Interesting blog from someone in Australia that grew them “A while ago I heard of an ancient Peruvian heirloom tomato that did not grow round or oblong like most tomatoes, but grew segments that one could separate like a mandarin or an orange. This tomato could be eaten one segment at a time without the use for a knife. This sounded intriguing, I wanted to see a tomato like this”. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance: What was your Dad like when you were growing up? When did you learn to ride a bike? How did you celebrate your 21st Birthday? etc. etc. Each time I finish writing on a topic, it gets sent to our 3 daughters, and from what I understand, it will be put into a book when finished. Since you enjoy writing, Lenny, this would be "right up your alley", as the saying goes.😊 I do enjoy writing these stories, when I do sit down to write them!😉 That is exactly what my friends wife said to me when she suggested that I do this I have had two very tragic experiences which have affected my outlook on life .When Toby and I were dating and things were getting really serious I told her about both of these things.My daughters know but not my granddaughters.I wrote a book of short stories and poetry that was published and I put aside copies for each granddaughter that my plan is to give them next summer when they will be 20 and 16. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'all for a small or large group. All Y'all when you want to expand the group you where referring to first. All I know is that soon after moving here to TX from NY I was told what the REAL meaning of "bless your heart" is. From Google my friend: "Bless your heart" is a phrase common to the Southern United States. The phrase has multiple meanings and is used to express genuine sympathy but sometimes as an insult that conveys condescension, derision, or contempt. It may also be spoken as a precursor to an insult to mitigate its severity. Edited July 28, 2023 by BonTexasNY 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temperture just drpped 10 degrees in the last 20 minutes ....86 to 76 degrees. Those clouds are eerie looking but also cool looking. It was nasty HOT and Humid here today. We reached over 100 with a feel like Hedouble hockey sticks. 40% chance of storms overnight with a high of 95 tomorrow then should be really nice Sunday in the low / mid 80's. Our roof was scheduled to be done this week but owner of the company called earlier in the week and said he was giving his guys off for the rest of the week due to the extreme heat. Which was fine by me as I wouldn't want anyone working on my roof in these temps. rescheduled for Tuesday which looks like we should have a beautiful day per forecast. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was just about ready to water the garden when these dark clouds rolled in. No need to now we got a good downpour for 40 minutes. The high the last 3 days was near 85 degrees, It's now 70 degrees and the sun is out again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
