Weekend

We had a great weekend. Stuart came home from Omaha after his flight was cancelled and we were excited to see him. Especially the kids! Stuart, Ashley, and John went to the Farmer's market in downtown Dandridge. He picked-up green beans, blackberries, free-range eggs, and honey. He also bought a few honey sticks for the kids. A farmer gave Stuart a paper on Bee Pollen it was very interesting. Basically, from what I gathered bee pollen is good for everything from your immune system to your sex drive. Wow. Sign me up! A lady had a booth with fresh herbs. When Ashley walked by the lady asked Ashley if she knew the names of the herbs. Ashley named everyone and she was impressed.

I fixed new potatoes from Stuart's garden with green beans. Jacob picked 3lbs of blackberries from the woods near our house. Later Jacob was outside screaming and yelling for Stuart. All the sudden Mojo burst in the door. He had hornets all over him. Stuart got stung on the ankle. I took off running what a sight to see. Jacob sometimes just does not think. The neighbor was pulling out a huge rock and there was a hornets nest under the rock. His little girl who is 4, our neighbor Josh, his wife, Mojo, and Stuart all got stung. Mojo is named for good luck and he is just that because he had many hornet swarm over him. He probably saved Josh and his daughter from getting stung more. I not really sure if that is the truth because I was not at the scene.

Stuart took the kids to a water park in Morristown to play for a few hours. We had company over about 8:00 and made Mojitos. Fresh mint leaves, limes, sugar, rum, and club soda. Yum! It was fun to have company over and we were all the same age. Josh 38, Kelly 38, Paige 38, and Stuart 41. I will sadly turn 39 this week and Kelly that was visiting turns 39 on 28Th of July. We had a fire out side and listened to music. They left at 12:30.

Today, I ran a mile--Yeah. I will have to find someway to keep up with Stuart. Jacob picked more blackberries and I made two big cobbler's. Blackberries, sugar, butter, flour, brown sugar, oatmeal and baked for an hour at 350. Jacob took one to our neighbors..Mike and Joyce. He likes hanging out with Mike who likes restoring cars. We played outside tonight in the front yard playing soccer and riding their bikes. I fixed a salad with blueberries, cranberries, pumpkins seeds, mixed greens, and shredded carrots. I served the salad with whole wheat wraps.
