Gladiola's in a bowl

Gladiola's in a bowl is a welcome sight when your tired from seeing shades of green making Watermelon rind pickles...I'm glad Cecil is enjoying them...we are on the first whole jar :o) ....I think I'll be making more of these this year!....
We had a very nice thing happen to us this weekend....One of the neighbors was delighted to hear we have been married for 60 years to her 20?(something) and said she would keep that in mind....well , the doorbell rings, (Ratz!, it's still out of order , Cecil is afraid of moving the siding and not being able to get it back.)finding someone to remove and replace the siding after they fix the bell without charging you two arms and a leg is like finding a needle in a haystack). so for now, the sign says "Knock" Bell out of order" the management! Me! anyway back to the story..
The knock on the door was the neighbor with tickets paying for a nice big meal for us at "Libby Hill" (they asked Cecil where and what we liked to eat "Seafood" was his first response...wasn't that a nice thing for someone to do.
