Happy Father’s Day, John!

We are back from our little vacation with our son and his kids. We ate a lot of marginal food – burgers, pizza, tacos, etc., anything that the kids wanted. There really was not much to blog about. I brought along some banana cake that I actually made and a bunch of snickerdoodles that our dear daughter made. She is the cookie queen. I ate no cake and no cookies, I had a slice of watermelon or two and a bite of John’s ice cream. That’s pretty good I think.

These are roses from our rose bush that I don’t mind cutting since we cannot see the rose bush from any window in our house or from sitting in the backyard. I figure to enjoy the roses I might as well cut them.

I also harvested my first tomato today that did not have blossom-end rot. I imagine we will be having the ceremonial cutting of the tomato later today.

Tonight we will start cooking again, planning menus, and eating at home. Yay!
