Oh my goodness...what is in those Tomatoes? I want some!  HA! Was Michael Phelps eating your tomatoes? :-)

I'm no Marilyn Monroe...but imagine me singing Happy Birthday To You & I'll wish you Stol lat too which we sing at our family birthdays, which in Polish means "for 100 years" though I wish you more though! ;-)

I hope you have a lovely day!

Hope you have a very Happy Birthday on you 95th Dad. Let's do like we have been doing the last five years and just try one more year to have a tomato patch. LOL
I can remember back when you turned 90 and you just started you wonderful journal. I have watch each year as your tomatoes out did mine. Hopefully someday when I grow up, I'm only 62, I will learn how to do as well as you.
