MR. TIMOTHY "JOE" SPARKS.. AUGUST 10, 1922 - JANUARY 7th. 1990

 finally we are done with our kitchen.. and sorry the color isn't right.. the beige is lighter called Whispering Wheat, and the red is about the color of this font.. Candy Apple Red.. I ordered and added the QUOTE (and a very special quote, at that) as the last touch towards the kitchen.. Norman made the cabinet and the shelf and drawer underneath and the way he made it just "frames" the quote.. even though he didn't know that I ordered the quote until it was up! LOL
(I took all the pictures of the kitchen "back a couple of blog post" with my cell phone so the color isn't right by any means

 THANKS TO THE REAL NICE LADY ON FACEBOOK THAT GAVE ME A PET TAXI.. "ITS REALLY NICE, AND WE APPRECIATE IT" ... JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT OUR CAT MISSY HAS TOOK IT OVER.. (WITH ANIMALS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'LL NEED A PET TAXI OR CRATE) BUT I DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF MISSY TAKING OVER IT.. SHE'S ASLEEP IN IT RIGHT THIS MOMENT! LOL SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS AGAIN!
============================
READY FOR MORE RAIN? MAYBE IT WILL GET IT DONE AND OVER WITH FOR A WEEK OR SO.. WE WENT OVER TO THE GARDEN YESTERDAY EVENING AND PICKED QUITE A FEW REALLY BIG NICE GREEN PEPPERS AND ALSO MAYBE 10 OR SO TOMATOES.. DELICIOUS! EVERYTHING IS SOOO PRETTY AND GREEN AND GROWING TERRIFIC.. EVEN THE WEEDS! DON'T GET ME WRONG, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE WILD FLOWERS.. BUT THOSE WEEDS IN THE GARDEN.. UGGG! SHAME ON US!!!! THEN AS WE LOOK AROUND AT OTHER GARDENS, MANY HAVE LOTS OF WEEDS THIS YEAR! IT'S JUST RAINED SO MUCH!
BUT, STILL THE VEGGIES ARE WONDERFUL! WE GOT ENOUGH PEPPERS THAT WE ARE THINKING OF MAKING STUFFED PEPPERS TOMORROW FOR LUNCH! SOUNDS DELICIOUS, DON'T IT? YUM!!! WE HAVEN'T HAD THEM FOR A LONG TIME.. SO THEY SHOULD BE WONDERFUL (EVEN BETTER THAN IF YOU HAD THEM REAL OFTEN) RIGHT?


PRAYING FOR THE FAMILY OF THE LADY THAT LOST HER LIFE IN A CAR ACCIDENT, NOT FAR FROM WHERE WE LIVE.. GOD BLESS AND COMFORT PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
