My three year old nephew and I were on the back roads one afternoon when we drove past Elmer's farm.
I said "Oh look,there's Elmer."
My nephew said "I want to see Elmer!"
I was surprised that he knew Elmer so well but I thought maybe
he remembered when Elmer took us on the hay ride last fall .


I turned around to go back to Elmer's farm  and the little one said
"Oh,I am SO excited to finally meet Elmo, I LOVE ELMO!!!!"
(He plays with his Sesame Street toys all the time!)

ELMO???

My mom Mildred (78)  and mother in law,Ida (93),
do most of our transplanting of the seedlings in the greenhouse.

Ida's hands have worked so hard all her life,
she is a Registered Nurse.
She worked in the hospital and also  as the
Public Health  Nurse for the Migrant Camps.
She was a farmer/preacher's wife
who many people admire for her testimony and strong faith.

 My mom is so cute,she always has broken ,crooked glasses.
(Edit:Can you see the safety pin?)
She is also one of the hardest workers that I have ever known.
She is is strong in spirit and fair,humble,slow to speak and wise.
She's my Mama!

She always takes off her shoes no matter where she is
and she is a little peanut,her feet never reach the floor!
