I also took advantage of some time off of work on the weekends to plant the garden. This year I perhaps got a little more brave and decided to plant okra, squash, and beans on top of the old standbys (peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes). As you can see, the garden is doing quite nicely. Now if only the fire ants that have also taken up residence in the raised beds will leave the plants alone, we should be in business.
My niece,
Maria also celebrated her 9th birthday on May 1st! Leave it to kids to make you feel old. A "Happy Anniversary" also goes out to mom and dad who are in San Diego visiting Erin and her new house. Next on our agenda is a camping trip to Hickory Knob State Park just outside of McCormick. Looking forward to the kayaking! Then before you know it Aaron will be done with school (thoroughly enjoying his summer vacation) and we will be on our way home for a family wedding and graduation party.
This May 5th Aaron and I decided to have some fun with friends by hosting a Cinco de Mayo party. A great time was had by all! Our friend Jennie and dog Hildy came from Atlanta to visit on Friday night. Aaron met some friends at the bar on Saturday morning, while Jennie and I shopped and treated ourselves to pedicures. Once everyone arrived for the festivities we grilled and played bocce ball and red neck horse shoes. It was a nice time with lots of our friends and co-workers.
