And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Not very good at blogging these days. My bad. We got to go to our newest nephew's baby blessing over Labor Day weekend, and I forgot to bring the camera! Then I temporarily lost the thingy that lets me download pictures onto the computer. Not to worry, I found it and I took pictures this weekend, so you're in for a post.

Just a cute pictures of Miles for good measure

I feel like all I've been doing lately in can things. I know I'm not even canning that much, but it consumes most of the day if I do it. We got all our corn off and divided it between the two couples. When they handed me our share I thought, "woah! That's a ton of corn!" And it felt like a ton of corn as I shucked (Yes, this corn was 'hand-shucked') every cob and cut off all the kernels by hand. It was only slightly depressing when we only got 9 quart size freezer bags.


Richie and I have felt like we've been on over-drive this past week, so we wanted to make sure we had a fun weekend. We had never been to the zoo in IF so that's what we planned. Well we got all of our chores done like good little girls and boys do, waited for Miles to nap and then headed down. We missed getting into the zoo by about 30 minutes. What kind of zoo closes at 4pm??? So we resorted to our dear old friend, frisbee golf. Richie has passed on his slight obsession for frisbee golf to Miles who loves going frolfing and who pretends anything flat and circular is a "wee bwee" at home. We were in luck though! They were having a free concert at the park with the IF symphony and the IF Firemen bagpipers. We stayed for part of it and were thrilled. And since we saved our money from the would-be zoo trip, we tried out a new restaurant. Not the best place if you ask me, but I didn't have to cook, and that's always a nice thing.

That corn is impressive! Miles is so handsome as usual.

I told you on the phone how impressed I was with your corn growing, husking and freezing! Way to go!

Something about Richie reminds me of Michael Landon in the old Bonanza TV shows......not necessarily in this photo..........but in general. Can anyone else see it?

Give Miles a kiss for me!
