Sunday Ride Through The Countryside

Nothing really new to report for today. Being Sunday, everything is closed so we stayed home most of the day and relaxed and prepared for our move tomorrow. We did take about a hour drive through the countryside and saw several Amish homes where church services was being held. I have posted some new pictures that I took today. Go take a look.

Till later this week, stay safe! See ya down the road.

Saturday In Holmes County, OH

The best laid plans just don't always work out and our plans for going to several furniture stores on Saturday didn't come about. Instead we went to another flea market, had lunch in Berlin at Boyd & Wurthman Restaurant (very good food), went in search of a local produce stand in the country, drove more of the township roads. Made a stop at Wal-Mart in Millersburg (our bank - haha) and drove more country roads back to Walnut Creek from there. If we passed one Amish buggy, I bet we passed 100! Everyone seemed to be out and about today.

We made a last stop at Walnut Creek for some fresh cut meat and of course one last scoop of homemade custard. The flavor of the day was Strawberry - ummm good!

Today we are planning on doing nothing except relaxing and getting ready to leave this beautiful place tomorrow.

Dean and I both want to come back here as there is still so much we haven't done or seen. It is such a beautiful area that I could spend weeks here and not tire of it. If you haven't been through this area I highly recommend coming - you won't be sorry!

So, tomorrow we are off to another adventure. We will be renewing a old friendship with Jake and Nancy who we met in 2006 and haven't seen in a long while. What else we will be doing I'm not sure, time will tell.

Thanks to all who take the time to stop by and read our blog. We really hope you enjoy it.

See you next time.....

Sugarcreek Horse Auction

Rain, rain, go away, unfortunately it's here to stay! At least through tomorrow. But we didn't let it stop us from getting out today. It was Horse Auction Day in Sugarcreek and we were going.

The auction started at 11 am and we arrived around 11:30. Didn't see any horses so I asked what time they would bring on the horses and was told around 2 pm. The first thing they auction is a lot of misc. items pertaining to horses care, upkeep etc. We watched for a little while and decided to leave and come back later for the horses.

I had read about the Amish Door restaurant in Wilmont so decided it would be a nice drive there along with a place to have a bite to eat. The drive there didn't disappoint us and the rain actually held off for awhile. We drove through more farmland, past a lot of Amish furniture stores, and through the towns of Walnut Creek, Trail and Winesburg before arriving in Wilmont.

The first stop was to browse through the bakery at the Amish Door. Oh my gosh! They had so much good stuff, breads, cakes, cookies, sweet rolls, fry pies, pies and more! They sell something called cream sticks and they had mini-cream sticks. I figured I'd go back after we ate and get just a couple to try. Next we went to the restaurant where Dean had roast beef, mashed potato's and corn and a cup of the best ham and bean soup. I had the soup and salad bar. Trust me, the salad bar was a meal in itself!! Anyway, we were both full when we left and totally forgot to go back to the bakery - darn - just saved myself some calories - LOL!

We drove back to Sugarcreek and the horse auction in the pouring rain. I guess the skies held off as long as they could. The horses were being auctioned when we arrived but it had just started. I had never been to one and it was something I wanted to experience - don't ask why - I don't know, but just wanted to. They had everything from a miniature pony, to plow horses, to riding horses, to registered horses. What amazed me were the prices - we saw a couple of horses sell for $10 - $40 dollars! There were a few that went into the hundreds but they were the exception. I was talking with a lady behind me who lives in the area and owned a horse ranch. She said that her and her husband decided it was time to sell out because for the last 4-5 years the prices have been dropping fast. One horse that sold for around $600 she said would have brought anywhere from $1200 - 1800 just a few years ago. It's so sad how the downturn in the economy has hurt so much of the American lifestyle. I'm glad we didn't have our granddaughter, Morgan, with us. She would have been begging for us to buy her one of the $10 -$40 horses! She loves horses!

The actual horse auction lasted about one hour. I learned that the owner of the auction purchases a lot of the horses to either re-sell to individuals or to the factories. When I learned that I felt so sad! But, that is the way it goes......

We stopped back at Walnut Creek bulk store for some rolled butter. A friend was telling me about it awhile back and I decided to buy a small piece to try. I'll let you know what I think.

