Nearly October Already?

Last week we managed to inspect two apartments on Tuesday.  We were at Nathan and Tara's for meals on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.  (Really saves on our grocery bill.)  Wednesday to Friday was very quiet at the Temple, but on Saturday we had a busload from New Brunswick (a big greyhound type bus) so we were busy.  There was an extra session that day.

Yesterday evening we  were again at Nathan and Tara's.  Tara made a birthday cake for me and the boys had balloons and a birthday banner decorating the house.

They are replacing the Angel, Moroni on the top of the temple.  Apparently he is going flakey.  His replacement arrived today and Bob was called to help unload him and put him in storage until they get him up on the roof.

I made Bob buy some tomato plants this spring because I didn't think I could live without homegrown tomatoes.  They don't sell many of them here and when Bob found them he paid $17 for three plants and put them in pots on our deck.  Well  we found out why they don't sell many.  When we finally got ripe tomatoes they were horrible - hard and tasteless.  I guess we will do without next year.

I remember one year when I was at summer school in Edmonton my mother sent me a shoebox of green tomatoes.   People couldn't understand why I was so exited about green tomatoes, but I put them on my windowsill and they ripened and were very good.  I don't suppose tomatoes could be sent through Canada Post these days.
