Your Steak — Medium, Rare or Cloned?

Be advised that you may soon be eating cloned meat and dairy.  And even worse, the FDA is not requiring it to be labeled.....so you won't have any idea.

Another great reason to buy organic.  Always.  No. Matter. What.

Your Steak — Medium, Rare or Cloned?

Throwback Friday

Some of my boys from Honduras.

Throwback Friday

(scroll down and pause music before viewing)

Gabe has been spending time coming up with his own hip hop dance style after watching a boy breakdance during the Talent Show at Family Camp.  

The only thing that keeps me from falling on the floor laughing is that he's super serious about it.  Watch out Diddy.

Again?

Apparently I did not explain plethora last time?

(bonus points for the re-hanging of the lavendar, btw)

This time we even got a little dry-your-hands-off bonus.

All told, 29 rolls.

Harvesting

We made a trip out to the garden this morning.  Packed a picnic and enjoyed some quiet* time on the farm.  There is nothing like a summer breeze in the country.  

*as quiet as it gets with gaggle in tow

Madeline surprised us with a dinner appetizer of fresh veggies, tossed with balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.  What a beautiful presentation.  I am fairly sure you will see her on the Food Network someday.

As I am about to hit, "Publish" Madeline walked in and asked if she could make a fruit salad to go with our dinner.  

Did I just win the lottery??

Family Camp Preview

We had an incredible time  at Family Camp.  It was amazing.  I don't think I've ever been so compelety whipped returning from a vacation.....but, that's ok!  

Here's a preview of our week together:

The challenge was to climb the pole, stand on top of it and try to wack the tether ball.  Many attempted, few were successful.  

It will surprise no one that Ron climbed that pole like a squirrel and wacked the ball with little effort.  That's my man.

Happy 10 year anniversary babe!

And since all time for me is referenced by children - this was 2 kids ago.
