HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATHANIEL!!!!!

Well Happy 21st B-day Nathaniel!! It was a warm day like this when you were born too. Hope all goes well for you today!

Sometime this summer a vine started growing among the red sage in the flowerbed beside the summerhouse. For some reason I just left it grow and wondered what on earth it was and why it was growing there. One day I spotted a nice sized cantaloupe on the vine which was definitely a surprise!! The fact that the sun beat on it everyday and it was along the stone foundation which kept it warmer overnight, meant that the cantaloupe actually ripened. This morning I decided to pick it. It is the best cantaloupe I have ever tasted!!! I think I could eat the whole thing myself.

Willie the tester was here this morning. He just got back from a 3 week trip to the west coast. They were at the Hoover dam but didn't go to the Grand Canyon because someone told them that it is just too big to take in so they avoided it!! Okaaay - makes sense to me -NOT!!!

Philip is getting sort of worn out from all the running that he is doing. He is losing weight too. It's good the season will soon be over and then I will miss it - go figure. Well I need to get going because Trish and I are going to Lowe's to get supplies for out church sanctuary project. Hope all is well with everybody!!! LOVE YA MOM
