Hello Friends!

Oh my! I hardly know where to start.

In the past 10 days a lot has happened. Three people who are close to us have received some bad health news. So, we have been worried and dealing with that.

Also, Moe started preschool while Mimi started Kindergarten. It is amazing how we have adapted and formed a new routine. Both kiddos seem to like it, and have already matured some. It is funny how some development is quick. Amelia started school writing her name rather largely and messily, and in two weeks she has learned to write it smaller, on the line, and with only one capital letter. In three days Miles has learned 5 new songs that he sings constantly.

And we are winding down on the garden. I can't believe I am saying this, but I am sooo tired of tomatoes. I never thought that could happen. And I don't want a zucchini for awhile either, however I crave okra and all the peppers.

We also got a new sliding door. WOOT! I altered some curtains for it. I actually ripped out the seam only to discover I ripped out the wrong side. So, I doubled my work by being careless. Finally I got it done. I cleaned the garage and it is cleaner than ever before. It is nice to be able to park in there again!!!!

So, we have been busy and preoccupied with some things life has dealt us. But, we are hanging in there.

Have a great weekend. Next post I promise some pics of what I have been working on. My camera needs to be recharged. :)

I'm jealous! We probably haven't gotten a dozen tomatoes all summer and I planted 6 rows of them!

How neat that the kids are both learning so much already. What are you doing with all your free time now? lol

Hi Marti!

It seems like I have been doing a lot of household chores, cleaning, and sewing.
It seems to go by quickly! I love love love the quiet time!!!

I am with you on the tomatoes. I thought I would never ever grow tired of them. So, we have been making a of salsa and freezing it. It goes great in soups.
Have a good weekend! Karen

HI! I know you have a lot to deal with right now. I'm glad you've got some free time with the kids in school!
I still love my tomatoes, but I have been canning a LOT of salsa. (And it probably won't be enough!)

I'm wishing you a truly uneventful year to follow these last crazy months.
