We had our first garden this year (thanks to Grandpa!) and did we have a whopper of a crop... green tomatoes (the growing season is a bit short here), delicious corn, pumpkins, zucchini, cantaloupe, and of course potatoes. And did the potatoes do well! Here is a photo of the biggest one of the bunch ... as big as my hand and an easy two and a half pounds. This one will easily provide a whole meal for our family! (Please feel free to send us potato recipes!!) The rest were good sized, too. All in all, not too bad for our first go round.

August Summer Fun
August started off with a bang and we are now well into September and things just haven't slowed down yet. One of my highschool classmates got married on Fri, Aug 1. It was a very beautiful wedding. Dave and Kerry, we wish you the best!
Then it was off to the beaches ... again! This time to Skookumchuck on the Salmon River with Matthew, Magdalene, and Raphael over from Seattle.
Then we had Paul and Kristin and Patrick, Claudia, and Declan come for a couple weeks. Did we have fun!
Then, after everyone left and I was visting California, some friends from Seattle came and Maura and the kids got to spend some time with the Hatches and Gary.
After I got back, Emily, also from Seattle, came for a few days.
Now, as the summer winds down and the fall rains begin, we look forward to next summer when we can do it all over again!
