Tomatoes are coming!

  

Tomatoes are getting close!  We have about 500 acres of tomatoes growing right now and the fields are really beautiful. I just had to take a few pictures today to share with you all. 

I still love my job.  I am not having much trouble learning the ropes and do not need to ask too many questions.  Tomorrow is the big day. . .Sunday bulletins!  It is a big deal.  They are done on large paper, two-sided with a tri-fold.  We have to run 1,200 of them.  It's not a hard job, just time consuming and they have to be   perfect. . .or else! (what? they'll chop my bumbling fingers off?)  Tomorrow night is also our Mother/Daughter Banquet at the church and my Katie and I are the special music.  We are singing 3 songs together and I asked (Katie's) Matt to sing a song with me and so there will be a total of 4 songs.  I will have someone take a picture of us to share with all my j-land friends.

Friday afternoon I am leaving to go on our Spring Breakaway.  The ladies of the church are going to the DoubleTree in Tampa, right on the bay, for an overnight get a way.  I have been looking forward to this for months!  We are going out to dinner at a nice seafood restaurant (Landry's) and then . . .??? . . .I'm really not sure what's on the agenda...I don't really care, as long as it's fun.

So, that's the rest of my week!  Busy!  I hope you all have fun things planned too.  

 I feel the need to give a great big shout-out to my j-land friend Jackie whose hubby Brad is coming home on Sunday from Iraq!  I am so happy for you guys!  Let's just hope that your baby boy hangs on for a few more days!

Bye for now.

There's nothing better than a tomato with a dash of salt sprinkled on it! ;) Your tomato crop looks gorgeous, can you send me a few?  Good luck with the bulletins, I'm sure you'll do them perfectly!
