Well today provided quite a bit of variety. We changed our piano lesson time to 11AM for the summer. Today was the first day at the new time. So, while Sam and Sophie were at their lessons, Wilson and Claire and I had to find a way to entertain ourselves. We decided to visit a new Goodwill in that part of town. Wow! Did Claire make out like a bandit. Wilson found for her a round Minnie Mouse, that looks like a decorated basketball with ears. She loves it, and it came all the way from Disney World. And as if she weren’t happy enough with that, he also found her an awesome little wooden kitchen set.

It’s too cute. It even has a towel bar and a pot hanging rack. It had one little spot on it where the previous owner had chipped the wood/paint … but that was nothing a “paint pen” couldn’t fix. It’s as good as new!! … and only cost $9.99. That beats $125 any day. Wilson found himself another golf bag, because, as you know, we have a shortage of those here. I found Sam a hardcover version of one of the books he likes to read for fun.

When we got home, Sophie and I went out to the garden and found six cherry tomatoes, one really ripe large tomato, and four cucumbers to harvest. Today’s harvest actually covered the bottom of the basket. Even more exciting … there are a TON more cukes and tomatoes; and we saw a few teeny-tiny zuchini and squash growing. Hurray!! Summer’s here.

Garden as of May 25th
