My hubby is so proud of his little garden we planted in the back yard. We also have a larger garden at my parent's house. This was the first year we planted vegetables in our yard. We just planted tomatoes and cucumbers. Mother and I canned 15 quarts of pickles in earlier July. But the tomatoes at our house did so much better most are at least one pound. Although, this one grew to be two pounds. Here are some pictures of it. See how the slice of bread is smaller than the tomato.

I just wanted to continue to thank all family and friends for all their prayers. Our son Kenny is just doing so very well. I am so thankful for what OUR LOVING SAVIOR did for him. You know we have always been told Kenny had an enlarge heart and a valve problem. The fact was our son had a massive right atrium. Some day if you have time I would love to show you the ex-rays you would just be amazed. We even heard the doctors say they thought the results of his surgery was just fantastic. The fact is the child had a weight lifted off his chest. One he felt was normal. I could tell a difference in the size of the child's chest immediately after the surgery. He was told he would have more energy and be able to eat better (yes gain weight). The tricuspid valve that needed corrected was repaired which many times when having surgery on a valve it ends up be replaced with mechanical or etc. Continue praying for his recovery that his body will heal completely.
My hubby is doing much better. He is really ready to get back to normal. The cast he is so ready to get rid of, but he have to wear it for at least two more weeks. He is still on light duty at work. Yes, these last two months have really been overwhelming. A church sign I read today read--- Life is an uphill battle climb it on your knees.

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through CHRIST which strengtheneth me.

Do you enjoy garden vegetables????

I just love eating garden food this time of the year. I made a casserole this week with chicken and squash recipes consist cream chicken soup, sour cream and cheese.
I put fresh tomatoes in my spaghetti last night for dinner.

This is a new one probably one most have not tried.
Slice the following vegetables squash, tomato, cucumber and onion and fry in butter and garlic powder. I tell you what else is good is zucchini...which you could use instead or cucumber or both. We are having this tonight with dinner.

Today is our youngest son Jonathan birthday. He is nine years old today.

Mom surprised us for breakfast and we had ICECREAM with sprinkles, cheerios and bananas.

We are home finally. Oh!! how glad we all are to be home. We thought we will never get out of MN yesterday. There was a storm and we sat on the run way for almost an hour before we left. Just quiet tired today would rather do nothing all day, but I am sure that will not be the case. Now, just to try and get life back to normal as possible. Kenny, is doing well today just been a little discomfort. He is a very strong child. Continue praying for the healing process he have to be extra careful for the next five weeks.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for all your prayers. Our son Kenny is doing wonderful. The surgery was very, very successful. The valve was repaired and the right atrium was reduced. The staff here is just so wonderful. He is doing very well he was moved out of ICU in less than 24 hours after surgery. He is in patient care unit now. He is doing so well. He has been walking a little today and eating a little. He is heading for a good recovery and the time here should be less than what we thought.

One Pure and Holy Passion
