Not for sale, but keep reading. I bought this house in the town of Cornelia
Georgia where I was born. It has a very large back yard for the kid's to
romp. Our neighbors all have big back yards, a very hard thing to find in
the big city of Cornelia.
Every summer the kids ride there bikes and skateboards up and down the
street and motorbikes in the field behind the Bell's.
The summers here are great, but the fall is my favorite. This little
bungalow with the big backyard on the quit street also has 4 large pecan
trees and one very large and old grape arbor. Not just any grape either.
Now I'm sure the grapes in the Valley are good but these are White
Muscatine's. They make the sweetest jelly and wine. The best part about
them is you do nothing to them but pick um. No pruning, no pesticides,
no fussing what so ever.
So while you folks are enjoying the warm weather I'm here patiently
waiting on the grapes to ripen so I can enjoy the fruits of my very little
labor.

Whats up with my burger???
No wonder my burger had no Tomato today. At first I was
upset, But now I know why.
MIAMI (Reuters) - Florida's tomato industry is in "complete
collapse" and growers in California and Mexico are having
trouble selling their crops as U.S. regulators hunt the
source of a salmonella outbreak linked to certain tomato
varieties, growers said on Tuesday.
In Florida, the No. 1 U.S. tomato producer, $40 million
worth of tomatoes will rot unless the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration quickly traces the source of the outbreak
and clears the state's produce, an industry official said.
"We've had to stop packing, stop picking," said Reggie
Brown, executive vice president of the Florida Tomato
Growers Exchange.
"The stuff that should have been harvested over the
weekend won't survive more than another day or so. The
stuff we have in storage is getting riper every minute and at
some point it will have to be disposed of," Brown said.
The FDA warned U.S. consumers on Saturday that the
outbreak was linked to eating certain raw red plum, red
Roma, and red round tomatoes, and products containing
those tomatoes.
Major restaurant and grocery chains stopped selling those
varieties, and some stopped selling all raw tomatoes entirely.
