ZUCCHINI TOOTHPASTE?

Don’t come near our house, especially with your windows rolled down or any open containers in sight. You may be bombed with INCOMING ZUCCHINI!!!! We will get rid of them any way we can, including stealth and trickery.

We didn’t realize that the variety we put in to The North One-Fortieth is called “The Energizer Bunny Zucchini.” It just keeps growing and growing. . . .

We have had zucchini bread. We have had zucchini bars. We have had zucchini chocolate cake (not bad!). We have had grilled zucchini with olive oil and garlic. We have had braised zucchini with butter and Parmesan cheese. We have had zucchini in our scrambled eggs and salads, and on our veggie trays and snack plates.

What’s next? Zucchini toothpaste? Zucchini doorstops? A zucchini Christmas tree?!?!?

Don’t answer your doorbell. It might be a basket holding a zucchini with a baby bonnet on it, with a sign pinned on: ‘’ADOPT ME . . . PLEASE!!!!!’’

Prayer request: First, praise that my Cousin Roger has already been released from the hospital after heart surgery. Thank You, Lord! Also, a precious young lady named Jane is starting high school this week. Her mother prays that “angel mentors” will gather ‘round her and give her guidance and encouragement to make her education the best it can be. Mom also prays for “a boatload of wisdom” for her to be the best mother of a teenager she can be. Remind her there’s smooth sailing in the ship of God. Lord, you’re the Captain: full speed ahead! (Acts 27:31)
