Twenty-one days to shop, shop shop

Joy notice that stubborn set to the jaw there in Jim's picture.....there is a picture of a man who will not eat ripe tomato pie.

I need coffee.

Venice and anyone else who may be starting a lot of seeds, found this economical way to do it. Cut toilet paper rolls in half, place on aluminum tray, fill with soil and plant seeds in them. When you go to plant them outside, just plant the roll and tear off around the top so the soil is at the right level.

Hi Lynnie,Yes I often NEED coffee,myself :}
I see what you mean about Jim's jaw but it's still a good photo.
Ripe tomato pie sounds rather soggy ,so I would'nt blame him:}
I've never used that seed sowing method,but one of my friends does,she saw it featured on a TV gardening program as a suggested thrifty idea,no need to buy small pots,or seed modules.i just seem to have so many pots stacked in the garage,that I'll be a while wearing them all out :}
JJ,I hope the Dr can give your Grandson something to help his cough,best to see Dr,especially if he's not getting any better.My younger son has Asthma,so gets a lot of coughs and chest trouble ,so I know what it's like.
It's 8.45,here now,and I must go and do a few things before it's later and i don't want to do them.
Talk tomorrow,good night all
Best Wishes
Joy

Rachael good to see ya in here more, I'm adding cheeseball to the goody menu, so you,Lynnie,and I are gonna have to meet up at the Gym if this keeps up lol. Smilely you have a lovely family and you are cute as a button too. Looked like a bunch of tourist lol. JJ want to see all the reindeer now are ya done yet?

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.

Hi Flowers, you should have come on an got a hug. The one thing in life that I'm the Champion of is hugging. The women at church always line up for a hug at church. I also wear a high $ colone that makes me smell really good. One of the deacons at church told me that he was tired of his wife telling him how good I smelled. I told him if he'd break down and spend a few bucks instead of wearing that $2 a gallon stuff he used, she would brag on him for a change. Lord have mercy it is good to be old and not owe anyone a dime. True independence for the first time in my life.

are we doing baby pics? guess which one is me.

That is adorable Jim, bet you were a pistol at that age. Speaking of tomatoes, hows the tomatoe bale going? Are we gonna have them for Christmas as planned? Good you invest in nice cologne, most men your age only know old spice LOL.

I know Lynnie, your the one with hand on the bat right? Getting ready to wack your brother.!

Jim just rolls in the haybales that's why he smells good.

nope, and I don't think that's who she was thinking of whacking.

I think you are the curly haired cutie on the bottom step

Ok ;your the little dark haired one trying to divert the attention to the little cutie next to you.

Alright Lynnie tell us which one is it? Lovely family by the way. All siblings?

I know which one you are Lynnie, you are the pretty one.

Thirty years of pastoring teachs you to be very diplomatic.

The tomatoes are a bust. Pulled one that was ripe today and it had a rotten spot.

The colone is $80 for one ounce. Hey, that's not extravagant. My wife likes it.

Ohhhhh sweet Jim, keep the home fires burning LOL

Hi Jim...so what is this treat for the ladies called? (besides Rev Jim?)...Grin

You were right Lynnie when you told me there was a family resemblance. You all favor.

I have four sisters and we don't resemble each other. They are all fat and ugly and mean. I was always pretty, sweet and loveable.

Six girls in Jo's family and they definitly resemble eack other.

that's most of us, 2 weren't born yet. my mother liked to cut our hair herself....she would keep trying till she got the bangs straight.

just saw your post moon, yep took all day but stocked up hopefully for a while. Got more stocking stuffers and can't wait to get all thirteen on the fireplace lol

That will be so cool...Flowers baker's dozen...grin

Need to put their names on them cause I know I will forget whos is whos lol

LOL Lynnie, didn't you love it when they stretched the bangs real tight and cut. It would spring back to the top of the head and had to look like Mork on Mork and Mindy Show. LOL

Jim where did ya go? Did we make ya blush??? Please tell us a story

no, she cut a little, saw it was crooked, cut a little more, crooked the other way, cut a little more....she still does it to the babies in the family.

great pictures, Lynnie and Jim.

My kids still talk about the haircuts I gave them, give me a hard time. Said it looked like I put a bowl on their heads.

Smiley bet you went to the parlor starting at two of age. I can see Dixie as one pig tail up and one down lol

Jim is rolling in hay right now getting all sweet smelling.

Moon your hair was straight like mine and just loved your crooked bangs lol

Dolce Gabana Light Blue and it looks like a 3 oz. bottle instead of one.

Never heard of it, must be one of those Louisanna special mixtures.
