~Plants~

This is my good friend Ruth, she lives in Arkansas, and those are

her tomato plants in her garden!! Are those great plants or

what? Look at the size and height of them..Wonderful.. I can

see those lucious green ones there.. I wish Arkansas wasn't

so far away! You KNOW what I would be doing.. Id be at Ruth's

asking for a couple of those green ones..
These are my friend Raife's tomato plants, or maybe I should

say Managements ..Ines, has a very green thumb..and their

garden and all the flowers around prove it..Both of them take

very good care and they have a lovely spot in the English country

side..They do differently with theirs..you see how tall they are..

Raife said they prune theirs so to speak and take off the bigger

leaves..which sounds logical to do then the veggie itself is probly

getting more of the nutrients... My Dad used to grow his in a case

he had made out of windows that was like a mini hot house. Ines

has a wonderful glass green house that Raife put together for her.

She does a beautiful job..shes also a gourmet chef..some of the

meals he tells me she prepares for him..well...hes very fortunate

to have such a great cook..Look at all the yummy matoes .. NOW...

if you laugh.. :-D... look at mine..... LOL...
Now, these are some GREAT tomato plants yes? I hear you laughin :-)

Pitiful.. I had to laugh when I saw Ruth's gorgeous ones then I was

telling Raife he says "just a minute I'll go take a photo of ours" he did,

and look at THOSE beautys...I think we just planted late or something.

but my poor little guys..well bless their hearts theyre trying and I have

to take care of them and give them credit for that..But I do wonder if I

will have any tomatos from those 2 little guys...

A friend told me a cute story today and I probly shouldn't tell but I had

to laugh so hard cuz it sounds like something I would do and I KNOW

many have.He went to the mall.drove there.parked out in the parking

lot. and proceeded to go in and do his shopping..Awhile later, having

done that, was time to leave, he went out to the parking lot and could

NOT find his car..Now this car , is a VERY bright YELLOW..like a big

canary happy yellow car.. easily would be spotted.. Well..he proceeds

to walk up and down here and there..finally just gives up and heads

back into the mall to call the police, that his car was stolen. He was

mad, upset and totally aggravated, he knew all the crap that was ahead

in filing police reports and all..he wasn't happy....

As he is walking down past the cars..he spots a van that had a Ducks

Unlimited Sign stickie thing on it..he pauses, looks, and thinks..' I have

one of those on my van TOO'.. it hit him like a ton of bricks.."OHOH..

THATS MY VAN!" he forgot he had driven his van..spent over an hour

trekking up and down looking all that time..and had driven his VAN.!!..

I laughed SO HARD .. I cant believe he did that..then to tell ME of all

people..like I could resist putting that here? see? I aint the only forgetful

one.. I am so bad sometimes.. I can open my browser to look up some

thing and by the time it comes on I forgot what I was looking for... Well..

anyway, I have to thank my friend Don for the wonderful laugh today...

that was so cute.. almost as bad as getting in the back seat instead of

the front.. I have NEVER done that my self.. :-)

My sister, got a phone call while her daughter Cheryl was visiting one day,

Stanley had gotten hurt on a tree job of course..only thing that ever really

damaged Stanley, any way they both panic, run hurriedly out the door to

where the cars were parked..Shirley jumps in the drivers side of her car..

Cheryl jumps in the passenger side......... of HER CAR!....they sit for a

half second.. look across at each other with these confused looks

Shirley said.. Cheryl jumps back out and comes over to Shirleys car

and gets in.. They were in a hurry.. But I can just see them.. the looks on

their faces as Cheryl is seeing her mother all the way across in her own

car..she thought Shirley would drive I guess or just didn't pay attention

which car as long as she got in one...she was ready to go.. Shirley said

she Yells at Cheryl to "WAKE UP and GET IN THIS CAR ! " That sounds

about right for us though... we do goofy stuff ..
I think it runs in the family ;-)

We have grandbaby number 3 as of 9:30 this morning.. Mom and baby
boyare doing great..Nikki, Donnies step daughter, had her 2nd baby,
which is Donnies 3rd grand..His other stepdaughter Amber has the
baby girl, Kristin..shes 9 months old now...Donnie was on his way to go
and visit them. Nikki had a C-Section this morning..so we all knew baby
would be here today.The 20th is a good date, that's the date of my birth
day, except mine is in January.. Grandpa is pleased.. well we all are. who
isnt to welcome a new baby. Penny came today and I got us one of those
5 dollar pizza's from Little Cesares..sausage of course...it was really good..
Penny ate some , and there are at least 5 slices left..its a large pizza..so I
will nuke a slice or 2 , and go and watch some TV.. I log off and try to
watch it but I keep finding that eye shut button and hit that every time..
"Nitey Nite"

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya. and thanks!!! :-)

Always, Lois ****
