I didn't have my lettuce covered because I was gone yesterday afternoon and it got dark soooo early. I had intended to cut some before it was ruined. I went out last night in the cold and cut some. I put the lettuce in the fridge and looked at it today. Mostly it is limp and dark and I will throw it out. I did notice that not all varieties were damaged the same. Mine is a mixture - a blend of leaf lettuce. Some of the green leaves were OK. I have kept lettuce through winter before. I didn't eat it and thought it would be bitter because it was left from summer. In the spring it grew and tasted good. I don't know what variety it was. By the way, I got my Margaret Roach book and my Lee Reich book and several Susan Wittig Albert herbal mysteries from Amazon today. I am not much of a reader but I think I will read a little this evening. My friend's sister reads the Susan Wittig Albert books after I am finished and passes them on to her church friend. I will have to read the mystery first because they wait on me. I got some Miss Julia books from them. For someone who doesn't read much I have a lot of books. I have read the preface to Margaret's book. I will read hers slowly and few pages a day because it is a more substantial book with ideas to think about.

I was just thinking about Donna a couple of weeks ago, wondering how she was doing. Glad to hear her absence from here is computer related instead of anything else. Hi, Donna. Can you see me waving at you from south east of you? Shirley

Yall really like it when we talk about our meetings and all the fun topics we hit on..we make it a habit not to talk much about the KT or the KTers Okay Glenda your turn to pop in and us line up a day...I am thinking Thursday...I think I am going to fix Chicken Pasta Salad as a main course...do you want warm, room temp or cold??? It tastes good any way...Maybe serve it on Romaine lettuce leaves, some watermelon, and roasted fresh asparagus. Did I fix the peanut butter pie last time???May fix that, it is Tony's favorite...or get Molly to cook chocolate chip cookies or maybe fruit muffins...Hurry & reply before I go through everything I know how to cook...LOL

I love to look through old cemeteries also. Here is a picture of one of the local cemetery landmarks in our area. No one knows for sure the store behind this dog being in the cemetery. It used to be stationed beside the walk at the library many, many years ago (in the 1800's, I think). There was another dog that way laying down on the other side..this figure has disappeared over the years. The dog pictured is reputed to have been put on the grave of a chile (four years old) by his grandfather who was devistated by his death. My kids love to come and visit the cemetery dog.