The rain started again after we got home so guess we are in for the rest of the day. The forecast doesn't look good for the rest of the night and tomorrow so we are scraping the plans for the canal boat ride. I think we are going to go to some of the furniture stores and maybe another flea market.

Pictures are posted on Picasa.... Till next time................

Back To The 50's

Yesterday we decided to drive to New Philadelphia to a restaurant called Hot Rod Restaurant and Museum for lunch. Finding it was no easy task as our GPS didn't list it and the roads here are not marked well. We were successful though.

I had a really great cheeseburger with home made potato chips and Dean had lasagna which he said was great!

The restaurant is a step back in time to the 50's and how gas stations looked back then. It was filled with lots of memorabilia and several old "hot rods". I took pictures and will get them posted at Picasa soon.

Would we go there again? Probably not. It wasn't that it was bad food, it wasn't, just not someplace that left a "we must return again" feeling. No regrets for going though.

We found some country roads to return to Sugar Creek and then back to the highway to Walnut Creek. We wanted to stop at the Walnut Creek bulk food store again. Dean got some dried potato soup that he had last night and said it was really good. Me, I opted for some home made butter pecan custard - yummy!! Any wonder why I can't lose weight?

We also made a stop at the (correction) Walnut Creek flea market but were very disappointed. It was mostly the same junk you see at any flea market across the USA. Very little in the way of local crafts etc.

We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. There are now three horses in the field and of course, they came right up to the fence when we returned, looking for carrots. Yep, they got some!

Not sure what we are doing today. It has been raining since around 5am, though, the skies look like it may start to clear. We had talked about going to a horse auction this morning and I still haven't been to any shops in Berlin. Oh my, there is so much I still would like to do and now so little time left. Guess we will just have to plan a return to this area again.

What every you do today, have fun and stay safe - we sure will give it our best shot!

Amish Auction Day & Lehman's Hardware

We got a early start this morning to head to Kidron, OH to Lehman's Hardware. I've heard about it from several sources and knew that it was a must see for us. On the way, we decided to stop in Mt. Hope at Mrs. Yoders restaurant for breakfast. What a good choice we made.

We both had the breakfast buffet that had lots of choices from eggs, sausage, bacon, ham, potato's, pancakes, french toast, potato cakes, sausage gravy, a variety of sweet rolls including the best cinnamon rolls, fruit and other items to numerous to mention. That was our meal for the day and it was delicious.

When we arrived in Mt. Hope we noticed a lot of activity going on, especially Amish milling about and arriving by buggies. I asked what was happening and found out it was Mt. Hope auction day - a big day for the Amish/Mennonite farmers for getting more cattle, horses etc. or selling off some extras. They also have a flea market with lots of produce available. After breakfast we decided to walk over and check it out. A lot of the vendors were your typical flea market vendors but there were some Mennonite/Amish vendors with their crafts and produce. We didn't take time to go to the actual auction but would love to sometime.

The drive to Lehman's Hardware in Kidron was nice. Typical Amish farmland with rolling hills, crop fields, flower gardens and buggies everywhere! I love this and really respect their lifestyle. How peaceful it must be but also lots of hard work, more so than I would want to do!

Lehman's is huge. There is so much to see and you not only need to look on the shelves and around but up as well. There are a lot of old antiques up on the rafters that would be easy to miss. Here again - anything you could want in a kitchen, they have +. We walked and walked until my leg finally gave out and I found a bench to sit for awhile. Then we walked some more. Tools, lawn & garden supplies, oil lamps and parts, gas lamps, electric lamps, books, kitchen appliances, and more stuff. To much to list here. It was fun looking but the only things we bought was a bottle of diet coke and a bottle of lemonade! I just don't want all that "stuff" anymore.

On the drive home we passed a cemetery with a different mausoleum. I posted a picture on Picasa. We also saw a deer farm - this is something that the Amish are venturing into now. We stopped at Troyers Country Market and decided we liked Walnut Creek market better and will go back there. We also made a stop at Kauffman's Country Bakery where I found some maple iced cinnamon rolls - yummy! Will have one for breakfast in the morning.

That was our day today. What will tomorrow bring? Check back and see....

Day Trip To Coshocton

This morning Dean tells me that he has a prescription that he needs refilled by Thursday - nothing like last minute notice! So, I checked online for a Wal-Mart and saw that there was one in Coshocton. I was wanting to take a day trip there to go to Roscoe Village so figured as the old saying goes "kill two birds with one stone".

