There Go The Peppers

Mom planted her peppers outside the other day. The next time she looked all that was left was a couple of stubs. Something had eaten all the leaves off the plants.

It wasn't me and it wasn't Skeeter. It was probably one of those big grasshopper Mom keeps catching.

Mom and Dad decided to update some of the house. They started looking at lights for the kitchen. Today they went to a lighting place and when they came out the truck had died. I mean DEAD. The store was nice enough to send one of their guys out with their truck and give us a jump start. We pulled into a repair place and they were doing NO business. They were happy to see us and we were happy they had a new battery for us.

We still have one pineapple left. The grasshoppers better stay away from that.

It is too late to start more peppers. Maybe the store has some. Mom will check.

Today's quote is by Irma Bombeck.

" When you're an orthodox worrier, some days are worse than others."
