And peaches- how I miss the peaches in Creston, we are farther north here so nobody has peach trees. <br />I thought Tilly was due for a paint job this summer?

I smile every time I see it. Wow....you sure have been busy preparing corn and pineapple and peaches. I bet your days go fast with all the things you two do. You're much more ambitious than I. I got a good report from my Urologist Oncologist today who says I have stayed cancer free for another year. Thank you God. And thank you for your sweet cards during the past three years, Connie.

Very helpful.

I’m thinking of going back to online grocery shopping might be good for me while I recuperate as I don’t think I have the stamina yet on this hip to walk all through the grocery store. <br /><br />Peaches have not been a good purchase here the past couple of weeks. They look so good but are nasty inside. For every 3 or 4 I’ve bought we’ve gotten maybe 1 worth eating.
