The Invasion of the Green-Tongued Chickies!

Gracie and Avey...green-tongued chickies!

Ok, invasion is not a really good term...it was actually a much anticipated visit from our youngest grandchildren as they were on their way back to Texas.  We actually allowed their parents to visit also.  It was short, but was packed with lots of "Mimi and PapaJim" things.

One of the things they did was to ride in the tractor with PJ...I, unfortunately, was tied up with fixing some meal or another and didn't get pics.  Shanna did, though, so maybe she'll send me some.  The other thing was eating watermelon flavored popsicles...you know, those that leave an obnoxious color on your lips, tongue and teeth? 

Shanna, two-fisted s'more eater!

Adam, serious fire-cooker!
It was a short visit, but we all had fun around the fire making s'mores.  I think Shanna particularly enjoyed them!

Today JR and I put up peas...13 quarts of Lady Peas, and 12 quarts of limas.  So you won't think that we did this as speed demons, I should let you know that we bought them already shelled...a much easier and less stressful proposition.  After we did the arithmetic, we figured that we saved $75 off the usual price of 25 quarts of peas, and we will have fresh peas all winter!

This weekend we will be working in a community bazaar.  If I remember to take my camera, I'll send you some pics.  Love to all.
