Peach - I laughed so hard when I read what you wrote about Pete, tears ran down my legs!!!!
Leota - I love, love, love picked okra. I agree about the store bought not tasting as good as home made. I love fried okra, whole okra baked around meat loaf, whole okra dropped in and cooked with blackeyed or purple hull peas (when they are almost done) and steamed whole okra. I just love okra!!!! I also love pickled beets, yellow squash pickles and the mixed pickled vegetables. Both my daughters will just sit and eat pickled beets right out of the jar, not just with meals. I could never buy enough fast enough.
Man - everyone has been getting such beautiful and thoughtful gifts. Some of our Angels are really talented. I also have not heard from my Angel in awhile but know she cares cause I get a great box every 2-3 months.
Oh....did I tell all you great folks I am going to be a grandma again? Grandson due Nov 11 by youngest daughter and another grandbaby by other daughter middle of Feb. Don't know yet if it is boy or girl but been sewing like crazy. I am still making baby quilts for new babies born at Church and our Church is called "New Life Church" and believe you me, we give meaning to that name!!! lol
Have a nice day everyone and enjoyable weekend. Love ya'll!
