I had the best surprise phone call yesterday morning from my 5 year old grandson. I don’t know if anyone here remembers, but in March we flew out to California for his 5th birthday, and my gift to him was to plant a Bonnie shishito pepper plant with him. We bought the soil together and I did most of the work, but he definitely helped.
So the phone call yesterday was a very proud 5 year old wanting to show me that he has 4 baby shishitos growing! Should be ready to pick in a few days! Lots of other blossoms on it, too. He’s so excited and I’m so excited for him!
We will get to see each other for almost a week starting the 13th. Hubby is retiring and to celebrate we are renting a house a block away from the beach, bay side, on Anna Maria Island. So for the first time in quite a while, we will have all of our kids and grandkids together. Not everyone can stay the whole week, but it will be nice to have even a few whole days together!
My siblings and their kids and grandkids will be stopping in for a BBQ celebration one day. So I’ve been not just been prepping for the garden, I’ve been prepping for this trip. Today is a travel day, as we head back to Columbus one more time before the big trip. We will visit with old friends in the afternoon, then see our youngest and his girlfriend for dinner, then head back home.
The Gulf coast is paradise.
Mr. mm and I rented a place on Anna Maria Island several years ago. Life has not allowed for a return trip to FL.

That is such a sweet story abut your grandson. Thanks for sharing.
