Summer 2010 - Week 3

This was the Kids On Stage week. Emily had been looking forward to this since last summer. I spent the week driving between home and Leiper's Fork. It's a beautiful drive, but by Friday, I was done. She spent the week in Song Writing and the Elite Vocal Jazz Ensemble. She loved camp and really enjoyed the Jazz Ensemble, even though she wasn't sure about it initially. I can't get that song to upload, but here's the song that she and the girls in her song writing group wrote called "Wake Up". It's very catchy.

First 2 weeks of summer

The first two weeks of summer, we had nothing planned. It was nice. I started organizing the house, we visited the pool, worked out at the "Y" and I planted a small garden on a very hot day. I had to remove the sod, build the box (it was a kit), break up the dirt, put more soil in the box and plant. I planted 2 tomato plants, 1 cucumber, rosemary, basil and a jalapeno plant.

This picture is about 2 weeks after the initial planting...
