July 7th, 2012: Dominoes

Today was a lovely day.  I would like the weather to stay just like this.  Not sweltering to the point where you just become drenched by being outside for a few minutes.  When you can sit in the shade and just enjoy.

I only spent a little time outside today but it was nice enough for me to pick a few weeds out of my garden.  It seriously needs some weeding and it is so hard to get too much of it done when it's so toasty out. You can kind of tell in this photo.  All the little extra weeds growing not in a row are not wanted.  I've worked a bit on the corn row and some in the not pictured cucumbers, kohlrabi, and lettuce rows.  Still got plenty to do.

This evening I spent some time at Chad's parents house.  They made us pork chops and I thought they were good(I guess his mom thought they were over done but I've had dryer meat before).  I haven't had pork chops in ages.  They also gave us a huge dessert helping of angel food cake, homemade whipped topping, and different kinds of berries.  I was stuffed to the brim.

I'm just glad we decided to eat inside because while looking at some pictures on their deck a daddy long leg crawled across my shoulder and I had to throw it off of me.  I'm not afraid of spiders but no one likes things crawling on them. No one. Especially close to the face.

After dinner we played a rousing game of Mexican Train Dominoes.  I haven't gotten to play dominoes in quite awhile.  The past few times I've been home to Montana we didn't play it.  I definitely missed playing it and look forward to the chance to teach them how to play Chicken Foot Dominoes.  Hopefully this time we'll have a chance to beat Chad who had some amazing luck playing for his first time.  I was in last most of the game but then I think I might've ended up in second at the end.

All-in-all it was a great time and I'm glad I have the opportunity to spend time with Chad and his family.

Goodnight!
