Summertime!

This is my last weekend before school starts this week. I have had a good summer. My mom belongs to a Community Supported Agriculture garden. She (I have gone on a few occasions) once a week on Wednesdays and works for 3 hours and brings home a bushel full of fresh fruits and vegetables that we have been eating all summer. It is amazing how well we feel after eating "FRESH" all summer.

Today we went to the garden to learn more about canning. When I was little my mom canned quite a bit. There is something about eating "FRESH" all summer that I do not want to stop after the growing season. Today we canned salsa, "HOT" peppers, and tomatoes. OH MY! How I wish I could bottle up the smells and make a scented blog post. We bought peaches today and will be canning them on Monday afternoon.

Damon and Mom are going to a NASCAR race tomorrow. It has been on the bucket list for Damon, even though he does not call it a bucket list. I am not going...I don't want to watch cars go around and around a track. I am sure that I will have plenty of pictures to look at...

Have a great day!

July

WOW...this sure has been a month. We moved, I had a birthday, I went to Girls Camp for church...and my car was broken into.Not at camp...but at home :( They busted a window out and took Damon's wallet. There was no money in it...but just the problem of calling and cancelling things and then requesting new cards and such. When it rains, it pours. We were able to go to my sisters and Zoe's new house and enjoy a cook out. You give the grandma's some "Special" drink and you never know what will happen! It is hot...also trying to catch up with some laundry. Watch out Granger people...make sure things are buttoned up tight...they are hitting the neighborhoods.

Spring...

I love spring time. It is a time for renewal, a time for change, and a time for forgiveness. Things are very busy in the Hatch family. It is spring break from work this week...but it has not been much of a break so far! Hope all is well...

A New Year

Well...it is that time of year that I look back on the back year and think of how things went. There were good times, there were bad times...happy and sad. I am looking at my last full semester of my undergraduate degree. This has been a long time coming.

It is back to work tomorrow...I have missed my little friends...but I have also liked being home. I did not accomplish much...but it was nice.

I was released as the secretary in the Young Women's program at church...hoping that there is something else out there for me to do. I know that it sounds silly...but I must start thinking of what I would like to do this summer.

I am wishing that the winds pick up tonight and that mother nature showers us with more snow. I could use another day of not using an alarm clock!

Happy New Year!
