Thanks, Pam I have been here forever it seems, lol. I do love all the wonderful friends and I know i forgot many, sadly. That photo is a few years old but it was a nice one that my husband took of me.

Thank you, @sallybeth23 I hope I do have many more wonderful years here on Hive. ♥

Thank you, I am so sorry I forgot to mention you as an integral support. I appreciate you very much.♥

I am so glad you did find me, I appreciate your support and friendship @owasco. ♥

I appreciate your kind comment, @funshee 8 years is a long time and I am looking forward to many more.

Yes, I have been here for a long time and have met so many wonderful people. Thank you for your support. ♥

It seems a lot of us have been here for a very long time. We have all grown together. ♥

Thank you, Erikah you are so kind! ♥

Wow, that is awesome, Denisse I remember when we first met here. Happy birthday to you. ♥

Thank you so much, @elbuhito, I love being here. ♥

I agree, Joan, this is a wonderful meeting place to share our lives.

Jalapenos are awesome for so many recipes. It's too bad you can't get them. The Cowboy Candy is a great way to use up a plentiful harvest. I planted too many plants so I had a ton of them. I will share

Indeed, kaminchan, I have enough food preserved for a year + I need to grow less next season as that was a lot more harvest than I was expecting, and hard to keep up with. Peace and love to you.

Indeed! I am almost done canning for the fall. Then I will think about fall cleaning of the gardens and perhaps different rooms in the house. I am a bit behind, lol.

Yes, I have been a busy bee for sure. The pantry is almost complete and I will be stocked for a year or more. ♥

I can imagine sitting on the balcony with the sea and the stars overhead. The cruise looks amazing.

We think so too, Nina, thank you! ♥

I am so glad they are all getting along so well. You really got some cute photos of them all.

I can almost smell those cabbage steaks. I made them once and I admit they were wonderful. Your's look so delicious my mouth is watering, ;-) ♥

Wow, that is a big undertaking but I imagine it will be so nice to have the grapes tied to those support lines.
