hi..

Oh heck yeah!!!  Dan and I started subscribing to Garden and Gun sometime last year...I've been raving about it to just about anyone who will listen...I don't know why but I just love it, plenty of little stories to entertain you...excited it reached NPR, and at the same time I come to its defense for the slight negative it received - it is what it is, don't expect it to be a telling portrayal of current southern politics (that would simply not be proper) ...expect it to give you the light hearted positives of the South...a girl who moves here from Southern California knowing nothing of the Deep South but movies and its controversial history appreciates this magazine greatly and I know I will already miss it when we leave the South (because not living in the South and subscribing to Garden and Gun would just be wrong)...

Pictures!!  I had a rather productive weekend...it's not over yet though!...A lot of yard work today, put together a seeded whole wheat dough, and an enchilada (with the homemade tortillas, leftover beans and taco meat - delicious)!  Still need to hit up the library later this evening to keep working on the thesis...sigh...yesterday I managed to clean the inside of the house..finally vacuuming and mopping - the feel of clean wood floors on barefeet make me so happy...I think Hannah's constant licking of the floor contributes to the stickiness...

xo for now, Happy Father's Day proper!!
