Wally, congrats on Day 6 AF. You are on your way!!

Charlee, thank you for your nice note. Any further thoughts / happenings WRT daughter in law from the Italy trip?? For her sake as a young woman with her life in front of her, and of course your son - I keep hoping that she was just letting her hair down. But it's hard to ignore the signs when we *know*........yikes.

OMW I am pea green with envy over you and 4tbz with your vegetable gardens!!! Next spring will be my first sober one as an adult, and by golly and I'm gonna have a garden come **** or high water. In good news, the farmers market I thought was not going to be operating this year IS. It's really close to my house too. So I bought a 1/2 bushel of tomatoes this morning - should be enough for about 6 quarts. Bought a few other things just for meals this week. Produce in the grocery stores has been HORRID here this year. It was nice to see the first edible looking green bean for 2008.

If you all have any EASY canning recipes for things like salsa, or anything involving zuchini (sp) please share. I use the method passed down in the family for at least a few generations for basic tomato canning, but have never ventured past that.

LOL Beck - I'm glad this 90 days has flown by for you!!! That's too funny. For me, I thought the first 10 were a lifetime sentence in hell. I thought 30 would never end. The next 30 was a bit smoother. The last 30 went by pretty fast. Have fun getting your kiddos all ready for school. And HUGE congratulations to you Beck on keeping your sobriety through so much upheaval this summer with the move, etc. etc. You are such an inspiration to me.

cindi I hear ya on that procrastination!!! I applaud you for handling this business travel like you do. Thank you for your nice note!!

Caysea congratulations on 96 days. Your post rings true with me. I think that is great advice / info for people just getting started, or really at any point under this 90ish day mark. At least that's been my experience too. I bet while you were on your rafting trip, you WISHED you were home instead so you could get some cheerleaders on your 90 day anni. Because come on. Internet cheerleaders are SO much more exciting than a real life rafting trip, right??? So.....here are your Married Man Cheerleaders approved by a whole panel of MWO wives..



Gotta go tackle those tomatoes.

DG
