Garden Success

Hi from Austin,

I took a couple of photos as we now have eggplants and bell peppers ripening on the vine. I now feel if the economy gets worse I will be able to provide for my family. That is if they can live off one pepper and an eggplant for the year. Here is a picture of 3 of 4 of the eggplants. We actually named them and Herman didn't make the photo. This has been an interesting project from planter design, to building to planting. We will have to research fall planting for when the weather drops below 90.

Got back from eatting bbq in Memphis all week and had to burn it off with a 5 hour ride.

Update on 1112 Studer -- I'm signing the lease on Monday!!!!

After three trips to Houston looking for place to rent for a year, I finally found the place. PJ will have a yard with two gates to jump over. I will have 2000 square feet to buy new furniture.

The house is a block behind the shop Mom has been working at since I was in high school. Starting to look for dog parks so maybe PJ won't jump over the gates.

The real estate agent called today looking for my credit report. I should find out tomorrow if I get the place. More to come on new furniture.
John -- how many people are feeding these days? Are you going to cook like that when I come in for Labor Day?

Lazy Sunday

Hi Everyone! This weekend, I got Mom and Dad to go to free yoga at Barton Springs Pool and then go for a swim. I went to see Wicked with a Laura, Mary Lou, and Marie. Then we had chicken and brisket that Dad smoked with some neighbors and friends. It continues to be too hot here in Austin.

Today, we stopped by Marie's birthday party at an art studio. They decorated mirrors with big wooden frames. Some were prettier than others. The studio was nice, I would like to go back myself and create mosaics on something for the kitchen or garden.

Tomorrow, Claire starts her sophomore year of high school. Dad will be in Memphis for the week, so you can call him in the evenings, when he might be bored. Laura is in Austin until August 28.

Happy Birthday, Mom!
