The Blue Heron has been great. It was ridiculously busy on Saturday night and I was a little overwhelmed but there may be someone who is going to help me hostess, which would be awesome.
Gardening has also been great and pretty uneventful, except for my first day. Judy and I had weeded and mulched and planted and were watering when I started feeling a little dizzy. I walked toward the golf cart (because apparently golf carts are the only way to garden) and I remember reaching for the side. The next thing I remember is feeling asleep but there was a lot of noise and weird lights. Then I was sitting on the ground, looking over at Judy.
A combination of a lot of direct sun, little food and no water made me faint. But after I threw up I felt fine and have felt fine since. I think I scared Judy a little bit but once she saw I was OK, she seemed OK. Since then I've been wearing a hat, making sure I eat a good meal before going over and carrying around a water bottle.
I've realized that I really do like gardening and working outside. I hope the place I live after college has enough space for me to at least have some flowers and maybe an herb garden, because the other thing I've realized over the summer is that I love to cook.
I was in charge of my cousin Curry one night last week when both of his parents were gone and Grandmama had a dinner to take lots of cakes to. I decided to do some cooking with the rosemary Judy had given me and it was good times. I found a recipe from Rachael Ray for Balsamic and Rosemary Chicken. Good times. Grandmama also gets Taste of Home magazine and has some awesome recipes that I am so ready to try.
Curry and I also played some Battleship. I won.
At church last Sunday we honored our graduates and Majeed, an exchange student from Bahrain who stayed with one of the families from church for the past year and is getting ready to leave next week. We gave the graduates new Bibles that everyone then signed or underlined, etc. We did that for our seniors at CSF (Christian Student Fellowship at UR) and I thought it was a good idea to steal. They were all guys. One is leaving for the Marine Reserves in July, another the Coast Guard in October and the last is working on his step dad's farm. They're good guys whom we are going to miss.

And then there are always cute pictures of the dog.
She likes to stay in the car after a car ride. I know. Weird.
This is how we spend our afternoons.
It's either naps or blogging.
