First, you walk down isle 2
for the lettuce

then go to isle 5 for the tomatoes

reach across for the onions

run to the far end
for the cucumbers

grabbing some snow peas along the way

Praise God for the blessings of good crop this year.
We thank you for this food.

I am a meat and potatoes kinda guy.

thanks ya'll

I can look at the cows in my back yard and that makes me cringe at steak but then I just forget it and slap a few ribeyes on the grill!

We got potatoes too...just wonder if I gotta dig em up this year again

ps..lol @ CG`s remark!

I went through that same squeamishness until I realized God put these things here to feed us, His youngest creation He loves so much.

Then I felt better... haha

Yo Passing shadows,

Seeing that stuff in its natural habitat will give me nightmares.

I’ll stick to the city.

Love Bobby

If that's your hand in there
picking out the foodstuff,
then I'm very proud of where you've been
what you've been through
and where you decided to reside.

I couldn't help but think of our Marge on this'n. I even imagined her consternation of

as I made my predictable bad joke about the cucumbers...

We are a family in that way, yanno.

Thanks, Dixie.
