Father’s Day

Lots of things have happened since my last entry. For one thing, this past weekend was fairly relaxing. Father’s Day was restful, and I enjoyed it. Michele and the kids took me out to Red Lobster for supper, and then Michele made a special Mexican dish tonight that I had requested. It was a new recipe from Rick Bayless’s cookbook and it was VERY good! Samantha, our adopted kitten, has grown quite a bit. The weather has been unusually cool but today it was hot and humid. We’re looking forward to upcoming trips. There are a lot of perennials that I have to plant that we’ve bought at garden centers at a discount. I finally finished installing the new perennial border in the front yard and it looks very nice. The vegetable garden has been a disappointment because the five rows of beans I planted never sprouted, plus rabbits ate the peppers and some of the cabbages, and the cucumbers got to dehydrated. The tomatoes look like they’ll survive, but not much else. We’re looking forward to hopefully getting our van back from collision repairs tomorrow.
