Friend,

That looks marvelous! I have noticed in recent months that you are no longer on the low carbohydrate diet. When and why the change? We continue to be up to our elbows in some of the best tomatoes I have ever had. What a fantastic tomato season this one is turning out to be! One of the cousins also got me a treat from my childhood, and in the flavor I like. She must have been listening the other night when I was telling her about my first sip of this mountain blackberry while on top of Mt. Mitchell, my first 6000' ascent. I was seven.

For dinner, you guessed it. Another several tomato sandwiches. I am really enjoying the Caprese tomato sandwich, and made two tonight.







Yours,

Let us pray:

God,
Wanton, wayward, wandering creatures we are,
Rarely satisfied with the gifts you give,
We come seeking your forgiveness and grace.
We need your Kingdom, Lord, that perfect kingdom.
You have told us we must first seek it.
Help us to seek it with courage and humility.
Your Kingdom is so wonderful, so glorious.
It starts as but a tiny seed, as tiny as our eye sees.
Yet grows through us, your beloved servants,
Into the greatest of all fortresses,
The grandest home, where you call even the least,
To have a seat at your table and feast.
Bless us in our faith and journeys and food.
Through Christ, who lives and reigns with you,
The true triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Friend,

Are those LeSueurs?

Yours,

Do you actually eat all that

Was supposed to have a chili dog but the neighborhood kids ate me out of house and home

Ruffino’s on the River - This was a special and I don’t remember all of the descriptors, but the pork chop was tender and flavorful and perfect. Tomato butter on top with a couple of kinds of onions. The Brussels sprouts were really crispy and delicious. The shrimp were nice, but unnecessary. I would’ve preferred more Brussels sprouts!



There were appetizers of pork cheeks and scallops (not together), but I forgot to take pics. It was my first time there in years and I was happy with my dinner.
