Good morning guys, how is everybody today? We sure hope all goes well for each and every one of you! We’re back once more in ole Miz Judi’s Kitchen and gonna see what we can come up with for ya’ll today! So grab a chair, have a seat, and let’s shoot the bull for a while.
First off…we got the outside of our greenhouse finished yesterday…YES! Man we’re so proud we’ve finally got it “buttoned up,” and this is gonna be a WHOLE lotta fun! I have to admit that there’s nothing more fun to me…than watchin Deb work! I could literally watch it for hours on end! LOL!
I used to be of the belief that Deb could be doing one thing, while I was on another project, and for most of our lives that was the case. Deb would handle the “homefront,” while I’d be out tryin to make us a livin. It worked really well.
Then, the day came that ole Red grabbed ahold in our business, and became an integral part of it. The man can work. Honestly, he’s a dern “workin Trojan,” and if one of the crew ain’t pullin his weight, shoot, ole Red will send em packin, and if the need be, will carry their weight on the job too. On top of this, all our customers love the guy.
He’s a great young man, a great Father, a HARD worker, and is full of it in regards to his personality…must come from his Mama, huh?
But to him not listenin to any flak on the job, and not toleratin poor performance with his crew, this has it’s not so good points as well. Why? Well, about 4 years ago he fired one of the employees that had been with us over 14 years…ME???
The man told me he could get more work done, with less hassle, if I’d take an “early retirement!” I was shell-shocked! I tried to argue with him for all of about 15 seconds or so, then saw that no matter how hard I tried to convince him he still needed “the old man,” I gave up.
I just hung my head, and acted very despondent over his decision while walking off. Yet, the whole time this was bein played out, my inner self was sayin, “YES!! God Bless him for his actions!! LOL!
So, after “suckerin ole Red” into runnin me off, I wouldn’t talk to him for quite a while….maybe 30 minutes or so. At that point I called him on the jobsite and told him that I’d not let his firin me interfere with the rest of our lives together…explained to him that I “was a bigger man” than that! LOL!

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
