What an exciting week! Happy anniversary to you and Holly !! Happy birthday Lisa!! Happy 18th to Kayla - my gosh, I remember when she was 7 when I first joined DS. Time’s flown. She’s grown into a beautiful young woman with her whole wonderful life ahead of her.
Say hi to everyone from me, sending love and best wishes across not so many miles anymore

Hi Chris and Holly I am sure that your fried zucchini will taste really good. We do the same thing and use Italian bread crumbs. It is one of John's favorite dishes. Your plants look amazing as always. I am glad that Holly is learning all about gardening and helping you with the plants. It is so great when the two of you can do something rewarding together. We have to go and get Mason a birthday gift today sometime. We are going to go to Dunham's Sports Store and see if we can find him an outfit. Then I want to go to Ollie's and get him a story book. He loves books and so I want to get him a special story book of Bible stories. I hope you have a great day and please stay safe in this heat. It looks like it is affecting most of the eastern United States. Hugs--John Debbie Mya Abby and Allie
