Learning As We Go 
Hi Everyone…hope this works. I love this picture of J and O. I also see you have a plum tree and this year you can eat the plums…that’s great. it’s fun to have fruit trees in your back yard, The house I lived in when I was 5 and 6 had a huge back yard and we had a great big apple tree with tons of good apples and apple trees are fun to climb and I loved climbing high up in the tree. My mother also had a hugh garden and I can remember picking all the green beans and tomatoes and they were so good to eat. New Jersey corn and tomatoes are the best in the country…good soil. Other people will say they have the best, but trust me New Jerseys are the best and we ate corn everyday it was in season. Your great-grandmother was a wonderful cook. I’m not so good anymore, but I do make good applesause every fall and good spageti (spelling) sauce. Grandma Judy is not a good speller. Well I hope this gets to you..let me know and I’ll try to write as often as I can. Have to get up and get off the computer and go work in the yard. Have a Happy Labor Day and I love you all, Grandma Judy
