zukes!

We came home to a note in our fridge propped up against a zucchini stating that it came from our garden. I thought Sara was playing a joke since I was certain I was barely going to yield anything from all this effort.

But it was true!

So I ran out there early the next morning and there was another one! WOO HOO! Notice there are also 4 yellow wax beans in my right hand. I wasn't sure to make of those, but David snatched them right up and had no problem eating them. So, I guess they won't go to waste.

There is one medium-ish sized tomato hanging on the vine right now, just toying with me about if and when it might turn red. Hmmm. But, my friend Kelli did make me feel better last night during our little garden inspection - saying she had read alot about tomato plants being delayed in production this year because of all the rain, and that heirlooom are "late bloomers." So, true or not - I'll take it!

Stay tuned for photos of award-winning tomatoes (I hope sooner than later).

We're back! After an amazing week in Grenada, its back to reality! It was such a difference island than the Dominican (honeymoon spot-and last all inclusive vaca). It small, so peaceful, friendly and surprisingly clean and safe. Its off-season for travelers now, so our resort had about 50 people there all week.

Aside from not having our luggage for the first 48 hours, washing our clothes in the sink on the first night just in case we need them, having to shop at the local "mall" for necessities, wearing the same outfits to dinner on the first 2 nights because that was all we had...we had a pretty seamless trip!

We did NOTHING all week, and loved it! There were activities you could do all day every day, but we only did a few aquacise and pool volleyball sessions. I read 3 books, and David even read one! yay! It was just what we needed to relax.



The arrival sign. At this point I am super pumped about vaca - that is all about to change in about an hour after we get through immigration and I watch David walk around the luggages piles (who need conveyors?) in a panic of not finding ours.

Cheers!

Our friends dad & stepmom live in Grenada, so we were able to join them to eat at two local restaurants and to feed the Mona Monkeys. They were hungry. After this guy, above, took off climbing all over David for that banana, I became the official photo-taker. I was not about to get clawed to death for yellow fruit. But, Tony and David were brave. I have great video and will try to get those uploaded soon!

Enjoy all the pics from vaca!
