My Move to Redding

February 2014- I arrived in Redding to be closer to my kids, love the location of my new house (a grocery store in walking distance). I have really cool room mates, Jake- hes a comedian, his 2 daughters Brianna & Marti, Bill & Pam and their 2 cats Ono & Lilly.

My grandson & daughters visit me often, Im very thankful for the time I get to spend with them. Can't wait for my Ashley to get home from Dubai.

I planted 4 Big Boy tomatoes, so far so good. Still tryin to figure out the soil here in Redding, it holds water for days.

I planted zucchini squash, its growing really fast, it doubled in size in just 1 week or maybe 2 (I forget lol)

and I planted baby cucumbers, if they produce enough, I want to make my kids some pickles
(my gmas recipe) I want to plant more...maybe some peppers, melons, green beans, stuff for salad.

I like it here alot! :)