We took all back country road there and saw some beautiful countryside. The Amish here appear to be doing well as their homes are beautiful! A lot of them are not the normal farm house but much more modern looking and large. But then they have large families and need the space.

We drove through little towns such as Charm, and New Bedford, drove past the Chalet in the Valley and the Guggisberg Cheese Factory and Inn. We passed several Amish schools, some with kids there and others that were empty. There were a few places along this drive that we will go back to and I'll expand more on them later.

We had gone about half way when Dean discovered that he had left his medicine bottle on the table in the motorhome, soooo - finding a wide spot in the road - we made a U-turn and back we went. Neat though cause we got to see the same things three times - LOL.

We finally made it to the Wal-Mart in Coshocton and turned his prescription in with orders from me to call if there was a problem filling it. We've encountered problems this year with Wal-Mart and filling prescriptions.

Next stop was Roscoe Village which was a actual town along the Ohio/Erie canal - a canal town. We strolled through the main street looking in a few of the stores but mostly admiring the old buildings and construction. While there I got a call from Wal-Mart that they could not fill the prescription - go figure!!! So back to Wal-Mart we go to get the bottle. I think we are going to try to find a CVS and see about getting the prescription transferred.

Anyway, by this time we decided to just stop for a burger since we had a big breakfast at home before we left. We then came back toward Berlin by way of one of Ohio's "scenic routes", Hwy 93. Well, I'm not sure why it is designated as scenic. The back road we took in the morning were much more so. It did take us through more small towns (Baltic, Sugar Creek & Walnut Creek)and past more cheese factories. In Walnut Creek we stopped at Walnut Creek Cheese store. What a store - lots of produce, fresh cut meat, a great deli, home made ice cream (we had black-raspberry), bulk foods and more. Then the other end of the building was a store that sold everything and anything you could want in your kitchen plus more! It was fun exploring this store and we will probably go back for some of the dry mixes they sell.

Our next stop was home. It was a fun day except for the Wal-Mart part. We sat outside and enjoyed the the fresh breezes and the two horses that are pastured right across from where we are parked. I had picked up a package of carrots and they got a treat this evening (of course I got permission first). Now I wonder if they will remember tomorrow evening that I had treats for them. We'll see...

That about wraps up our first full day in Amish Country - Ohio. I will have pictures posted at Picasa tonight. What is in store for tomorrow - not sure so come on back....

We Are In Berlin (Ohio that is)

We traveled about 130 miles today with just over half of it on US 62 out of Columbus, OH. It wasn't bad road, just curvy and hilly and narrow. I was driving and would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't woke up with a headache. Some of the scenery was really pretty, you could see over the farm land for miles. I didn't realize that this part of Ohio was as hilly as it is.

Backing up to yesterday - Tab and Deanna came to visit us at 1000 Trails in Wilmington. We had a really nice visit with them and it was really great seeing them again. They have gone from full time to part time rv'ing. It seems to suit them though, as they said, they have the best of both worlds. One of the things that keeps them off the road full time is medical insurance. Something really does need to be done to make health insurance affordable to all, just not the plan before congress right now. Anyway, when they left, we followed them to Yellow Springs and Young's Dairy for ice cream. Oh yummmy! I had a raspberry milkshake and it was good. We bid them farewell with promises of keeping in touch and trying to see them again sometime soon.

Back to today - we are parked at Scenic Hills RV Park on top of a hill looking out over pasture with horses and a view that goes quite a long way. Thanks to Terry and Dale for recommending this park to us. I will be taking pictures in the next day or so and posting them on Picasa.

We have picked up the "tourist" brochures and need to sit down and decide what we want to do while here. One thing I would like to do is go to Coshocton and do the canal boat ride. We also purchased a "backroads" Holmes county map so we can ride a lot of the county/township roads that take you back to the true Amish country. Driving through Berlin there were so many shops but I'm really not much of a shopper any more so don't know if we'll do much of that. There are also a couple of restaurants we would like to try while in the area. We have a week, so hopefully we will be able to accomplish one or two of these items!

Check back here in a day or so for updates. I'll try to post in the evening after we have exhausted ourselves doing whatever! Later.....

