Here is a little takeaway problem to start off September.
Here is a list of letters. All you have to do is to strike out five letters and you should have a word which is in an English dictionary.

What a challenging way to start September's strand, Ed! I even misspelled the answer on my first attempt... sorry for the deletion.
APOLOGIES accepted, I hope.
LOL. Lucy
Wow, Louise,
That's good!
Happy Sept 4th everyone!
Love,
ME xoxoxoxo
Well, we are in the process of packing for our move to our new house (not far from where we live right now) and I am doing some serious purging so that there is less to move! I have found Grandpa's old manual SLR camera, which I learned on and used for many years. As our life stage has changed, I got an automatic SLR, and now have traded that in for a much simpler digital. Is anyone interested in Grandpa's manual? It comes with a few different lenses, and a newer flash that I bought, but I think it needs a tuneup before you can use it. Let me know!
Thanks for the post about Dad's camera, Holly. I'm going to pass on the offer but I appreciate having the chance to "snap it up".
Love, Louise
Happy Anniversary, Bonnie and Robert!

You can be sure that we will pour ourselves a wee dram of single-malt scotch to celebrate your 67th birthday today.
You have caught up to me (Louise) in age; may you soon follow us both into a full and happy retirement. Cheers!
Love and the very best of wishes,
Louise and David

Happy Birthday, Logan!
We think it's extra-special that you share this birth date with your Grandpa Wohlberg.
Turning 16 is also considered one of life's milestones. We hope this birthday is special in all the ways you could possibly desire. As soon as the light of your candles has disappeared in smoke, may your 16th birthday wish start to come true!
Warm greetings and lots of love,
Louise and David

25. EGGPLANT?
29. BANANA PEPPER
Numbers 3 AND 15
3. TURNIP (after the famous English highwayman Dick Turpin)

Nice work, BJ,
That just leaves us #2 to solve.
Lucy
DONE!
#2 MARROW
p.s.
I'M NOT SURE ABOUT #25. What do you think?
How about BEETROOT for #25--Whack the origin
That's a great finish, BJ. EGGPLANT is clever but BEETROOT is perfect for clue 25.
I'll get our entry form in the mail today.

Happy Anniversary,
Jamie and Chris!
. . . and the same warm wish to you,
Abby and Josh!
. . . A gift of WOOD is suggested for a fifth anniversary celebration. Wood is a strong image of life, growth and beauty. May your marriage reflect those same qualities and may your day be filled with joy.
Double cheers!
