    We periodically had a mocking bird in San Jose way back when. I LOVED IT, except when it was in the wee hours of the night/morning and it wouldn't shut up.

    It was a very very quick MOHs. About 40 min. I had brought some office work, and barely made a dent in it when Hubs came out. MOHs surgeon said to cancel the plastic surgery, cus this will heal on its own, from the inside out. Thanks for the prayers and well wishes!!

    There is talk of downward pressure on pork prices. Since we're not shipping as much to China all of a sudden. If so, I'll quickly use alot of what I've got frozen, and then restock. Don't know about beef prices tho, if they will be lowering.

    Hubs got his first shot in his eye. 1 hour and 20 min of everyone but the Dr. Then it took 2 seconds for the shot. We go back in a month for another one.

    What's for dinner?

    I found some center cut boneless loin chops on clearance for $4. Cut those three things in half, flat wise, then dipped in flour, egg and instant mashed potatoes. Fried up with onions and yellow bells. Used an old jar of turkey gravy, served over real mashed potatoes. YUMMY!!

    What did you do in your garden today?

    Our soil isn't warm enough for outside planting. I'm assuming that your green beans are in flats in a greenhouse.
