Happy Father's Day

This past week has been great, a bit too hot, but pretty good. We harvested the first 3 tomatoes out of our garden. They were delicious. I am hoping to get a lot more so I can have lots of BLTs and homemade salsa. Our Garden is growing well. The corn is as tall as Thomas and the squash and zuchinni plants are trying to over run the rest of the plants.

This upcoming week we are traveling back in time. Our car is going to go in for cosmetic surgery to repair the damage it received in the Deer incident. We will be without our car for 3 days. A friend has offered to let us borrow their bumper-less intrepid if we want it. We just need to arrange to pick it up.

I think Nathanial had a good Father's Day. Thomas (with my help) gave him a weed-eater so he can have more to do out in the yard. I am not much of a yardwork person, so Nathanial gets to do it all. Nathanial also got to eat a breakfast casserole (YUCK!) that I made for him as well as chicken cordon bleu casserole for dinner. He enjoyed getting relax and play with Thomas.

I hope we all take a little time out of our busy day to day life to thank those who are important to us. We never know when a kind word or thoughtful note can make the day of someone we care about. Hope you had a Happy Father's Day

Back in Arkansas Again

After our nice trip to Utah in May, we are getting back into the groove of normal life. We have been working really hard on getting the yard ready for summer. Nathanial has put up a new gate and cut down all of the ugly trees and the nuisance trees too.

Thomas is having tons of fun with summer. The family next door has a 4 year old girl who loves to play with Thomas. She is home for the summer since mom is a teacher. I look forward to lots of fun days for those too.

Next week, we will be taking our car into the shop to get it fixed after hitting the deer in Nebraska. Hopefully it will be as good as new when they are finished with it.
