Howdy!

Just came back from a few days at the shore where I managed to burn the tops of my feet. Usually dear husband is the one with the foot burn, but this year I got the honor.

Other news, the tomatoes are finally turning red...about 60 of them all at the same time which is not what I'd hoped for. Want some nice tomatoes?

Finbar missed us while we were away. He actually was sweet to me yesterday - rubbing his head against me and purring. Now I know what I have to do to get any attention from him!

I have to share my computer with my husband now: he's doing a special project on it...I miss my computer time but money does come before fun...or money is important if you want to have fun. Example: I had one small fried dough with powdered sugar, a beach treat I must have when at the shore, and it cost $ 4.50 as opposed to a doughnut which costs 45 cents.

I am anxious to see who comes to mow the lawn this week. We have been in the middle of a lawn mowing war. The guy who I see cut the lawn, Romario, told me that the guy who owns the mowing service, Peter, had dumped the business and he, Romario, was now going to cut the lawn. The next day Peter came by and said that Romario was a liar and that he hadn't dumped the business and Romario was fired. I don't care who cuts the lawn, but someone better come soon and do it or I'm buying a goat.

I've suggested buying a couple of sheep to my husband but for some reason he just doesn't go for the idea. I mean i'm sure Mister would LOVE to herd them around. :) Oh well.

Make sure you stop by for the contest Mary - I'm waiting on your response before I post the answer... :)

Hi MB!

So glad to see you back on here! I was getting worried.....

I'm happy that you got to have a few days vacation. That should rev you up!!

Sure do wish we lived closer.....I would LOVE to have some of those fresh tomatoes! Fresh off the vine, how yummy!!

It's been raining here for days....kind of gloomy, altho I actually enjoy rainy days! Especially the thunder and lightning!

Today has been slow here at the store so far.......I'm hoping for some customers!

Hope your day is wonderful!

Linda, me too, give me thunder, lightning...pounding rain that bounces on the sidewalk and streets...love it, especially now that I'm fixed with a French drain, sump pump and other expensive doodads to keep the water out of my basement!

Can I FedEx tomatoes? ;-) xoxoxo

Goat? Is it one of those fainting ones?

"Oh I'm buying a goat." Is not a statement you can end with.
