Meet my friend, Lynne!

I want to introduce you to a friend of mine.

Her name is "Lynne" and she has just started blogging.

She's been a reader of many of our blogs for a long time

and she has finally decided to join the ranks!

Lynne (on the left in the picture.. her sweet daughter is on the right) helped her parents run a wonderful antiques store

in South Texas. She now does estate sales.

This new papaya is sweeter and milder and smaller in size. And we grow it!! Yum!!
