So kewl! Glad he's moving to his new sump!
Isn't he Fisher's brother or something?

I hung with Tim Conway and Ernie Anderson in the Press Box of a Thoroughbred Race Track once. That was a fun day.
Vincent Price was the voice in Michael Jacksons Thriller. Also a well known actor in horror movies back in 50's-60's.

My mom loved the dog races. Horses are awesome.

Family, friends and great food! Doesn't get any better.
Pontoon is on it’s way to be put in the lake for the year.

I have never been on one. Looks fun.
delicata.

Thanks for the tip. I love squashes. Will try this one next time I see it.
We don't have a whole food or TJs near me. I got Ingles, food lion, or Walmart. Do you freeze them to save them longer? Just wondering if they freeze well.
We slice zucchini and yellow squash and seal it then freeze. Great in spaghetti that way.

no, I don't think they would freeze and taste good later. Walmart sometimes has them. nope, ingles and FL did not show they have them. Wallyworld sells the seeds though.