A Week In S. Ohio

I can not believe that we have been in Wilmington, Ohio for almost a week already and that tomorrow we are off on another part of our adventure. We really didn't do a lot this week except enjoy the 1000 Trails park. This has been one of the most restful places. No commercial noise, just nature. Well, there were a couple of aircraft fly overhead that I'm sure were from Wright-Patterson, but it only happened a few times. Other than that, no highway noise, no siren's, just the soothing sounds of nature - ahhh, I have needed this time to get my thoughts and feelings back in order.

We did find a wonderful restaurant in the area that we visited twice. The name is Der Dutchman and it seems that it is very well known by anyone who has lived in or visited this area. Both times we opted for the buffet and were not disappointed. Very, very good food and plenty of variety. The soup and salad bar alone is enough to fill you!

One day we drove to Caesar Lake State Park campground to check it out only to find out that they only offered 20 amp. Because of that, we didn't pursue it any further besides they wanted a "auto fee" for us to drive into the campground area to look. Since our park is only about 10 miles away we decided to pass. We did find another state park, Cowan Lake, outside Wilmington that had 50 amp and allowed us to drive through. A very nice state park, but, the sites were only about 30 feet long and were not level. This really surprised us because the area that we focused on was not heavily wooded or hilly. It was just the way they installed the sites, all at a uphill slant! Oh well, here again, our park was only about 10 miles away so we decided that we were very happy with what we have... Yes, I've been remiss about taking any pictures from here but will try to do so today!

Saturday we took off for a drive in the country. Our first stop was at a flea market that we had passed a couple of times during the week. This was one huge flea market! There is a "outside" covered area that was very big, but then behind it were about 8 buildings that had "indoor" vendors. Needless to say, we didn't cover the whole thing but did enough to be able to say they had it all!

Leaving the flea market we took Ohio 380 to Zenia where there was a street fair going on. Unfortunately it decided to rain about the time we arrived so we continued on our way. The next little town was Yellow Springs. This looked like a artsy town with lots of little shops and cafes. Again, mother nature decided to let go of some rain, so we didn't stop. Next was Clifton. We had turned off the highway and took a smaller country road to get there. About a mile into the drive I noticed about 8 to 10 deer by the side of the road. There was no traffic, so I stopped. That's what they were waiting for and proceeded to cross the road. I grabbed my camera and managed to get one good picture before they disappeared into a crop field. It was several Mom's and their babies - how cute!

We found Clifton Mill even though the way we arrived there were no signs. This mill was established in the early 1800's. and is claimed to be the world's largest water powered grist mill. It is still in operation. It was a interesting walk around the grounds. It was obvious that they hold a big event over the Christmas holidays, as Christmas lights were still strung everywhere and I do mean everywhere! To me, this detracted from the beauty to be found in the old buildings and covered bridge. You can see the lights, especially in the picture of the covered bridge. Hah - the wonder of the internet - I did a search and yes they do light up at Christmas. From what I read, a spectacular light display of 3.5 million lights! I guess that is why they leave them on the buildings year round! It would take a year to hang that many - lol.

Heading back home we took Ohio 72 through Cedarville. I was surprised to see a University there and after driving through town, decided the town was there because of the university! Not really but I think it encompassed at least 2/3 of the town. It is Cedarville University, a Baptist university of arts, sciences, professional, and graduate programs. It is home to 3,000 students! I had never heard of it before but was very impressed by what I saw while driving through town and the campus. Their mission statement is "Cedarville University is a Christ-centered learning community equipping students for lifelong leadership and service through an education marked by excellence and grounded in biblical truth. " I like that!

One other building we did see in Cedarville was the Cedarville Opera House. It appeared to be under renovation. I looked up some history about it on the internet and found that the original was destroyed by fire but was rebuilt and finished in 1888. It is a 1/3 scale replication of the Royal Albert Hall in London, England. It's interesting what you find in these small towns in America!

So, our days drive in the country was a very pleasant one and we are looking forward to more as we move into the Amish area on Monday.

There are a few pictures posted at Picasa.

Today, our friends from the Fulltiming Class of '05, Tab and Deanna are coming to visit. We are looking forward to renewing this friendship as it has been several years since we've seen them. It should be a very nice day with temps in the low to mid 70's and clearing skies.

See you next week....

