Hi Chris Glad you and your family are doing well enjoying the day and the garden. That's a very nice photo of you and garden cat The pumpkin is growing bigger and your sunflower is beautiful. Lots of other great things growing and plenty of nice tomatoes there. It's great you and Holly enjoy the garden and watching your movies on Sat Glad you found some more cool coins in your change too Thanks for all my nice hugs today Have a good night Hugs to everyone-Stephanie
Nice cat, you guys in the US still use coins from 1940s, damn our oldest coins still in use are around 2000.
I LOVE your beautiful pumpkin! I can’t wait to go pumpkin picking! I can’t wait for fall! I love to see the beautiful fall leaves. I went yard sale -ing yesterday. I spent $4. I got a beautiful 100 year old milk pitcher, a retro cool lamp from the 60,s and an antique picture of a young woman. She must have been someone’s love a long time ago::). I had WAY too much fun. I’m so glad that you are so happy Chris. Your journals are filled with joyful pictures and words. Thanks for sharing your sweet life with us every day. I might not be here all the time, but I sure do love it when I make the time to read your journals! Love to everyone!
Hi Chris and Holly Love the picture of you and garden cat. That is a really pretty cat. My grandma had one that was almost marked like garden cat. The flowers are really pretty. Our flowers are all drying up from lack of rain. John and I have to water my hanging baskets every evening or they wilt. We are so hoping for some rain soon.
That is so great that you are able to harvest a lot of vegetables from your gardens. The tomatoes look really good. My canning tomatoes will be ready this week so we will be picking them up on Tuesday. I hope you have a lot of success with your salsa. I am glad that you taste tested the other salsa you made and it was good. Ours is really good too. Salsa and chips is one of our favorite snacks.
It is great that your dad sold you his coins and you were able to find some really good coins among them. John used to collect coins but that is another story. His mother sold his collection because she was angry with John for marrying me and we never saw any of the money from the sale. We felt bad that she did that but that was just her way.
You and Holly have a great Sunday. I am off to church and the picnic after, Take care. Hugs John Debbie and Allie
Hi Chris, glad that your flowers are garden are doing so well, love the pics!!
I hope you and Holy enjoyed your movie night and snacks, I bet those chips and salsa were delicios!! I'm lglad you found some nice coins to add to your collecion also
