Found 'em!

We've been looking for those cucumber-pickle-tomato eaters and tonight we found them! They went right to work selling their produce...when it was suggested that they might want to set up a vegetable stand in the morning...they set up shop immediately! Graham barks his wares..."tomatoes, tomatoes put them on your salads!" The girls are a little quieter about it...though they should have been a good advertisement as to how good the cucumbers are as they chowed down on them while they waited for customers. Graham did make a sale...their next door neighbor (not us) came out not long after Graham started barking about his tomatoes and bought some.

I'm late blogging tonight as we had to catch up with the neighbors. We haven't seen each other for a month! They have been on the road going to a Christian conference, going to several churches and doing a week long camp...they have been in the DC area (while we were at NIH!) and they have been in Oh, IN, PA, VA working and spent time vacationing at Lake Michigan and Lake Erie...all that time in their camper!!!!! I think that they are all glad to be home so they each have a bit more space! Sounds like they worked hard, but also had a lot of fun along the way too. We're glad to have them home to turn over the cucumber and tomato business. Tomorrow we will take over some jars of pickles...they already have quite a few jars in their freezer! They sampled several kinds tonight...Graham didn't even squint when he tried the lemon pickles! I don't know how he did it. I missed the cutest picture of Elijah when he took a bite of one of the bread and butter pickles...he did make a "pickle face!"

Woody got up early and walked 6-miles. He mowed for a couple of hours and when cooling off and resting he read. When I got up I set to work cooking and cleaning. I made potato salad with potatoes from our garden and used our homemade pickle relish...looking forward to eating it tomorrow when it is good and cold. Then this evening we have been catching up with the neighbors. We couldn't get in to cool off their house (one of us (not me!) locked the key that we have for their house inside their house last week) so they all came over here to eat one of their frozen meals...using our microwave while their house cooled down a bit. Then the children left one at a time to go set up their veggie stand...this was a trial for tomorrow...when they really get down to business!
