]]> Sue loves dirt. She’s happy moving wheelbarrows full of soil back and forth for Chuck’s purposes, weeding and mulching around small trees, digging for a conch shell garden, but perhaps her favorite dirt is found in her garden.

Her garden is a tiny patch of The Peabody Estate, nestled behind the shed and new beach right next to the Hutson’s gate (through which their dogs enjoy the view). Her garden may be tiny, but it contains a huge variety of flowers and vegetables.

A few days ago Susie gave me the tiniest tomato. Apparently it fell off its vine and wasn’t quite ripe – but after a few days sitting on a windowsill, it brought joy to my salad with bright colors and great flavor. God bless Sue and her garden! Mike

]]> Not me!!! Dear dears. The hot tub just drove out the drive way. We gave it away to a nice family who will actually go in it! I have to admit. It sat on my patio for 2 years…. I went in it once when Heather and Perry owned the house.. Then with the rebuild after the hurricanes it was "what are we gonna do with the hot tub????" Today we rolled it out to the driveway and voted (the neighbors were a quorum and we voted "get rid of it…. Chuck and Sue don’t know the meaning of the word maintenance") and Chuck and I went out to dinner and the neighbors were loading it on to a trailer when we came home from dinner…. Bye bye a way of life… imagine floating in the hot tub while looking out at the lake. Never did it so .. well you know the rest. We also have a canoe I’ve never been in…. Sometimes I feel guilty!!!!! Love and kisses from a lady who has it all! Susie
