Good morning, Marilyn. I should not read Jean's recipes in the morning...they all sound so good and I know that all I get is a turkey sandwich for lunch!

Good Morning Mary,
Will see that Jean gets your message.

Thank you for your prayers. Believe me, I really appreciate them. Pierre and I go on walks. If it weren't for Pierre I don't think I would be walking as much as I do. He keeps me going.

Thanks! I'm saving this recipe for cooler weather. Sounds like good old comfort food. And, to Angela, we've had a lot of cold sandwiches for our main supper meal. I'm Temps here in SC are reaching 102+ during the day.I agree with Marilyn.
Yuck! It's only June.
