Hi Nancy, I am glad we worked out that problem. Now did you get notified of my reply or will you have to go the yesterdays blog to read my reply? If that is the case I will put my reply on the next days blog instead so you are sure to get the reply. Today is the coldest yet this spring. Only 44 degrees this morning so I have not gone out side yet. After breakfast I will go to the garden and see if there are any more green tomatoes that have a little color to them and pick them to fry with the box I have down celler all ready. That is my big job this morning. I am getting a great supply of fried green tomatoes for winter. They heat up so easily in my little crock pot, it never gets hot enough to cook them more, it only heats them up. Last year I froze all the small tomatoes but then I had to cook them in other dishes which got to be a bore after a while. This year I have them all fried so I can use them as is for a vegetable. I really needed something different because we got no corn this year it was too expensive because so many farmers lost their crop due to the drough. Now on with the story of 1911.

Things are working just fine Carol so don’t change a thing. Those fried green tomatos sure do sound great and bet they add flavor to any dish!!!!! What a lucky man there beside you!!!!!
My romance is moving wonderfully!!! He is so attentive….I can not believe such a fine man exists in this wild world. I just pray the Gods don’t look down and get jealous and think like Icarus I am flying too close to the sun!!!!!Cold here too and I put a little heat on this a.m. Hate to use my oil this early but don’t want to get chilled and sick before my eye surgery on Thursday. David comes down from Vt. tomorrow eve. for a couple of days. More after the surgery! Love…….
I am glad we finally got this figured out. I like getting an update whenever possible. I just wish my kids would do the same. I love hearing up so upbeat. Life can be so good at this age but it does seem to kick us in the teeth too often also. I guess we just feel life more now, it is more dear once you hit 80 and want to notice and enjoy every day. The fried tomatoes are great and I know we will enjoy them all winter. I even like the batter cooked and frozen. I just put the frozen tomatoes I did yesterday into quart bags and I ate the scrapes that were left of the cookie sheet- still frozen and loved those so I know the real thing will be good this winter, a little taste of summer! This week Norman goes for his eye shot again. It is every two months but it seems as if he is going all the time, he hates it so! He will have to have his cateracts taken care of some time in the not too distant future but they are putting it off as long as they can because he has only the one good eye that he gets the shots in and there is always a chance that the surgery could do more harm than good and if he loses that eye he will not be able to drive any more or read. Best of luck with your surgery, Shirley is very happy with hers. She said it was like putting the shades up and letting the light in. Love Carol
