Florida Tomatoes

Question:

If Nate goes to Lowe's and buys 8 Tomato plants which cost 3.98 plus tax is it worth his investment?


Answer:

8 Tomato plants times 3.98 = $31.84 + sales tax 6.5% = $33.91
Nate harvests 128 ounces of Tomatoes = 8lbs.

Price per pound $4.24 Yikes!


Lesson: Keep watering your tomatoe plants, keep harvesting, and plant 2nd generation tomatoes from the seeds of the 1st generation tomatoes and watch the price per ounce continue to fall.

Nate-

P.S. I hope Mrs. McDonald my 10th grade math teacher gets a chance to read this post.

The Reading Date

Well here we (Ivy and I) are camped out at Panera Bread with our laptops and reading material.

It's been a good Saturday....a trip to Goodwill and The Salvation Army, a local park in Maitland, a reading date to Panera and then we'll finish it off with some good ole' ice cream. (the 1/2 calorie kind).

I've a lot of respect for The Salvation Army as they have combined the Gospel message with social good works. They provide us a reminder that good works follow our faith in Christ.


Ok...back to the ice cream we'll have later, it'll be Cookies and Cream, yum!

Nate-

First of many

Well, here we are, sitting in the great outdoors of Orlando, unsure of where the wireless is coming from. Hopefully not a hacker. So if our blog suddenly ends in mid-sentence...

Oh wait. We're still here.

In case you have no idea why some random person is yakking about wireless bubbles, let us introduce ourselves. I'm Ivy. And my Fiance Nate is sitting right beside me. If you want to know more than that, then read on as we blog. Besides, who ARE you? And why are you snooping into our blog anyway. Mom and Dad, we know you're out there.

Keep checking in. We'll keep you posted on our bizarre adventures in life. Trust me, we've had a few of them.

First random adventure...(trust me, they'll get better.) We just watched the Pizza Hut delivery guy get the top of his truck smashed (ok, not smashed, but whacked pretty good) by the security gate of the apartment complex where I'm staying. Use the keypad, buddy. And bring the pizza THIS way.
