This summer my husband planted a large vegetable garden. They started to grow and we were excited to eat some delicious home grown vegetables. One day we went to check on the garden and there were parasites all over the corn. Hundreds of beetles destroying what we (and by we I mean he, I didn't touch it, smiles) worked so hard for. Sadly, there are parasites out there that want to destroy your marriage, too. Join me at Woman to Woman to read more...

I praise God for being IN my life, for being able to talk to God whenever I need to, for the blessings He has given to all of us, for my wonderful family, for the forgiveness He gives to me.
ReplyDeleteJenifer, I want to know where you got the green tomatoes so you could have fried green tomatoes. It has been so long since I have had any of them. Couldn't you have shared with me. *smiles*
Blessings to you and love you.
I got them from 94th and Parallel Parkway. The white house with a tomato sign out front. She said because of the drought there is very little this year. I will see if they have any more and bring some over for lunch next time we swim. :)
