Eldersis and I had a busy day together yesterday. Her nephew brought fresh vegetables from a garden that he helps to grow. There were Forhook lima beans, okra, tomatoes (oh, beautiful tomatoes), cucumbers, cantalope, and a peck basket of corn. The corn had to be shucked and cleaned; there was so much of it that we decided to take the best ears for boiling and make creamed corn from the rest. Everyone knows the mess that makes, we stood over the sink and tried to keep the spatter from her kitchen. The work was well worth the effort.

Everyone must be busy with vacations and summer things that need to be done. I've tried to read the board, but confess that I can't sit here much longer. The leaning over the sink really has made my back hurt.

I'm putting a Key Lime pie out on the counter, come by and help yourself. The usual beverages are available. lottie77

You and Eldersis sure were being domestic today. You all will enjoy that corn as soon as winter sets in again. My sister in law cuts corn off the cob and add lots of butter to it and some salt and cooks it for a certain amount of time in the microwave and then freezes it this way. It is delicious straight from freezer to stove, to table. Yummy
