there you go...

well, I'm home. Good to be home but also sad to leave. We had a blast with Debbie and Dennis and I got some really good pictures to scrap. Ate a ton of yummy food too. I went and watered my plants tonight and was so happy. Some of them had been looking a little, well, dead. I asked our good neighbor Dan to water them while I was away and all of them look sooo much better. Have to find a way to keep Dan taking care of my plants! It's nice to have flowers during the summer here. in Mesa you could just forget anything flowering or growing practically except for some cactus. just too dang hot. but i planted some blackberry bushes here and have actually eaten a few berries off said plants. that was too cool. so i included some pics of my lovely berry bushes. Anna and Haley eat them with me but Haley refuses to call them anything but strawberries. if i correct her she tells me very forcibly that they are strawberries. well, back to normal life tomorrow. did i just say normal? you know what i mean...L
