Don's parents came for a visit, and we spent a nice weekend with "Mimi and Granddad."
Cooper and I went to Memphis with my mom to visit her college roommate and longtime-friend, Alice. While there, we went to an orchard and picked peaches, which Cooper loved! We are still enjoying them.
My garden is giving us lots of goodies, and Cooper's sunflowers opened up. We have since cut them down and are drying them so we can hopefully eat some of the seeds. We've gotten some potatoes too, squash and LOTS of tomatoes. We've had so many cherry tomatoes that I am just having to let some of them rot because we can't eat them or even give them away fast enough.
Cooper is so inquisitive, learning new things every day. He is going through a very sweet stage that we are enjoying (almost) every minute of.
Still no news for Don on the job front. Prayers are appreciated as he continues to search and fill out applications, waiting for a phone call or e-mail. He gets very frustrated and discouraged some days.
We are looking forward to starting back to Community Bible in a couple of weeks. I am so thankful that Cooper loves learning about the word of God. He goes around the house singing Bible songs and loves our Bible story time each morning. We pray daily that he will grow to know and love Jesus and live for Him, and we are blessed to see that happening.

Loving your garden. I'm so jealous. Everything in mine died. I have grubs. I have to get rid of them before I can try to plan for the fall. But right now it's just so blasted hot, everything is crispy outside. I'm glad you have such a great garden at a time that you're probably watching your finances extra carefully. God provides. : ) Loving the canning too...(previous post).
