What I did on my summer vacation.... What summer vacation?

We have been going at light speed since my last post.  We have stayed in town more than we did last summer, to be sure.  We determined to only go south to visit my parents once a month rather than every other week.  That has been nice, not traveling as much. 

However, we did decide to try running a booth at our local farmers market.  That has been fun, but takes half a day twice a month.  We haven't made a living at it, but have enjoyed all the other vendors and getting to visit with market visitors.  Our children even did an Irish dance demonstration one Saturday.  Of course, they pulled me in and I did two dances with them (my first performance in public) and it was fun.  We hope to do it again next year.

Our garden is growing!  Wow!  That has been fun this year.  It has been so neat eating produce from our own backyard.  We'd like to expand next year.  We also ate some chicken, well, more specifically, the rooster.  You will find a picture of him on the blog.  He was tasty though.  We'd like to do more of that next year too.

I haven't figured out how to load pictures from the new camera, well, even how to get them off yet, but I think I might be able to figure it out by Christmas!

We have done one camping trip this year.  We went to Silver City, Idaho, a ghost town of sorts.  There are now residents up there, not the ghosts, but not year-round.  We were up there as extras in a western short some friends were helping out with.  That was great fun!

My dear love is getting ready for elk and deer season.  This will be his second.  I hope he gets one this year.  He wants to try bow hunting some year.

I painted the living room and kitchen, the master bathroom, the half-bath downstairs and the guest bedroom.  Whew!  I did those painting jobs during my loves business trips because he doesn't like it when I change the colors.  He likes the new looks, but the process just kills him.  I'm liking the changes, very refreshing.

Let's see, what else.  Oh yes, we are planning to move this fall.  We have decided to sell our home, so if anyone is planning a move to Idaho, we have a cute, new home for you!  Really.  We plan to list it on Craig's List.  We haven't finished interviewing real estate agents, such a tedious process, but need to soon.  Of course the chickens will go with us and the two cats too, but we'll leave the new shed.  :O)

Thanks for stopping by to see what I did on my summer vacation.  I hope yours was slower paced.
