Saturday is a special day.

It's was just one of those crazy busy days. Too much to do! It was our last Saturday to get things ready before we head to Arizona and Florida. So we just had fun instead.

Most of the day was spent at a park at Karl's work picnic , where their band entertained...or at least played background music while everyone ate and visited.

The picnic was scheduled for a month earlier but it had to be postponed...so now we are in to those 105° days. We were kind of dreading the heat. But surprisingly it was not too bad in the shade with the breeze. . Of course the band had to take a break and eat too! And to make it even better we won a $50.00 cash door prize


Then we had to think of costumes for Pam's (Karl's neice's ) 40th birthday party that evening. It was a Hollywood theme. Karl wanted to be Rocky but we lacked the boxing gloves. Here's what we came up with.

Any guesses? Clue: Karl was a celebrity on Hollywood Squares. Me? You guess...Anyway I won best male costume at the party and a Hollywood video gift certificate.

Now we still have to get all the "to-dos" list done before Friday and we both work everyday this week. Oh well... it's all good.

Gardening in Vegas

Gardening for us here in Las Vegas is alot different than it was in Pasco. It's kind of an expensive hobby. The ground is so poor and so hard we decided to try "Grow Boxes" and self watering pots. Our lot is so small that the grow boxes are kind of in the middle of the lawn. The apricots on the tree in the back will be ripe in about a week.
The squash and pepper are doing great. The tomatoes vines look great but just won't set any fruit.
This poor little squash is trying to survive in the native soil...I think the pillbugs are having a feast every night...at least someone or something is enjoying it.
Herbs do really good here.


We both have some farmer in us, so we keep trying...but when it comes to growing a garden we sure miss Pasco!
