Today is my 9th Anniversary. Jeremiah had this waiting for me on the kitchen table the other night. He is working days this weekend.
I thought it was sweet of him to pick out such a lovely watch for me.

This morning after teaching my Saturday cycling class I stopped off at the farmers market. Here is what I picked out. I purchased some peanut butter cookies to bring my girlfriend. I am meeting her for lunch today at The Greene (a large shopping center). I am sure her three kids will love them.
This week I have taught 8 classes in the past 10 days. I have one more tomorrow to teach until my next break. One of the other instructors is getting ready to move and wanted me to take on her classes along with mine this week. I am wondering how many people show up tomorrow on Fathers day for class?

Who can tell me what kind of cuke this is? I thought I planted regular cukes and a pickleing variety. I guess the plants were mislabeled at the store.

Look how tall my potted tomato plant is. It is a pineapple tomato variety. I wonder what they will taste like?

Ok, I know I planted too much in my garden. I hesitate to even post this picture. I am wondering how big this thing will get in the next few months.

Can you see the missing piece?

Here we are with some finished dolls. This was a fun day. Hopefully we helped out the doll ladies a bit.

Goodwill Radio Station



The Goodwill radio station has people who come in and read the newspaper from cover to cover. The Goodwill gives special radio's to anyone who asks for one. The radio's pick up only the Goodwill station. So people who can't read the paper can listen to it.

Some of the dolls had pretty bad hair cuts from their previous owners.

Cleaning Station


We were suppose to clean all dolls that came in dirty. Give them a nice hair style and dress them. Then the dolls can go back out to the Goodwill stores to be sold.
Some of the special dolls are sold on a website for more money.
The regular doll ladies were very knowledgeable about the dolls that would bring more money in.
We were given the tiny babies to work with for the day.
