on Sunday
Here's hoping everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that you are able to enjoy beautiful weather like we are...my kind of weather!!!
on Saturday
That is so true. Of all the things everyone carries around with them in life it is the hurts and the blessings we remember the most. I try to not hurt anyone intentionally and if I do accidentally I say sorry and I also try and be a blessing.

Take this seriously!

I have been away awhile. My husband just got out the hospital a couple days ago and I am behind.
He had surgery for a colon tumor...will be having ongoing chemo treatment soon.
EVERYONE~~have your colonoscopy done. It is a breeze apart from the large volume of liquid you have to drink. It may save your life and much sorrow for your loved ones!
See my husband's message on AmemricanChronicle.com on this!

Hi Barbera! they are hybrid p6 chillies . I dry them for grinding as red chillie powder is a basic ingredient of our daily cuisine.They are also used to make dips or CHUTNIES.

Hello Barbara, the lettuce was a Webbs Wonderful, they are usually huge and I remember them from when I was a kid as my father grew them. If ever you are in the UK you are welcome to visit.

Hi Barbara,
Sorry it has taken so long to reply to your message. I have many Vanderbilt ties, love the school. My dad was a professor there in Economics and would have been there when you were. I was there in the early 70's and my brother was there 68 - 72. How is your garden?

Barb, will my bee-balms need any special attention to make it through the winter? They are about 8 in tall and look pretty healthy. I've never had them b4.

I've found the same happening in my mind too. Always looking at the place veggies or fruit is from in the grocery store, and if it's stuff that can be grown local but is out of season I generally avoid it, or if it's in season I'll get it from the...

First type the text you want to appear....  ie  IAN'S PAGE

Then go back and highlight the link text.

Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.
