The rest of the story... And a radish!

Well, after we recovered, I called Dish Network and talked about how much it would cost to get new DVR receivers. They said it would cost us $150.00. I tell this to Steve and he says that's the best they would do and I said yes that is what they said. So he calls up Dish and after a couple of people later, he negotiates a deal with them that gives us 2 Free DVR recievers (that works on 3 tvs) and 3 months of HBO, Showtime, and 1 year of Cinemax, for 1 penny. Plus the first year is at a discount, so in the end it is a better deal than we were going to get from DTV, but no ABC still. But we would have paid more over the next two years w/o any of the above if we had left things the same. Steve is the King of negotiations!!!!

Well, I have been trying out winter gardening, now running into spring gardening and it has been interesting. I can see that some things are possible, they will just take longer. Here is a radish that I pulled that was supposed to take 28 days, this one took 44 days. I should have left it a little longer, it was just a little on the small size. I just couldn't wait to see what was happening under the soil. So I will start planting more, accept that it will take longer and that some things will just not work. We don't get enough sun I have decided for some things I tried. I planted beans and they never came up. I planted peas, and they finally came up, but sparsley, so I need to plant wayyyyy more seeds. The lettuce I started under lights and have now transplanted to beds are doing great!!! I am excited to pick some. I am waiting a little longer. I am hoping to be able to pick some before I go to Europe, but if not, hopefully Steve can pick some or Amy and Mike if they come out to visit. Well, I need to make dinner! Love you all!
