Harvesting the Garden

I came home to piles of homegrown veggies on the counter... all cleaned and ready to go. I was speechless and then I thought, 'I have to take a picture' to capture this moment. This is what success looks like! Our garden generally gives way to weeds by August, never producing too much. Not this year. Under the watchful care of Kelsie and Abby, our garden is blossoming. Thank you girls!!!

Earning $$$ for Wasington DC

Abby gets to go with a small group of OHS history students to Washington DC this fall with her history teacher Reggie Reese. A few of her friends are going which will make it extra fun. She is so excited! Years past, we were able to treat the girls to this trip. Now in this economy? We can pay half and she has to earn half. I know. It isn't fair... but life isn't always fair and in our favor. Thankfully, she has pitched in with very little complaining and is doing odd jobs around the house to help earn money... Thank you Abby!
