Thanks for asking.

Cut 17 lbs. and have 5 more to go for tomato juice. Next for sauce will do 36 lbs. of tomatoes for 7 qts. of sauce. Think I might start dreaming of tomatoes. But the joy in the middle of winter will be delightful. I just love fresh or nearly fresh food. Going to a Farmer's mkt. on Sat. to see what else can be put on the shelf.

Tonight we watched Second Hand Lions". Such a great movie - the right actors with a great script

That movie is one I would show to every male child and their father. What great performances - down to the man who plays the Sheriff. So believable and fun.

I'm going to bring "The Wind and the Lion" in next. Similar feel, energy, and celebration of the relation between men, and little boys. Such joy, such joy is so great.

Back to the mundane. Went out and cleaned up the broccoli - maybe we get a little more. Got some more Brussel sprouts. Will take care of them in the morning.

Hip hip hooray. Have a new, good freezer! The side by side is great. But it was getting overloaded. For Pete's sake, the green peppers alone - the way they're going - would fill the freezer.

New chest freezer can easily handle all and keep it cold enough. So we're okay - as long as we don't lose power! Which does happen here, too often.

How's the world treating you and the family?

Hope you're doing well.
