Waterfront Property

On Saturday, Tropical Storm Hannah made its way through our area. I had a flower
pot that had about 8 inches of stored rain it. That's a lot of water. It was a lot of rain!
We were lucky the storm had downgraded from a hurricane so we didn't have trees
down, power outages and lots of damage.

I think Lexy is enjoying our backyard stream.

Canning Peaches

On Saturday, I finished canning peaches. I think I did 38 quarts and at least a dozen half pints.
I did some peach jam and will make some peach pit jelly this week. I don't know why I do
this to myself, except that I always have and I guess I enjoy it. They taste good and they look
nice on the shelves, but I think I enjoy the accomplishment I feel the most.

A Knitwit Creation

Lexy saw these being demonstrated on a Martha Stewart show a couple of weeks ago. We went to Target and bought some funky socks and made a crazy Knitwit.

At Route 11 Potato Chips Store, Middletown, VA

Mark and Lexy may just turn into a spud if they stand there long enough.
Look what happened to Jacque!

First Day of 7th Grade

Lexy's ready for her first day of Seventh Grade at Lake Ridge Middle School. It even turned out to be a pretty good day!

Creme Brulee

Friday night we went to this wonderful restaurant in Manassas and we got the last Creme Brulee. It was divine!
