Good night everyone! Pray for me tomorrow and Tuesday as I can't have my coffee until after I get the stress test done on my heart both those days so I will have to attempt to be a functioning adult with no caffine... It might be a really bad situation and I might need bail money. 😆
 
Wife starting a new job this week, Been a few years since she worked (by choice) But she has been itching to get out of the house. She is the new Chattahoochee county High school and the elementary school Cafeteria Manager (her line of work) She will cover both schools until they get someone to cover the elementary school if needed.

I'm growing tree watermelons. they grow vertical and 6" size. I'm trying to be innovative.
“Tree watermelons”
Is that what you are calling it? If so, you are being innovative! I mean, buying a half melon now has a whole new meaning
