Jannie, I know you will be thrilled! I finally caught up. lol
I got 8 of these beautiful plates at the auction......they are O L D, and much smaller than the dinner plates they make now. I like to use them.
Our first red raspberries!!!!!! and they tasted sooooo good!! There are only a few for this year, but so many new canes for next year! I can't wait. Aren't they beautiful, Suze? :*)

My Morning Glories are blooming like crazy now. I just hope we don't get an early frost here. We are 1,000 feet up here.....and the mornings are beginning to be quite cool.
Car all fixed!! New hood, rt. light, grill work, etc. All new.

I finally made the "cake in a mug".....It was delicious! and such fun to watch in the microwave. I had a bite and Rock finished it!


My leeks have finally been totally eaten! This is a blossom from one. Delicate and beautiful.
Big Red wouldn't start one morning, so he went bye bye on the tow truck!! Just up the road a piece to the Chevy dealer. It was the starter. It's the 1st thing that has every been wrong with this baby! (except for 2 new batteries and tires)

Sammy is helping me cut material for the curtains for Florida patio. He loves playing with the measuring tape, esp. when it zips back inside the holder fast! I have enough material for pillows, 3 stool covers and cover for glider. All pinned so far!


These are heirloom green tomatoes, shut eyes, and they taste same as red ones!!
Couple of birdhouses we got at the auction! so cute, and one has a real light in the top, using a battery, of course!

The RED heirloom tomatoes. Notice small areas of seeds! Very meaty.

I know, I haven't been on here for some time. We did go on our New England trip......home last Monday evening. Keith had fun "cat sitting" for Sammy and Babe......then he went on to Michigan for some bass fishing! We are back to our "normal" routine, whatever that is!
Waiting for Ken and MJ to come up next Sat. for some bow hunting. I won 2 tickets to the Atlanta Braves vs. Philadelphia Phillies on the 20th in Atlanta. Not far for us to travel.....will be fun and so different for a change! No, not taking the murdercycles!
What a wonderful time we had with our good friends in Lafayette! And I always find something different when we go shopping there! Also, saw Julie and Julia, a great movie! Now, I want her cook book! lol I gained 2 lbs. on this vacation, but have lost it already! Back to CURVES, my favorite place here in GA! hahahaha I go around the circuit 4 times, takes about 1 hr. Feel sooooo good!!
Illinois has oodles of windmills! They are so big!! In face, while at Joan's, (she lives on main street of "little" town) 3 tractor-trailers went through with one propeller on each bed. They were gigantic! Outside of town on way to IN, they were putting them together , ready to hoist up onto the column. It was first time we were so close to one.
