For being a short week, this was a loooong week. We made it though and here's the recap.
As most of you know, my Grandpa Vern spends his summers up in the cool country of Show Low. He grew up on a farm and so it goes without saying that he has an amazing garden at his summer place. Grandma Sue drove up there on Sunday and came by our house with a massive delivery of fresh picked fruits and veggies, all grown by Grandpa. We have peaches, pears, peppers, apples, tomatoes and cucumbers. We've been eating fresh tomato and cucumber salads all week and mom spent Saturday slicing and dicing peaches to freeze them for something good later on.
The rest of the week past pretty quietly. We had a really nice storm move through on Wednesday and it rained all day long. Things dried out by Friday and we had my first softball game of the fall softball season. I did really, really well all around. I hit well and I pitched even better. I ended up pitching four innings, struck out 11 batters and only walked 2. Not bad for my first night out in several months.
On Saturday, I had yet another sleep over at my friend Claire's so mom and dad were on their own again. They had plans this time though so yeah for them. They headed down town for good beer, spicy brussels sprouts, and pizza and then headed over to another restaurant for an "Ice Cream Show Down" that was a fund raiser for a local charity called Ben's Bells. It's a super neat organization and you should look it up. Unfortunately, the show down wasn't super well organized and they ended up waiting in a super long line for a super long time so mom and dad bailed out kind of early on that. But it was a fun evening either way.
The big project on Sunday was installing the new light fixture mom bought for our sun room. We finally got rid of one of the ugly white ceiling fans. Now, we need to figure out what to do with the second half of the room. But it looks better already.
