It is hot as blue blazes here. The past week (and the coming week) most of our highs are in the 100 degree neighborhood. Yuck. Thank God that we don't have the humidity that the south does. We would all be toast!
We got to cool off a bit Saturday by going to the lake with some friends who recently bought a boat. We had a really good time although we should have reapplied some sunscreen... I got to go on the tube, which is my favorite! I got a little cocky and told them faster! go in a circle! faster!. Riiiiight. Needless to say, the spill I took was a good one.

Feast your eyes on David's legs! They don't come out very often!
I've got a question for y'all: When you were a kid and said the "God is great, God is good, let us thank him for this food" blessing, did you stop there or was there more? I add "By His hands, we are fed, give us Lord, our daily bread." I seem to be the only person for miles around who has ever heard of this last part. Am I alone on this?!
Last night I made Granny's squash casserole and we all really liked it. It was different than the kind I usually make but a nice change of pace! We also had cucumber salad with it so two dishes with food from the garden! There was something very satisfying about that...
Get yourselves ready for news from the garden tomorrow. Unfortunately , it will contain news of a villinous murder. Got any bets on who kicked it?!
Footnote: I have come to the realization that I have indeed formed a habit of this working out stuff. I have a goal that I am working toward and will let you know more about that when the time comes. Does this, then, make my posting of exercise stuff just boastful? I hate to axe Footnote just as soon as I started it!! Aaghh. Friday: boxing, Saturday: bike 11 miles and Sunday: swim 500 meters.

Glad you liked the casserole....I only make it when we have company..the plain squash and onion is our favorite....boxing! doesn't your body get all bruised?
Granny
Greg's sister always said the blessing for them and always stopped at the first part. We always added the rest when we said it. My family also used to sing some of our blessings!
I know the footnotes were probably added to keep you motivated and make you feel more accountable, but now that you realize you are actually doing it on your own (and dare I say, enjoying yourself?) I can see where you feel it might just be bragging, but you still are inspiring and it's good to report, so my vote is to keep us posted on the Footnotes.
I learned the last part of the blessing, too. However, once I heard others stop, I began to keep my fingers crossed that whoever was saying it would stop there, too, because I just wanted to eat! (Does this really surprise anybody?)
I agree w/Andria - keep the Footnotes. And Good Luck meeting your mysterious goal!
