My Small Garden has finally produced some red tomatoes. So today, we had BLTs and some of last year's tomato soup for lunch. Now that the crop is coming in, we'll have to begin freezing the excess tomatoes so that we are ready to make the 2009 batch of soup.


Yesterday, my barbershop quartet had a gig in Sandusky. We went early enough that we could visit the Firelands Winery before we had to sing. They had an elevated walkway that allowed you to see the wine-making machinery. Unfortunately, there was not much Friday afternoon activity for us to see. We did buy a case of assorted wines to bring home (3 bottles per couple). And yes, we were more than sober enough to make it to our singing engagement. It was at the Providence Care Center Nursing Home. A big outdoor barbecue for residents and their families. We strolled from table to table and sang a variety of songs (no repeats) for about an hour. Then they treated us and the wives to BBQ chicken, corn on the cob and all the fixings.

Before we left Sandusky, we stopped at Toft's Dairy and Ice Cream Parlor. We had passed by Toft's on the way to the winery and made a note to stop later. I highly recommend Toft's to any ice cream lovers. It is similar to Graeter's and we know how good their ice cream is.
