Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot!

Week 158!

I hope all is going well in your part of the world. I finished planting all my flowers and plants today. I didn’t plant near as many as I usually do. My heart just isn’t in it these days. I do need to get some more perennials for the hump to make that look nice. The HOA landscapers sprayed for weeds last week or the week before. Now, my roses look puny as well as my birch tree has dropped lots of leaves. I did text the guy, but, as usual, I got no response. I don’t like to be that kind of person, but I want them to know what’s happening with what they’re spraying on our yards. I can’t believe it hasn’t happened anywhere else in the neighborhood. Anyway, it’s time for the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot! I am always aiming for 9:30 pm EDT. So, on with the show, right?

As part of our new year reboot, we are now shining the spotlight on a different blogger each week. We invite you to stop by their blog, take a look around and say hello! This week, we spotlight Linda from Bushel & a Pickle.

Linda says, “I live in Central Pennsylvania in a very, very old farmhouse. Bushel & a Pickle is my blog. Sharing my life experiences that incudes home, food, travel, family and faith is a delight for me. My husband, Jim and I began our life together in Germany over 40 years ago where we both served in the US Army. Little did we know when we arrived to serve in different locations that our paths would cross after a more than a year. We arrived with limited luggage and left 3 years with more luggage and a container shipped with furniture, lots of dishes, Bavarian crystal and art. Bonus, we were not only married; we were pregnant with our first child. Thus began our lives together with many moves and many travels. Though the many moves to military quarters, rentals, apartments and homes making each place a home for our family was a passion of mine. After Jim retired, we moved our family of five to China for a new career. Figuring out how to made our apartments home was a fun challenge of creativity and resourcefulness! We returned with a family of seven! We adopted our two youngest daughters when we lived in China. Read that miracle story HERE. Eventually we returned to our 200 year old PA farmhouse. Our family has been blessed as we grew to include our amazing son in law and 2 wonderfully dear daughters in law and 7 grandchildren.” You can visit Linda here, and please tell her we sent you.
