Entry # Thirteen Hundred & Eighty Nine.

The coffee is ready and I am ready for the coffee. And don't forget you tea lovers, there is plenty of that ready also, I would never forget you. I am feeling very good, and as I think of the 15th of this month I just have to smile a little. I wish that some of you could come and help me set those tomatoes out, and then rejoice with me.

I hope that you won't be expecting very much from old Dad this morning. My router went out last night and I am on dial up. And you know how slow and limited that is. But I just want to come on with what I could and at least lry to let you know that I am still around and feeliny very good.

I have learned to smile even when things go wrong, It's a lot better that a frown.

Dad,
I'll gladly send you a photo of our tomatoes but it may be a couple more months! Hey, I have an idea....why not ask your faithful readers to send in a photo of them smiling! I bet you'd get a bunch. Then if you want, you can post them, or not. Just enjoy all those smiles just for yourself!
Love you,
Nancy : )

And I think that Nancy should be the first one to send me one of those smiling photo's. Come on Nancy let, get this started. DAD

Look over to your left, this is faster and more convient for you to find certain things, DAD

From this one spot on the left side pannel you can check on a lot of interestingthings such as the eagles, smoky cams, chicks hatching , TomatoCasual, and a lot more that I don't have room for here, Dad.

Be sure and check on Jim, he might make you laugh. Dad.

April is the Cruelest Month
Tags: April, ideas and spring

By Kira Hamman

OK, so, all the experts say that when T.S. Eliot wrote that famous line he was talking about the despair of the modern age, but you and I know that he was really speaking directly to tomato gardeners.

After all, what could be crueler than feeling the sun on your face and watching the daffodils bloom, celebrating the lengthening days and the first asparagus harvest, yet all the while knowing that it will be months before the first tomato is ripe?

I’ll tell you what – nothing.

With that in mind, I offer here a few ideas to make the wait slightly less tedious: Read the rest of this entry »

I am going to stop this for a while. Mary and I have two very special guest that are having breakfast with us this morning, These are two different ones than the two we had yesterday morning. We are having a very special time, we are so happy to have them.

So I will say that I hope to see you in the morning if all is well. Do your best to smile and be happy today.

I am not going to have to use the more from Dad this morning.

Sending Love to all of you....

BYE BYE DAD

Hi there Dad,
Nancy's post led me back to yours. I hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for reminding us that it doesn't cost to smile.

Gem :-)

A smile from me to you...

Hi Dad! Came over from Nancy's journal and just wanted to let you know, I really loved the smile idea. So I wrote a post passing on the idea, and put in a picture of my own.

Oh and the tomato links are wonderful. Made my mouth water lol

Sure am glad you are having special guests over again -- I'm sure that will make your day wonderful. Hope you're soon back up and running on DSL again...and good on ya for SMILING through it all! I'm learning that lesson, too, and it makes a BIG difference, doesn't it?

Best to you all, and big PURRS to the beautiful Princess. Some friends are moving to TN soon, and among their family members is a very handsome black longhaired male cat rescued from F.L.O.C.K. out in Pahrump, Nevada. You can read about this big rescue at http://www.bestfriends.org and click on any link about Nye County Cat Rescue or Pahrump or F.L.O.C.K.

I hope you got that router fixed. Marie is right. A lot of times we have to unplug everything pertaining to the computer and let set a few seconds and it will most likely reset itself. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't work. I hope you enjoyed your breakfast company. Helen
