Sloane's Vacation...Tomatoes and Gadgets

Good Morning Friends!

My goodness, Spring has quickly turned into Summer!  

Sloane and her mom and dad have enjoyed their vacation in Port Aransas, Texas.  They should already be home by the time I post this.  Looks like they ate a lot of seafood and played in a lot of sand and salt water...We missed them...




Miss Sloane (our great granddaughter)



Look-a-like clothes...lol


Always so happy...with mom and dad...



A little time-out with cousin Arlis...


Had to have a little swimming pool time...


Being chauffeured while out seeing the sights...lol



On the beach for the first time!






Pooped out...lol

It was Taco Tuesday!  Larry and I made it into town in time to enjoy one of our favorite meals.





These came off of my tomato plant.  It's already given me about 8, so far...and now these and, there's more on the plant!



Rosemary, Noah's Ark and Hibiscus



Here's the solar water feature (Amazon) Larry purchased for the bird bath.


Zucchini, Yellow squash, shrimp and tomatoes in a lemon cream sauce.


I saw this neat little gadget online somewhere, but I did a search for it and found it, yet again, on Amazon.  It chops strawberries, garlic, mushrooms...etc.  If it fits, it'll chop.  So if you have your board full of strawberries, let's say, you just push down over a strawberry, press quickly downward and then move on to the next one!  No emptying the chamber until it's full...Talk about a time saver!




Well, not much to report today...Hopefully, I didn't bore you too much.  Larry's feeling better...working back out in his workshop on more things for the wood fence...watering the foundation (Texas heat will dry out the soil around your house so we water it.  Not one crack in our's yet and have been doing this since we moved in 48 years ago.)  Most of the houses on this block have had some sort of foundation repair!  When visiting with the neighbors, we'd try to tell them how to keep cracks from happening but...they know best...not going to happen to them...okay...lol

Here's hoping you had a good week, were good to each other and enjoyed some "down" time.  

So, as Sloane is saying...bye bye for now...until next time,
