Well, Hello again, computer problems and trying to post from a mobile device mean that I have not had the opportunity to post here.  New Laptop...So I thought I would give it another try.  I won't even try to catch you up on the last 8 plus months. :)

Today TopDad had a doctors appointment near Louisville.  He stopped at a greenhouse on the way home and brought home 2 flats of bedding plants for our fall garden.  So tonight we put in a half row of cauliflower, a row of Broccoli and a row and a half of cabbage.  Hope everything comes in before or after our beach vacation in October.  The Broccoli and cauliflower will likely go in the freezer and the Cabbage will go into sauerkraut.  The summer garden did fairly well considering the drought.  We have put up lots of spaghetti sauce and tried several other new things with our cherry tomatoes.  I have more peppers than I know what to do with, mostly sweet banana peppers.

I have stared School with the little girlies. We are just slowly getting started.  BeeBug and DooCat are enjoying Heart of Dakota again this year.  They are using Creation to Christ and Bigger hearts for his Glory this year.  I am looking at a letter of the week type Curriculum for FooFoo who just turned 4.

Big news from the past few months Artsy Girl got married so we gained a son-in-love and an eight year old grandson.  I guess I should think of names for them also....Cake guy and KB.  Our son-in-love makes the most beautiful cakes. I like to say I that Artsy Girl got married and I gained a grandson....a wedding present for me, KB is very sweet and gets along very well with the girlies. :) We are glad to have them in our family.

Other big news.Our home sustained some serious hail damage in the early spring storms in our area.  So we...well mostly TopDad...have been doing lots of work on our home. With the help of friends, relatives and acquaintances we were able, in one day, to remove all the old aluminum siding and tear down 2 outbuildings that were damaged beyond repair.  I don't think those who helped will ever know what a HUGE blessing they were to us.  New roof, metal of course in a very pretty charcoal gray.  All new double hung vinyl replacement windows.  TopDad has put all new  crisp white vinyl siding on our home.  He is almost finished with it.  Then he will have to finish the trim and the gutters.  Hopefully we can make some cute board and batten shutters this winter.

Those are just the highlights....It has been a busy year here in the bluegrass. Thanking God for his abundant blessings as always.

Blessings,
TopMom
