Hi Joy. I was 15 in that shot. 5' 10" and 185 lbs. The set of the jaw is Goodman stubborness. A family trait. Sometimes it has been a blessing and at others it has gotten me in a lot of trouble.

The Ripe Tomato pie comes from a recipe I sent to some folks. It was Green Tomato Pie and it really tastes a lot like green apple pie if it is done right. My wife looked up the receipe for me and decided she would make one. The tomatoes were a little to ripe and it was horrible. Nastyest mess I ever tried to eat. I am one that never complains about what my wife cooks so I tried my best to eat it. Finally, I looked over at her and said, "Baby, I'm sorry, but I just can't eat this." Then I noticed that she had just taken on tiny bite. She had been sitting there watching me and wondering how I could stand that terrible mess. Forty-eight years I've been eaten that woman's cooking but that was the worst. She was trying her best to keep from laughing at me. "Bless her heart." That is what we say in Louisiana when we'd really rather choke her. It is our way of making allowances for each other.

How do you like this pic. I haven't always been fat and ugly.
