Some of my Garden

We drove up to Baltimore to buy some tile for our kitchen/family area, and spent the weekend with our friends, George and Phyllis. As usual we had a delicious dinner, Salmon cooked on a cedar plank with a cucumber/dill sauce, rice pilaf with fresh veggies from the garden and sliced tomatoes. Jim and I took some peaches up for them...YES we went back to the orchard on Friday and picked some huge ones. They are the size of an Angelina's crabcake for those of you that know what that means. I made 7 jars of Jam and froze the rest for us.

G&P are going to visit us and bring their baby *Freebie* who is the biggest black lab I ever saw in my life. The photo is from a year ago. She's gotten bigger. We were laughing about how she is going to fit in their trailer when they take off for Fla. in the winter. I don't think they will have any room for guests!!

It took us forever to get home on sunday afternoon what with the Bay Bridge being closed and the usual beach traffic.We were both tired from the night before. We stayed up into the wee hours just talking and only had a few
hours sleep.

The cats seemed to get along ok while we were away. It was Beau 's first time without his Mommy and the girls didn't do him in. He's such a pest to them most of the time. He's gotten so big, he looks like a miniature cat now, not a kitten.

I'm really loving the TV show Mad Men. That's how things were in those days. What a difference now. I remember when you could smoke anywhere, even in the hospital or Drs. office. At my first job, we all had ash trays on our desks . Amazing.
