A Weeks Worth of Knowlege

The leaders of the church have counseled us to never stop learning and I have taken their advice.

Here are a few things I have learned this week:

Leaving cereal, sugar, and splenda on the counter top will attract the attention of little critters (this was the first time I have ever left the kitchen before cleaning up breakfast I promise!)

Adding a little sleeping potion when you water your garden will eventually pay off.

Deciding to rearrange bedrooms and make a toy room all before unpacking from a 10 day vacation turns into a LOT of housework, which can wear out even the most valiant workers.

One cucumber plant is WAY more than any one family can use (anyone can feel free to stop by and have a free cucumber) This is one days harvest from our garden.

I am super attractive (I know you are thinking it has taken her 31 29 years to realize how attractive she is!?!) But now I know, the only down side is that I seem to only attract flies (and Bryan...but that is a different post all together). They swarm to me whether I am cleaning, sweeping, reading or heaven forbid using the facilities. It doesn't even matter if I have done my make up, hair or even showered, (in fact I am beginning to wonder if I am more attractive when I don't shower.....) they swarm to me!! I am about to go crazy!

It is WAY past due for a picture of our super cute 4th of July Picture.

Well now that you are just as knowledgeable as I am I will bid you farewell, and happy learning!

Overnight Cucumbers

So...we are home again. *what* *gasp* *gone*??? Yes we made a last minute decision to spend the week in Utah so we packed up and left. (I know you were all worried about where we were at) It was a fabulous trip and I will post more about it later, but when we got back we were delighted to find some orange tomatoes (SO close to being red...come on little tomatoes...you can do it!), some large cauliflower (but not large enough), and onions poking up from the ground (I think they are done growing, but they are not very big) . But none of them were ready to harvest. But don't feel to bad for me, I did get some cucumbers that were more than ready to harvest, and one green pepper.

I swear I checked them before we left and saw NO sign of growing cucumbers, but I must have missed them. I am thrilled to try them out for dinner tonight!
