Lesson #8 Green Thumb

Dear Jeanie,

How can I ever learn all that you know about plants?  For as long as I can remember you have been busy growing beautiful flowers, plants, veggies, and fruit.  You constantly take the time to water, weed, prune, fertilize, and love your plants. 

I am always amazed at your knowledge of plants and trees.  You can tell me the names of almost any plant there is.  I love this about you.  I love walking in a beautiful garden and thinking of you, and thinking about what you might say as we would walk through it together.  It truly brings a smile to my face! 

I think that you will always have the green thumb and I will always have the green toes!!!  :)  (From mowing the lawn in my flip flops)

Love you,
Kristin

Lesson #7 Sloppy Joes

Dear Jeanie,

About a week ago I made the famous Sloppy Joe recipe.  It made me think of where that yummy recipe originated from.  I have no clue why I remember this, because I think I was only about 8 at the time.  We went to Belmont Springs with the McEvoy family.  She made these yummy Sloppy Joe's and you got it from her. 

I can't believe that the time has gone, and so has Sis. McEvoy.  I got thinking that Sally and her sisters can't just hop on the phone and ask their mom questions about the recipe, or any other one for that fact.  I am so incredibly blessed to hear your voice at the end of a rough day, or to hear you tell me your little secrets about cooking gravy, BBQ, or raising a family of 6 kids. 

Love you,

Kristin
