well, it was just the one garage sale open at 6:30. Anyhoo, we weren't there at 6:30, not until closer to 8. It is 9:40 now and we have been to three sales and stopped for a break at grandma and grandad's.

You need to get my husband to take you garage sale-ing. He is, no lie, the KING of garage sales.

I did not like salad until I was an adult. I still don't like raw (or even intact cooked) tomatoes. I even tried one...maybe a year ago? Not a fan.

Well, my CSA this week should be salad-tastic, with lettuce and tomatoes and I forget what. I also plan to make ground beef and green beans and rice with soy sauce. I'm not sure why that is what I need to do with the green beans, but it totally is.

One of the cops told us he has been banned from the County by a judge, which is generally not a good sign. Also, he seems to have VOLUNTEERED this fact to them.

I am Mr. Grumpypants today.

Owen employs a lot of natural spelling.

I totes knew bsgety!

Liv slept 13 hours last night! I'm thinking growth spurt.

Halloween in NO is fun times and the craziness level is easy to regulate by slight shifts in location, IME. And the weather is usually nice, maybe warm and sticky, maybe a bit chilly, but probably not extreme either way.

We got an email from our CSA this morning saying that the heavy rains and hot temps probably meant no more lettuce this year. So sad!

I would be happy about that! I have little to no interest in lettuce.

Yeah, why are you even reading emails from work people??

seriously. this is what autoreply is made for. They know that you're on vacation,and your blood pressure doesn't have to spike from reading their stupidity.

We dug ours out in the church garden (the kids have a garden they tend during the summer, and sell the produce after church.) After a couple of weeks of "it's okay, so long as you use a sweet dressing," it just got too bitter to eat.
