We are trying to transition JB from a sippy cup to a regular cup. He usually does great, not spilling anything. However, look what happens when you leave a newly 2 year old unattended in their chair with a cup of Fruit Punch Powerade.


Hit the courts again with my new tennis friend. Just love hitting with someone that is just about my level. He is in better shape but has a few more years on him than I do, so it evens out the playing field. I took a babysitter to the park with us while I played, so made it even better! I was telling him that the raquet I play with is the same one I played with 25 years ago. (Shows you how little I have played the last 20 years). I can't bring myself to upgrade. However, he assures me that technology has changed so much that I would be surprised at how rackets have evolved. Might try to demo a few this weekend.

Working a few hours this Friday night. There is a huge wedding party and the reception is a seated, plated dinner. They are bringing in about 30 additional staff for 2 hours so that everyone can be served at about the same time. I can't imagine being on the set up and clean up for that one.

Found out yesterday that the principal at B's school is in ICU. He was running and collapsed. First thought was a heart attack but now thinking a collapsed artery. He is still in a medical induced coma. The man is in incredible shape and probably somewhere around 50. Needless to say, everyone at the school is panicking. Back to school night in 10 days!

Our garden, our dismal garden. It does not help that it has been neglected this summer and not watered as often as it should have been. The pepper plants are just starting to grow. The corn is getting tall. We have corn planted in two different spots, one received full sun and the other does not. Interesting to see the differnce in the two. The carrots, poor carrots. I did not thin them out, so don't have a lot of room to grow. However, Jbird pulled one up that was about the size of a finger. I was quite pleased as he stood in the backyard and ate it, right from the ground. A good flavor. We need to do some work before next summer and find some good topsoil. I wish we had the room for a raised bed. JR has built a playhouse in the back yard, along with the sand box that is there, so not a lot of sunny spots left in our yard.
