Summer's End

This will be the last weekend before Cheo starts school so we are trying to squeeze in a few diversions. I unfortunately have to work but if we get up early enough we'll get some things done. This summer we moved into our own place with practically nothing but after a crazy 4th of July weekend with my folks we had a fully furnished and equipped starter apartment. The weather finally got hot enough that required us to use fans. We made limbers and watched terrible movies into the wee hours of the morning. We've experimented in the kitchen and have pulled off more successful dishes than failures. We learned the art of farmers marketing and buying fruits and veggies for 2 weeks for under 10 bucks. We've traveled/walked all over Boston and ended up in Salem one day. Cheo got used to living without a car and I acquired muscular definition in my legs.

And today we found quenepas. Thats all we really needed to make the summer complete.

Lyannie, I enjoy reading your stories so much! You really need to write a book, it doesn't matter the topic, I know you will be a success! It sounds like you both have had a very interesting summer and have learned much. I'm excited that you have mastered the art of cooking! Sooooooo, your papi is expecting a meal when we see you in about 2 weeks. No, he doesn't want restaurant bought food. He wants something homemade by you! LOL.

Love ya, momma
