I received an e-mail from my brother in Colorado that they will be coming in to visit this weekend, and staying for a while.  His daughters are 14 & 16 and NEVER shut up-they just yap and yap and yap-So, I call them the "Yappers".  In case you haven't noticed, I give just about everything a nickname (my son's 2 dogs were the "dammits"-Dammit no, dammit stop, dammit get down, etc.), my son and 2 nephews are the "chick magnets",  I have a bird house nicknamed the bird church (I got it at the church benefit-it has a cross on top), my neices are the "Yappers", there is a certain group of people that visit at my friend's house who lives on the river that I call the "boat people".  Ya gotta have fun with names, don't you think?  If I give you a nickname, it means I like ya! 

Anyway-I PiCKED MY FIRST TOMATO YESTERDAY!!  It was a small one, but perfectly round and perfectly red.  It was hidden deep in the bush, I almost didn't see it.  Picking one or two cucumbers a day, now-But my zuccinni!! Starting to get blossom end rot!  How should I add calcium?  I will need a fast acting type, so lime won't do.  Crush up some of my calcium pills???? I can do that!  Guess I need to go to the garden center. 

Lunch today-Smothered okra and shrimp from the seafood shop on the corner, and fresh cucumber salad! :)
