Weekend Happenings

Some have expressed concern over my lack of posting.  I'm touched by the concern (and that you've noticed!), and I don't really have any big explanation or huge accomplishments to share.  It's just a busy life.


Without time, still, to spend composing a deeper message, I thought I'd just share just some of what went on around our house this weekend... 


Prom time! for Prince Inventive


















Princess Artiste worked on her nutrition assignment,
which was "Superfood: Oatmeal."  Along with a written
report, she had to make 5 recipes with oatmeal as a crucial
ingredient, and have photos to document.  Princess
Eager was her photographer.
























Hubby and Prince Steadfast worked on the garage...
















...but the prince made time to study for finals and to get out
in the kayaks twice with his wife.














Princess Sassy and I finally planted our pots









Positive thinking:  My future pesto supply























Hoping the growing color will detract from the other porch clutter.  ;-)
Actually, I will probably move some of the pots around the house and
yard, instead of having the line-up on the porch.  As they get started,
it's a great place for sun and easy access to water.



Hubby and I also enjoyed a potluck with his closest colleagues from work (for which 3 of us made pasta salad...oops), and spent Sunday morning, with the rest of our Bible study group, helping prep for our church's annual community outreach, called "Bikes, Bands, and BBQ."  It's the largest motorcycle event in the county, and had a lot of food and fun.  We spent a few hours, mostly up to our elbows mixing and serving Asian Slaw... enough to serve 750.   I wish I'd thought to snap a few pics, especially of that slaw, which resembled confetti, with its mixed red and green cabbage, Napa cabbage, red bell peppers, carrots, sugar pea pods, green onion, crumbled Ramen noodles, sliced almonds, and an Asian vinaigrette dressing.


 I hope you're enjoying your June!

I haven't been able to find balance lately either. And I don't have anywhere near as many threads pulling on me. Inventive looks so handsome! Mine will have Junior Prom next year, but he has yet to show any interest in any of the dances. He's been invited to the King Bruin dance each of the last 2 yrs and declined. Your pesto looks strong and healthy. Looking forward to seeing your pesto posts.
You sure do have a lot going on! Blogland is such a caring, generous community - so nice so many were thinking of you!

I can't even imagine how hard it is to balance it all with your amazing responsibilities. I love, in it all, you have mostly pics of your wonderful kids to share ... and the garage is coming along. Take it all in stride and enjoy the journey. :)

And who says blogging is just "fun". LOL.
I am following the progress of the soon-to-be-fabulous garage. Please keep us updated on that.

Sometimes...life gets in the way of blogging. But that is how it should be rather than the other way around!
then...we come here and blog about it.
That is the connection we have--blogging about our life and experiences. That's why we miss each other when we fail to post often.

love the photos-- Prom, cooking, building, kayaking, planting and herbs.... all things that spice up our lives and make it exciting!
