HAPPY BIRTHDAY POP we LOVE you and hope for many more birthdays to come and go.  I know you can't wait to enjoy your ice cream cake but that will be an evening treat:)

Nothing new around the farm, Pat is putting new blades on my John Deere lawn tractor so it looks like I'll be cutting some grass when the weather cools down a little.  Actually I enjoy cutting I just hate feeling so dirty & gritty when the job is over.  I skipped cutting out front by the mail box last week so I think that's where I'll start cutting this week.  Between the rain & sunshine I don't know what makes the grass grow faster but I know one thing before the week is over the lawn needs done.  I sure do enjoy having new blades - watch out lawn here I come!!

Just made Dad a tomatoe & mayonnaise sandwich for lunch he loves those sweet tomatoes that Pat grew.  He swears that I put sugar and salt on them he says "there the best(o)ns I've ever had".  Taking that from an old farmer it's quite a compliment and especially from one that never use to know how to compliment you.  Actually I think he has enjoyed the "maters" as much as we have.  Typicall everyday for lunch I make a nice salad out of tomatoes, long green peppers out of the garden, sweet onion, cucumbers, fresh basil, olive oil & seasoned wine vinegar.  It usually gives me indigestion but I enjoy eating it and normally have a few tums afterwards.

Hank is doing okay, he's sleeping most of the time and Abner pretty much stays in the chair with Pop during the day.  Aside from getting fat, Abner is doing wonderful still as fisty as ever!

Okay, I need to check on the status of my new blades & see if Pat's ready for lunch.  I'll start the salad, you start up the cars & head South lunch will be on the table.

Love,

Patty