We Are In Ohio

Last night we stayed just outside Lexington, KY at the Kentucky Horse Park Campground. I know several where hoping for pictures but sorry, I didn't take any. It was just a overnight stay and I was tired and didn't even venture outside. There is much more to this park than the campground though and if we get back this way, we will program a couple of days here. This is a race track and museum on the grounds. If I remember right the races are held in April and October. There are also many beautiful ranches in the area with a lot of horses. We passed some "mansions" this morning on our way to Ohio and if I hadn't been driving I would have tried to get some pictures. The one thing I am curious about is why the double fencing? The only thing I can figure is it is one way to move the horses from one field to another. Does anyone have the answer?

We arrived in Wilmington, Ohio at the 1000 Trials park early afternoon. After un-hitching the car we drove around and found a site that is shaded but with a view of the south west sky for the dish - yea! We got parked and electric on just in time - the rain began. It has been off and on all afternoon. Mostly showers with a little thunder. They are calling for more rain tomorrow, I think like 80% - uck!

I don't know what we will do, if much while here. We are planning on getting together with Tab and Deanna one day, not sure yet when.

This looks like a nice park to relax and enjoy whatever activities they may have. We have been in this area before so I doubt that we do much sightseeing.

There is one thing I forgot to mention. When we were getting close to Lexington, we drove through Versailles, KY and saw a castle - yep, a real castle! I did a little internet research and found that although originally built by a couple, the construction came to a halt when they divorced. It had sat in unfinished condition for many, many years, had burned in a fire and was rebuilt. It is know now as the Castle Post and is a upscale luxury hotel. You can find more info at www.thecastlepost.com

I stopped and took a picture from the highway but unfortunately there were a lot of power lines so it's not the best of pictures but you get the idea. I've posted it at Picasa as it seems that I can't get it loaded here.

Our General Jackson Cruise - Nashville

We opted to do the General Jackson Cruise instead of going to the Grand Ole Opry this trip to Nashville. We've been to the Opry a couple of times but have never done the cruise, so it won.

We left the campground a little early not knowing for sure how long it would take to get to the boat. Found out it is docked right behind Opry Mill, the shopping mall that replaced Opryland Theme Park. What a shame that the theme park is gone. I think it was a much nicer thing to do for tourist than going to a mall. Anyway, we picked up our tickets and found a bench to sit on while waiting. After a short while they announced that they were offering a pilot house tour (extra cost) and it would board ahead of everyone else. OK, I'm in for that! The pilot house tour was interesting and full of really modern equipment. The captain was very informative telling us how the boat was built, it's size and all about the equipment that has taken place of the old fashion charts. What did we ever do without GPS? The captain explained how GPS is used, not only on the river here but on ocean going vessels as well.

The lunch was I'll say good but not excellent. It is served family style at round tables that sit 8 people. We had 7 at our table. Started with a mixed green salad and your choice of two dressings. The main course was ham and smashed taters, and chicken and green beans. Biscuits were served also along with tea and coffee. Dessert was strawberry shortcake. I've had better!!! The ham and smashed taters were the best of it all. The problem is they bring out enough for maybe 4 people, not 8 so of course we all took very small portions and then had to wait while our waiter brought more. I guess the focus isn't on the food.

Shortly after eating the show began. Tim Watson was the headline along with his band. He is a fiddle player and was very, very good on the fiddle. Of course there was some comedy thrown in along with the music. Dean and I both enjoyed the show very much!

We had thought about going to the mall, but decided to just come on back home. I was so sleepy, not sure why, and didn't feel like doing a lot of walking. So, the rest of the day we have spent relaxing and planning routes etc.

We leave tomorrow heading to Ohio with a overnight stop in Kentucky.

Come on back in a day or so and see what's new..... Pictures are posted at Picasa.

Day One - Nashville

Oh it was sooo good to sleep in this morning - NOT! We are staying at Nashville Country RV Park in Goodlettsville and even though when you get off the interstate you go 1.5 mi to the campground, the road actually runs parallel to the interstate so you hear the traffic in the evenings and night. The campground is OK, but the site we are in is not one of the better ones. Right along the highway that runs by the campground. Oh well, I can tolerate anything for a few nights.


Yesterday we made our "must visit" to the local Wally World to get Dean a couple of shirts. He has lost enough weight that his XL shirts were hanging on him and looked really bad and made him look worse.


This morning he took off to the laundromat to get them washed along with some new t-shirts so he could start wearing clothes that fit him. Dang! I wish I had to buy new clothes because mine where hanging on me, not fair - he goes down while I go up - LOL!!!


