Not-so-tall, after all....

Summer happening #4: Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe: $6.50. Ten days with awesome friends and family at Indian Springs Camp: Priceless! We rocked the Glen Tab for the third year in a row, got promoted from a single wide trailer to a real cottage (read:ghetto shanty), and dragged our friends Chris and Laura along for the ride.
Summer happening #3: Our garden. What can I say? It did well in April through June (as you can tell by the chest-high cherry toms), but by mide June, it died. Why does Texas have to be so insanely hot? I mean, its fry-an-egg-on-the-pavement hot. I think this place gives hell a run for its money. Suffice it to say, after a $140 water bill, I gave up trying to coax the plants along. Today, it looks like I'm growing tumbleweeds.
Summer happening #1: So we finally had Darcy bred. All in all, not a bad experience (the breeding part, I mean). Jed was tall and dark and handsome, and make quick work of doing his studly deed. After 63-ish days, the pups arrived, and thus began 13 weeks of absolute hell. Cute and adorable, yes. But impossible to sell. Let's just say all pride was stripped away by week 13. Imagine B, M and E parked in front of Walmart with a crate and a sign. I feel your pity. Thank you.

Did I say soon? So I lied. What can I say - either life is way too boring to chronicle, or way to busy. Which one? Depends on the day. Okay, since I have nothing else to do but watch reruns of "House MD" or "Law and Order", and the sweetwife is out-of-towning, here goes....
