It's absolutely delicious and you can bet your bottom dollar it'll be on our Thanksgiving table. I do hope you and your Ron have been doing well. I've been busy with company from Puerto Rico and also dealing with Johnny getting sick. All is good as our Lord is great in HIs care and healing. Here's wishing you and your Ron a beautiful upcoming week as we head into the holidays. I've already started decorating myself. Sending you massive tons of love and blessings mi querida Rachel.

Thank you so much, I missed reading your happy uplifting comments my friend. I'm sorry to hear your Johnny was sick, I hope he's doing better now my friend. I hope you prepare these green beans because when I do they are gone fast. Take care and know that I'm always happy to read your comment. ❤😊
