And it's FRIDAY (Already?????)

 Wow!

What a week!

I'm getting my first real taste of being 

a Relief Society President and all that

it entails... Whew!

Thank goodness for brief visits to the beach

for some "down time" to just relax and 

listen to the surf.

Yesterday Kyle and I went to watch a rocket.

It got scrubbed, but we enjoyed our time anyway.

There was a crazy plane making HUGE ovals in the sky.

We had a great time arguing over the shape.

Was it an oval?

Was it a letter D?

We decided it was a hurricane hunter doing practice runs.

He did them over and over and over!

You can see his latest, and two previous!

My neck is a little stiff from looking at the 

top of the oval - it was directly over our heads (and 

a little behind...)

But it was fun!

There was NOBODY on the beach when we got there

because there was a big storm cloud out to the west.

But as it got closer to launch, folks started to show up.

One was a young couple, probably taking engagement

photos. We had a good time watching them.

He was supposed to be lifting her with his legs.

But it didn't ever really work.

His legs weren't strong enough to hold her.

AND the photographer had them on an

air mattress (not really stable) down 

IN THE SURF!

So they kept getting wet.

(They picked a day the sky was overcast

AND the beach was COVERED in sea weed!

Should have waited for a few days until 

conditions were better....)

It was actually pretty funny.

Eventually they moved up to the dunes

about the time we packed up and left.

In other news....

We have been slicing peaches and putting them in

zippie bags in the freezer so when the machine 

finishes a load, we are ready with another one.

This is our next to last load.

Yesterday morning I sliced up three more

trays to add to what was in the freezer.

We only have one of these boxes left.

There's enough in one box to do a little over 2 trays.

And then we will be DONE with the peaches.

They are SOOOOOO delicious!

I'm glad we only got 100 pounds,

but I'm going to be wishing we got 200.

Their 2nd crop was really good,

so I might consider a 2nd delivery.

We'll see...

Last night I made a really delicious meatloaf

in the pressure cooker! It was yummy!

And now I'm heading off to get my 

list of "to do" done.
