on salmonella and tomatoes...


There is a huge outbreak of salmonella poisoning concerning tomatoes all across this country.  I had salmonella poisoning from peanut butter a couple of years ago and I got sick, sick, sick!!  I would advise anyone who likes to eat tomatoes to go to this page:

Weekly Sentence # 18 letters, what's up...


Good afternoon friends!  My sister Therese did show up yesterday.  She, her husband, and I had a two-hour visit.  It was so very nice.  She brought me some earrings that she made.  They are beautiful - silver with Swarovski Crystal beads!  What a sweetie!  Actually, I get along with all five of my siblings.   We all live in different states, so we don't visit one another too often.  It makes me sad.  I do get to see my sister Krissy, though.  She is only 20 minutes away from me, thank goodness.  Therese cut my hair.  It was getting way too long.  Actually, I hadn't cut it since I was bald from my brain surgery.  It  had grown a few inches past shoulder-length.   The weather has been so hot, so I told her to cut it above my shoulders.  I really like it!!  Enough of me, now on to the "Weekly Sentence"...

Time for six new letters, but first I would like to again congratulate Linda from

I started something new...


Hi guys!  Ugh, still sick here.  I'm feeling about the same as yesterday, no sicker, so I probably will start to feel better by tomorrow.  I wanted to let you all know that I have started another blog called "Joy in the Rain".  It is a place where I deposit jokes, quotes, poems and ditties.  I have always been a collector of these, so why not put them in a blog?  If anyone has any favorite quotes or jokes, I would love to have them!  I will give you credit!  Send them to valphish@aol.com.  Thanks!!  I hope you enjoy this new, happy place!!
