Father's Day

On Sunday, Father's Day, Mom and I made cocoa applesauce muffins, with the homemade applesauce. They smelled like chocolate, but didn't really taste like it, so that was decieving. They tasted good though.
After we went to church, we came home and had chef's salad for lunch. Then we were just helping Amy get ready for the church camp she left for that afternoon. We took her to the church around 3:30, and after she got signed in, we hung around some, then said goodbye and left.
Around 6, some friends came over for dinner, and we ate shish kabobs. They were so good! We enjoyed spending time with the family. They have three boys, and I was playing with them in the backyard and it was really fun.

Mom got dad this skillet that you can cook vegetables and things in on the grill.
He was excited.

He did a great job grilling the shish kabobs.



These are them on the grill. There was meat, tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, onions, and mushrooms on the shish kabobs.

We had a nice time visiting together.

We also had a fun time.

From the applesauce making, we have 3 full quart jars that are in the fridge. We didn't can them, we just stored them in jars.
We have been going to the pool lots this week. Mom likes to go so she can swim laps, because it helps her back, and she also likes us to go so we can help pay off the passes, and so we can get exercise. When we went on Wednesday, we had a nice time swimming, but we also met a nice lady. It's always nice when we meet nice people or see people we know.

On Wednesday I found this really interesting morning glory. The seeds we bought were for royal blue flowers, but the one I found was white with purple and blue streaks. It was really different, and pretty.

Gardening season in Texas is so different from everywhere else. We have been getting tomatoes, but no beans yet. We have lots of morning glories; we had seven this morning, and lots of grass. Our apple season is finished because we have an early apple tree. We have a lot of zinnias growing in the beds around the mailbox.

This morning there were 7 morning glories.

There are also quite a few ripe tomatoes.
