Hey guys! Happy 09-09-09! Still around. Database crashed and I wasn’t able to get to it until last night. Sorry about that!!
We had a jam packed weekend full of fun!
We took Tristan bowling and I even wore Clark for part of it. Don’t worry, I played it safe… & Tristan had a ball… LOL! 
And as a last consolation for the summer and because our membership is going to expire at the end of the month; we went to the zoo!
We BBQ’d yesterday at my in laws. I made a nice spinach salad and the neighbors actually made a raw dish! I was so impressed. It was a zucchini salad with lemon zest and sun dried tomatoes. Yum, yum!
This summer I’ve tried a few raw dishes and some new cooked ones. Our garden didn’t do as well as we’d hoped. This is the first year in five years that we’ve planted a garden and have not had much of a harvest. The insane high temps killed most of our plants or slowed their growth. We normally have tons and tons of tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant and peppers. We hardly had any harvest of what we planted. It was a bit discouraging but also part of gardening and the challenges you face. We’re determined to research some of the challenges through winter in hopes of a more successful garden next year. Hopefully, we master composting by then and are able to provide the much needed nutrients we were possibly lacking and time of all things. Thankfully, my mother in laws garden was flourishing because we’ve been eating some of her bounty.
