I know, I know it's been awhile. Well, I've been busy, and I guess lazy too, so here is an update.
First, Abby went to the Prom this year. The kids really put together a neat deal. 6 couples met at our place for pictures, then to another house, where we and two of the other set of parents served them a full course meal with all the trimmings. Next, it was off to the prom, then at about 1:00 am they all came back to our place for video games and food. Four of them spent the night, and went to church with us the next day. It's kind of nice knowing teenagers feel like they can drop by anytime. Ours is the place they seem to congregate. I guess we need to enjoy it while we can, since Abby will be a sr this next year.
Second, the garden. Lot's of good luck. I have been able to pick cucumbers, squash, beans, peppers, and lots of tomatoes. I bought some bird netting to keep the birds out of the tomatoes. My mom gave me some old red glass Christmas balls. I hung them up along with some old cds. It' s funny to watch those mocking birds and crackles peck at those red balls. The theory is after awhile they get tired of pecking at them and will leave your tomatoes along. We'll see. My pellet gun is sighted in, and I have sent several on to bird heaven.
Lastly, I had some blood work done at the doc's. He said everything is perfect. His advice, lose weight, eat right, and exercise. I think he means I need to cut back on the moon pies.
