Most of my garden survived all our travels,
my basil particularly loving the summer heat!
Tomatoes are slow growing this year . . .
Zinneas are finally popping!
And I harvested my first beet!
Cucumbers on their way!

Monday afternoon, Kate got to start Horse Camp with neighbor friends!
Out in the country every HOT afternoon this week
but these girls don't care - they LOVE horses!

Kate has her last Wednesday morning basketball practice of the summer - and her assignment was to make a posterboard/report of an athlete she admires. She chose Yusra Martini - the Syrian refugee swimmer! She worked hard on her report and was so excited to share it with her team!
We sent a picture of Kate with her poster to the actual Yusra Martini and she left a message for Kate!
These coaches have been so awesome practicing with these girls every Wednesday morning from 7:30 - 8:30 a.m. this summer!

Already almost 90 degrees out!
Kate set up our living room to be a "vet clinic and spa" -
The Pampering station . . .

Kate and I returned to "Hot yoga" this week, as we
knew it must be cooler than it was outside!
She loves to trot and run!
Hard for her to leave the stables . . .
Goodbye Kate . . .
Goodbye Tator Tot . . .
Friday night pizza making with neighbor Charley!
Saturday I couldn't leave early enough to go pick up Molly and friends from camp! I was SO Excited to get her! Oh how we all have missed her around the house!
Tired, happy, and faith on fire!!!!

Mike and I went to see one of my FAVORITE comedians Saturday night at Starlight Theatre . . . no pictures to show as they confiscated our phones when we arrived - but it was a great time!
Sunday afternoon the girls and I went to see Matilda the Musical at the White Theatre at the JCCC - it was the last day of it showing and the girls had been wanting to see it. It was a great production!
