Thank yous...

We've had some help from friends this week. One friend printed our invitations for us. We did the layout, which seemed to take FOR-EV-ER and he was kind enough to get them printed and returned to us quickly. We did such a great job at procrastinating that I was worried we got them to our friend too late but he was great and we got them back with plenty of time to spare.

Another friend is a scrapbooking genious! We told her what we were hoping to do and she told us exactly what we would need to do it. We bought the supplies and she came over when we had eveything ready to go. She was awesome. She knew the best way to run the assembly line and we had the stickers created and invitations attached in no time!

So I say Thank You! To our friends that we cherish and appreciate. Thank you.

See how our garden grows!

So we are continuing to be excited about our garden. We have little jalapenos that are about an inch long. We have flowers on the zucchini, tomatillos, roma tomatoes and the eggplant - which I am hoping will mean they might produce soon! We compared the before and after pictures to see how much they have grown and I am impressed. We have had to water them pretty regularly though as we are not having any luck with rain.

We had a squirrel that used to hang out in our yard all the time last fall and apparently he has wreaked havoc for me! We have a purple emporer planted and it seems there are hundreds of little offshoots from this plant. That darn squirrel must have broken apart one of the root balls and moved them around! They are everywhere. I spent some time last weekend "weeding" to get it under control but I think I need to continue doing more this weekend too. I don't think I knew how much I would invest emotionally in this garden, but I have. I know M has too. My mother must be proud!

Time to make some breffis before getting some good going done for the day!

Our garage sale!

Our garage sale!, originally uploaded by somegoodgoing.

Our condo association was having a garage sale. We decided to take the opportunity to clean out our basement. The weather was perfect, it was mid 70s and sunny.

At the point of this picture, we had made $66.50! We were both pretty impressed since neither one of us has ever been part of a garage sale before. So we ended up at $68.50, which is better than if we hadn't done it, and we had fewer things to haul back down into the basement! Yeah! The president of the condo association said we might do this again in the fall. We have learned a valuable lesson, if someone shows an interest in something, you tell them a price, if they put it down, lower the price! We also decided that garage sales might only be a good idea if it is a community wide thing, you will get more foot traffic than doing this on your own.
