We rarely have them for anything else, but when we have Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers, there is always a split dish with half black olives and half green. Yum. Family tradition!

So today I sprinkled some on my salad because I saw on your list that you like it. Wow!! I love them! I've had them on Greek Salad before but never a garden salad. Thanks for the tip!

(and with as little cost as possible!). And as for you being like your Mom when you grow up-from what I've read on here about what she's like I would say you've learned alot from her. You give alot to make your children, dh, and all of our lives more special! Aww I’m sorry to hear that…I hope it all starts working soon! (and with as little cost as possible!).

I'd love to be like her when I grow up! ;) And we didn't get to go shopping today, went out to start our Suburban and it wouldn't turn over. Dh took his truck to town and bought a starter, came home and installed it, still wouldn't start. So he replaced the fuel filter and some other stuff and has given up. So much fun for his one day off! :( And bad timing as my back up vehicle has a leak in the gas line. Thank God there's a perfectly good reason for all of this, even if I don't know what it is just yet!

That's so nice of you to say and reading this first thing in the morning just made my day! I think alot of it is to do with how I was raised; my Mom was alot like this and (even though at the time I wished she was "cooler" now I see how much love it took for her to be so into her family. I was so happy to come across your site and comforted to know there were more Mother's/Wife's out there like me because nowadays people are so much more career- and money-driven that family takes the back seat. LOL-and I wouldn't say I excel at them...I do have many mishaps along the way! Thank you! That’s so nice of you to say and reading this first thing in the morning just made my day!

I love cuke 'n' onion salads...and we're going shopping later this morning, so I'll stock up on romaine and toppings! By the way, I just want to say I'm so impressed by you, Geri! In my mind, you excel at these homemaking endeavors. To be so young and enthusiastic, unafraid to tackle "special diets" for your dh, or long recipes...etc. Way to go! I wish more young marrieds put as much effort into making their home a haven for their family. You are an inspiration! And your dh is blessed! Mmm, sounds yummy!

But today after reading this I went and looked in the fridge. We had cucumbers and tomatoes so I made a cuke'n'tomato salad with oil and vinegar dressing and salt and pepper...my MIL's specialty.
