laying in bed yesterday and today and everytime I make my way to the kitchen, I see this large bag full of clippings laying in my path.  Dang!  Why did I have to be so ambitious wanting these clippings?!?!  I am tired and exhausted and wha, wha, wha!!! As my strenght finders assesment will tell you, it ranked "Responsibility" as a VERY high trait of mine.  That means that people like me are neurotic and have to get things done if they say they will. I promise you, not always such a good trait! So I go back to bed feeling really lousy and wandering what am I to do and then in comes Mr.to lay down with me......... Hmmmmmmm. Well, with a little "Wha,Wha" ( No, I am not proud of it, just not feeling well), I am oustide with the Mr. rooting those lovely clippings and it gets knocked out in no time.  See look how beautiful! ( This is just one of the many pots we used. )   So here's the key before rooting...... Use this very wonderful stuff below-Rooting powder. Put on the tip of the roots and plant.  We should have some really pretty plants in the Spring!!

Blogging-Should I or shouldn't I?

I am a person that loves, loves, loves to try new things, especially when it comes to food. New recipes, new restuarants, new cooking gadgets, etc.....  I often find myself sharing and giving feedback regarding my foodie ventures to many different people.  So, my thought process was.......Why not in one place?  It's not that I really want to become a blogger, more just a history of things that I have tried and recommend (and NOT recommend). I work a FT job but in my off time, my love is food......Good food, healthy food, different food, green food, some junk food, ethnic food, basically any adjective you can put in front of the word "Food."  I also like to share and recieve those special recipes that are so good at our family parties, parties, etc....   So should I or should't I?  That is the question.........Hmmm.

On a last note, how did I come up with the name "Part Duex"?  Well, Mr. and I are going to be empty nesters in about four months...(Boo-hoo!!....... Seriously!!!) and after being a mother for the past 19 years, I am determined to live a full, vibrant life and find something that I enjoy doing in my off time now that being a mother FT is changing.  So, as my blog title refers too- " Here is to Part Deux ( The second part) of my life!"
