The work for GrantWorks has certainly been exciting lately. A week ago, I attended and participated in city council meetings from Cranfills Gap to Aurora with several stops along the way. Got a bunch more to go.
I am making some rookie mistakes but am starting to feel more comfortable with the process. I enjoy working with the folks who run small communities, listening to their stories and going over our shared experiences. There is a lot I have learned over the past few months, and I have more learning to do.
Our small lakeside garden is kicking out tomatoes, okra, jalapenos, dill, eggplants (white & purple). We are canning a pint or a quart of something daily, mostly pickled okra.
Melanie spent 10 days with her sister Merikay in Sherman. Those who know us, know why Mel was there. She and Bully had a good time there, it was nice to get them back home last week.
Got to have a short visit with Joey, Allison and Case right after Joey's 35th birthday.
Have not fished a lot in all this heat. Brother in law Johnny did come last weekend and went home with lots of sandbass fillets we caught.
Short trips this week, lots of stuff to do...