We decided to head out to the Loveless Cafe and Motel. I didn't look it up on the map so wasn't sure just where we were headed but off we went because it was listed as a "don't miss" while in Nashville.
The Loveless Cafe/Motel............................

I don't think it is actually located in Nashville. It is on the southwest end of town on Highway 100. After getting off the interstates, the drive wasn't so bad. When we turned onto Highway 100, I told Dean that we had been on this road before with our friends Brent and Jackie. I didn't drive it, Brent did, but it was oh so familiar. Anyway, we rounded a curve and there it was - the Loveless Cafe. The parking lot was full and it was almost 2 pm when we arrived. We figured we were in for a wait but to our surprise it was only about 5 min. It was worth it, no matter how long we would have waited!!! It is a "do not miss" when in the Nashville area. They are known best for their biscuits and fried chicken, but today Dean opted for the smoked pork chops and I had the meatloaf. Of course it was served with biscuits and homemade jams -ohh so good!! Our meal was wonderful so we decided to press our luck and ordered desert. I had their version of coconut custard pie and Dean had strawberry/rhubarb pie. Yummmy.....

As we were walking back to the car or should I say waddling, the phone rang and I said to Dean that I wish it would be Jackie. I had called and left a message for her and sent her a email but had no response back to either and I was afraid that she had gone out of town. Well, I didn't recognize the number but answered anyway and guess what - it was Jackie!!! Wish answered.

Since we were only about 20 miles from Fairview where she lives we went to her house to visit.

Much to my surprise, she has a new house! Prior to Brent's death ( her husband) in Nov. 07 they had discussed about adding on to their house or building a new one and had decided to go with the new one but he died before they could begin. Last year she followed through and now lives about 500 feet from the old house in her brand new one. Her daughter and son-in-law have moved into the old house which is good since she will have family close by.

Gosh it was so good seeing her. She is my adopted sister, I just love her so much! We had a short but wonderful visit with her, catching up with each other's lives. I hope it isn't as long between visits this time and we have promised to keep closer in touch with each other.





So that was our day. We are now back home listening to live music here at the campground. We are sitting inside where we are bug free! The stage is just a few hundred feed from where we are parked so we have ring side seats.

I have posted a few pictures at Picasa.

I think we are going to do the General Jackson steamboat on Saturday. So ya'll come on back and see what we think of it. Till then....

Back On The Road Tomorrow!!

Yes, you read that right, we leave Red Bay tomorrow. I can't believe it. Here I was prepared for no less than a week sitting here waiting and this morning we got the call for the Express Bay and in we went! Everything was done and we were back in our spot by 2 pm. Just in time for a bad thunderstorm.

Anyway, now we have almost two weeks to kill before our reservation in Ohio so we decided to stop in Nashville for a few nights. We have a friend there that we haven't seen since her husband died in 2007 and I really miss her. Who knows, we may even go to the Opry!

So off we go, on the road again and it sure does feel good!

After Nashville we'll see. Check back to see where we head.

We Made It North - Red Bay, AL That Is!

After a week and a half in Montgomery getting a few things done, we left yesterday morning for the easy drive to Red Bay, AL and the Allegro Campground. Wow - so many motorhomes! And can you imagine - they are all Tiffin products - lol.

This morning we attended church in town and had a delicious "church" meal. First United Methodist Church here in Red Bay holds a 2nd Sunday supper after church and guess what - today was the 2nd Sunday! For $6 pp we had pulled pork that was delicious, corn casserole, cole slaw, baked beans, roll, dessert (I had pina colada cake), and drink. I wondered what I was going to do for dinner today, thanks First UMC!!!

I just got back from the office where I was turning in our paperwork and list. Now the wait begins. With any luck we will not be much over a week. Fingers are crossed - double!!

It's so hot here and those of you that have been here know that the "campground" is concrete and reflects the heat very well. Because of this no one is out milling around. Every now and then I see a person walking their pooch, I'm sure it was a necessity. Last evening wasn't much better, very few people out. We did have a produce truck come through and I bought two tomato's. Gosh, I hope they are good. I'm so hungry for a GOOD tomato!

So, there you have it. We are sitting, beginning our wait. At this time nothing else to report.

I'll be back when I have more news...hopefully good!
