Summer!

Sorry it's been awhile since I've blogged. We've been busy, Well the garden as been keeping me busy. Everything seems to be growing! corn, melon, watermelon, onion, cucumber & tomatoes! Soon I want to grow pumpkins but I have to see when is the best time to do that...maybe now. Next year I want to grow more stuff, but we'll see. The weathers been really HOT! the record highs are around 108F°, but at least if we set outside we can get cool just by setting under a tree, and also drinking plenty of water. A week ago we also went to Dallas for a few weeks! Joey went down there for training. The Hotel was just three miles from downtown Dallas, And Destiny had lot's of fun....every evening we did something or went somewhere. I took almost four hundred pics during those weeks. I only showed couple of them. We went to the Zoo, Putt putt, Rangers game, Aquarium, Medieval times & just went shopping & went out to eat. This weekend we want to go camping but we'll see. I haven't been camping in so long, I love fishing & doing all that camping stuff. I also remember last summer when we went camping LOL!!! I lost a tooth:D it's all fixed now though. Well you all enjoy the rest of summer!!!:D
