I know it is Wednesday but I am at the beach with the GRANDs and niece and nephew.
They are still sleeping so of course I'm blogging.
Once they are awake I'm done for the day.
It will be all Fun and Sun!
(Not my favorite to much any more. You find me in the
shade under the hat and long sleeve shirt with a good book.)
I can not tell you how exciting it was to pick my first tomato of the season.
This is the first year we have had any luck growing tomatoes.
Why are they such a fussy plant?
But they are my favorite by far!
I can eat three of these tomatoes just cut up with salt and pepper as a meal.

Mmmm...fresh tomatoes from the garden are the best! And those black and white plates are stinkin' cute!
You know, of course, that Tauna is going to be extremely jealous (and so am I!!!) That's the best looking sandwich! Have fun with the little ones today.
When I was growing up in California, there was a nice elderly lady who made tomato and mayo sandwiches for the kids in the neighborhood. I loved them!
There are no words for the jealousy and bitterness I am feeling right now!!!
Gigi....you are such a tormenter. I have drool running down my mouth right now just reading the post.
I don't know why tomatoes are so fickle to grow . I'll probably be eating my first one in august if I get any at all before it freezes.
I still love you even though you are heartless.
Ha! I'm a Hellman's kinda girl. I love a tomato sandwich! They are the best.
Hey, if you get a chance, stop by my spot. I'd like you to critique the photo I have posted.
