10 bucks

Do you know what 10 bucks can buy you?

I actually weighed them on a scale...

90lbs of tomatoes!!!!!!!

So we decided to can them but during the 5 hour process, Oliver got bored and started playing with a dropped ice cube...

Oh it's the little things in life :)

We ended up getting about 6 jars of salsa and 11 jars of tomato sauce.  We had a little trouble with some of them sealing properly which means that we'll be eating a ton of tomatoes this week! :)

Savannah

Grey took me on a last hurrah before school started.  It was one of my favorite vacations ever.  Savannah is quite the historic, gorgeous, spooky town.  I LOVED it.

Peppermint tea before we left!  My throat was hurting!

Bad storms on the way down there

Our B&B had our names everywhere - on our door, on our place setting at the table...

Back of B&B

Before dinner the first night

WOO HOO!

See the steeple in between?

Where Forest Gump sat waiting on his mom  - we saw the famous bench place also but the picture I got wasn't "blog worthy"

Juliette Low was the founder of the Girl Scouts!

Low's house

This block closed at 6 every day due to intense paranormal activity...Everywhere else around Savannah likewise closed extremely early.

Dinner on the last night

I forgot to get a picture of the front of the church (totally lame) but this church was awesome!  Completely built by slaves, it also was a major spot for the underground railroad.

 Inside you could only take pictures if there were people in them, enter G-dawg

These holes allowed runaway slaves in the tunnels below to breathe. They were all over the bottom floor of the church. 

Paula Deen's restaurant.  It was pretty good - they messed up my order though.... :(

LOVED Savannah.  You should go.

Recent Happenings

1. Grey has 4-FOUR-days left before school starts.  I thankfully still have 2 weeks.  My heart rate and blood pressure have slightly been on the rise.


2. I got so frustrated with my quilt making that I rolled it up in a ball and threw it.


3. My pops bought me a new camera...it's like a big deal...like a brush the air off your left shoulder kind of deal...
I like it.
A lot.


4. I got my first app playing item - an ipod touch.  Saved my butt off for like 4 months and finally got enough to get one.  Grey and I are obsessed.  Temple Run and Words with friends, here we come!


5. We asked our next door neighbor, the same one who refused the casserole, to watch our kitties and water our garden for the week that we were gone.  We left some money for her as a thank you and she once again refused to take it. Moral of the story?  Find people to do favors for you and when you thank them, they actually appreciate it instead of being too prideful to take it.  My heart hurts for her.


6. Nora asked for "her Grey" this week. :)

Zoo

We took Nora to the zoo yesterday and Kristi let me try out her fancy dancy camera.  (Thanks Kristi and thanks Dad for the lessons!)
