The Kitchen Table

Cross your fingers for me!

And your toes and arms and legs and eyes!!! Elton John tickets go on sale tomorrow at noon and I want to get some! Can you believe he is actually coming to St. John's, Newfoundland? He is playing 2 shows on Oct 2 & 3. I will be on the phone calling like crazy hoping to get through and get 2 tickets. He and Sarah McLachlan are the only 2 artists I would pay any amount of money to see live in concert.

As soon as I finish typing I'll cross everything for you. I don't just hope you get tickets. I hope you get tickets with excellent seating.

Ruthie, I wish we were neighbors...those weeds would not stand a chance. I take direction real well and all you'd need was a chair in the shade and a bullhorn! :)) You'll be in my prayers and thoughts...good thoughts of not only tolerating the chemo well, but SAILING through it. BTW, I think the onions and garlic may be lonely without a few greens to go with them ;) Hang in there!

Crossing my fingers

As I recall, I had tomatoes ripening in late August, though I didn't sell any until I brought them to market on 9/4 (skipped last market day of August due to death in the family). It was a short season though due to late blight and also picking green tomatoes due to (false alarm) frost advisories a couple of times. I did have some ripen in the basement until mid-November, but most rotted (a lot infected with LB and others bacterial or fungal diseases that didn't show when they were green). I did manage to can quite a few, and frozen a couple gallon bags of slicers (mostly hybrids) and a gallon of cherry toms. I didn't see many tomatoes at market this summer - the guy up the road from me had Juliettes in late July or early Aug, and organic farm in Simsbury had Mountain Fresh at market starting in mid-Aug I think. The Juliettes were selling b/c they were early (relatively speaking), but the vendor who had Mountain Fresh and I weren't selling many in Sept, I don't know if people were just continuing to buy tomatoes at the grocery store, or if they'd found a local greenhouse source but nobody seemed to be excited about local field-grown tomatoes after Labor Day.

Sending good thoughts - that really is interesting. I have a friend who had to get her thyroid "zapped" (via a radioactive pill). She was told to take precautions for several days, including not sharing a bathroom if possible, washing her clothing separately from others, not sitting too close to others and sleeping alone. She was not in a relationship at the time, but her kitties did not like being banished from the bedroom. I hope your exposure was less! Funny think about the technician. When I had a regular ol' bone scan last year, the technician was a real chatty Cathy as well.

thanks,,we'll know in a few days if he's still in remission. this house was to be our forever home,,but now we can't finish it,let alone pay it off,,so we'll sell and move to a more modest farm. we're just praying that we get enough out of it to start over and go forward in good health into retirement. thanks for your good wishes!

Got all my digits crossed for you Casey. My daughter was a major E. J. fan and all her years in high school and college I had to listen to him. Got so that I could at least tolerate his music...I leaned more to John Denver. Sure hope you get those tickets.

I saw him a couple of times in the 70's when I was in high school -- quite the showman.

Good luck with the tix! All appendages are suitably crossed for you. ;)

Good luck! I'm crossing everything for you too. I know you have to be quick to get those tickets. They sell in a matter of minutes sometimes. At least they do in our area.
