Tuesday

Hey there!  Sorry I have been an absentee blogger lately.  A week ago it was no internet, yesterday it was a day of appointments and errands in town all day.  The boys and I had dental checkups (all clear, no cavities), lunch with my mom, aunt and Grandma, errands and a ‘girly’ check up in the afternoon.  Throw in a few other errands and I was beat!
One of the exciting errands what me getting a new phone!  I bit the bullet and got the Galaxy S4!  I feel so uptown, ha ha! I’m still getting used to it and trying to figure out how to join duplicate contacts (I’m following the directions, they just are joining!).  I can finally take screenshots, something silly to be excited about but I am! Ha ha!  My pics from my old phone didn’t transfer over, which bums me out.  Luckily most of the important ones I had transferred to my computer over time so I didn’t lose them all completely. But there was one in particular that I know I didn’t transfer, lost forever. Oh well, moving on.
I have black raspberries and red raspberries coming out of my ears! I love it!  I’ll be making mixed berry jelly later this week, I can’t wait!  My grape tomatoes are turning red, and there are a TON on the vine, so will have a bunch of those to eat and share.  And my regular tomato plants are full, won’t be long before those are turning red and I’m making Tomato Bread salad weekly! Yum yum!  I’ll share the recipe later! Sounds funky, but OH SO GOOD!  My jalapenos are growing well, too!  I have one out there I could pick but I think I’ll let it go a few more days to get a little bigger.  I think Stuffed Jalapenos are in my near future!
The weather here is HOT and STICKY!  Supposed to cool off after today, back to sleeping with the windows open! I can’t wait. 
Next week is our county fair.  I was a 4-Her from 4th grade through my senior year of high school, the fair is near and dear to my heart.  I still have my 4-H record book!  I should pull that gem out and go through it, see what silliness is in there!  I wish I had pics of me from that era to share but I didn’t show animals so no pics of me at the fair.  I do have my memories, though.  Aiden is in Clover Kids (K-3rd grades), he’ll show his 2 projects Saturday.  I’m anxious to see how he is with the judge.  He gets a little goofy around adults, doesn’t know how to talk to them.  This will be good for him. I’m so excited!
Time to get moving again.  Have a great Tuesday!
