holy ZUCCHINI !!!

A few months ago Geoffrey and I started a garden on the side of the house. Turns out it the location couldn't have been more perfect. Our garden yielded many squash and zucchini during the month of June and early July and now the attention has turned to tomatoes. While I was out picking the tomatoes (today's yield was 15) I noticed a rather large dark green thing that caught my eye. It looked a zucchini, but was much too large. As I reached down I discovered it was indeed a zucchini! I doubt this will win any awards, nor will it taste that great, but it sure looks cool. It measured in at 17" and I have the tape measure to prove it.

General wasn't sure what to make of the large zucchini. He loves zucchini, but normally its already been sliced.

Gizmo says, "maybe if I sit real still, my mom will chop it up into lots and lots of treats."

hot-lanta & the airshow

This weekend was a busy one, though very fun. Early early Friday morning, I dropped off Geoffrey, Dad Buescher and Jerry at Dulles airport. They were on their way to Detriot for the Thunder Over Michigan Airshow. (pictures to come later, Geoffrey is color correcting them). Later that afternoon, Coelle and I hopped on a plane down to Atlanta to visit Katie and check out all the home improvement projects she and Michael had completed on their house. Didn't take many pictures as we didn't do a whole lot...which was great. It was a weekend of hanging out and relaxing and getting in some quality girl time. At the same time Geoffrey was getting his fill of airplanes and getting some fun times in with the other airplane lovers in his life.
Coelle was in charge of Margaritas...which are the only pictures I snapped.
