Topsy Turvy

I haven't been very good at updating this blog as I don't think I have even tried since we were in Arizona. We did get a new awning put on the Motor home tho, and after being home for a couple months, came to Minnesota where we are now. We got some of the summer things out and cleaned the place up a little as we were here for a couple weeks before going back to Pontiac for Rhys' graduation and a few other things. One being our Veterinary class group reunion which we had in Oglesby at the Best Western. Then Curt's wife, Vicky, had an aortic valve replacement on June 7, so we spent that day at St. Joe Hospital in Bloomington. She got along fine so we came back to the lake on June 9th.

One of the main reasons for bringing the blog up to date is to show some of the pictures from Minnesota that our granddaughter, Emily, has helped us with, and, the main one is to show our progress with our Topsy Turvy tomato plant. We started it about the middle of May when we were here, then hauled it home with us, and brought it back in June. Mainly because it has to be watered every day and fertilized once a week. To date it has consumed approximately 70 gallons of water and a half pound of Miracle-Gro. At last count one of the neighbors thought there were almost 60 tomatoes ranging from pea size to the ripe ones plus it is still blooming. It has been a great conversation piece and of interest to everybody who sees it.

more pictures of Minnesota coming soon...
