Ready for some FALL temps Y'ALL

Ready for Fall 2020 

We are enjoying the nice cool weather as Fall began on Sept 22.  I stopped at Jaemor Farms Market at Banks Crossing and picked up some mini-baseball pumpkins and other gourds. Also bought a "Knucklehead" pumpkin (with warts) for the first time.

Congratulations on  17 years of marriage!  
You two are perfect for each other in every way. 
And thanks for giving us 7 wonderful grands !
Oh yeah, I still remember the $70 phone call that one Christmas break  when we found out after the bill arrived 
that you two were "dating long distance"   
Wonderful memory now HA HA
