Hello,
Have I mentioned the fact that I can’t believe we’re more than halfway through the year already.
My folks were out of town for the weekend and I was tasked with getting their mail and newspapers. But more importantly to tend to their garden. I love it when they ask me to do that because I score some awesome herbs and veggies. The most recent haul consisted of zucchini, basil, oregano and some swiss chard.
Their basil plants are on steroids!
I ran about 2 miles to their house and then 2 miles back.
My body has been giving me some grief lately. My knee, is a bit wonky so I need to stay on flat ground and take walk breaks every so often. Also, the arch of my foot (on the same side as the knee) has been hurting (which i most definitely believe one is related to the other). And my left hip is still mildly sore. Batting 1000!
On Saturday I took a drive upstate to visit my friend Nicole. I spent some quality time with her (almost) 5 year old daughter.
I’m surrounded by cuteness
I think I want a pair of silver sparkle jellies too
And she made the best cake. It had hot pink frosting and marshmallow icing in-between the two layers of pink cake.
Pink poodle, pink cake. We take pink very seriously
Duncan and I being silly
On Sunday I spent about 5 hours over at Mr. SOTSS’ to hang with Chester while Mr. SOTSS and his girls were away for the day.
You mean he’s not going to be home ALL DAY?
Chester gets depressed when his dad isn’t around but he was happy that I was there to feed him dinner and let him out in the yard and maybe he enjoyed watching the Olympic trials with me and Duncan?

I took advantage of the Chester-sitting visit to use Mr. SOTSS’ grill and grilled up all my garden loot. And while I was at it I grilled shrimp too.

I cut up the basil into ribbons and sprinkled it on the zucchini and the shrimp and then doctored everything up with olive oil, salt, pepper and some garlic.
Dinner is served! Grilled zucchini and shrimp. And I ate outside on the deck since it was so nice out
In other weekend news, Duncan went to the groomer.
Before and After
And now he smells delicious. I hope your week is off to a good start.
Do you have a barbecue? Do you like to grill?
Do you have a garden? What do you grow? I’m waiting for tomatoes, peppers and corn to come from my dad’s garden in the coming weeks.
