Throwing Tomatoes for Charity

I’ve sometimes cringed a little when I hear about the big tomato fight events, like La Tomatina in Buñol, Spain.
I know it’s tradition and people enjoy it thoroughly, but I also think about how many people those tomatoes could feed.
I was at least a bit happier when I learned about a recent such event in Reno, Nevada.
They wanted to recreate the famous Spanish tomato fight in their own city, with a twist.
Participants paid $10 on August 29th, 2009 to join in the tomato chucking fun. If they wanted to aim their weapons at the mayors of Reno or Sparks, they paid $50. All money went to the American Cancer Society.
Forty thousand pounds of tomatoes were donated by Read the rest of this entry »

Below is a beautiful poem I want to share with you. the author is Bradford Torrey
Be still my heart! Have faith in God, and wait;
Although He linger long, He never comes too late.
He never cometh late; He knoweth what is best;
Vex not thyself in vain; Until He cometh, rest.
.Until He cometh, rest, Nor grudge the hours that roll;
The feet that wait for God are soonest at the goal.
Yes, soonest at the goal That is not gained with speed;
Then hold thee still, my heart,
For I shall wait His lead.
'

Good Morning Dad... That cup of Starbuck Sumatra is really looking and smelling good! I went and poured some more into my cup. We are having another beautiful fall morning. It will be a good day to do some yard and garden cleanup. I have 3 green tomatoes left on my one plant so tonight we have some of your fried green tomatoes. I love tomatoes but I just could not throw them at any one or have them thrown at me. I'd say "Here's a donation; hold the tomatoes".
Your poem is lovely and makes me think of my mother-in-law who is now deceased. At 96 she was tired and didn't know why God didn't take her home. But she would then cheerfully say I guess I am not done His work. And she wasn't. It may have been with a touch of her hand, a kind word, or a hardy laugh or a few words of wisdom that she was helping others. She died holding my hands tightly, a slight smile on her face, happy to hear her 3 sons, back together again, talking in the other room. Her work was done.
Have a nice weekend. ...Sara's Mom
My mom has gone and made me cry. How wonderful that my Babci was at peace when she left this world.
How different your yard looks without that tree. It always takes a few days to adjust to the bareness. I'm always sad when a tree has to come down.
Have a good, restful weekend.
Your cup is never empty. It is daily filled with coffee, smiles, love, joy, tenderness, friendship and blessings. Aloha, Sara's aunt
Dear Dad and Ms. Mary:
I do love that poem, Dad -- thanks for sharing it with us! And I'm glad you had no problems getting that tree down -- it's safer without it, and you do have a lot of beautiful trees left for the birds, from what I remember from your WebCams! ;)
That sounds like good coffee. Sumatra is a good one! Hope your evening is relaxing and peaceful, and that tomorrow is profitable for you both. ;) Love from Jamaka and fams
