Tomatoes!

What do you do when you have tomatoes coming out your ears? You make spaghetti sauce. We planted 5 tomato plants this year and didn't quite realize how much they would yield. We have already frozen about 5 quarts of tomato puree and I still had at least 12 tomatoes left. So today I tried something new by making spaghetti sauce. It was so good. Fresh is the best. By the way we would have harvested more tomatoes, but our resident squirrel has been snatching them daily. He even steals them as we watch. Usually at dinner time and then hangs out on our fence to leisurely eat only half of the tomato. And then he is done. Jim has wanted to get his shotgun out and put an end to him, but we read online that if you kill a squirrel there is another to take his place. Oh well.

Ward Luau!

This is our third annual Luau that are ward has put on. I have now danced at the Luau twice. Any day now I am expecting to hear from the Polynesian Cultural Center with a job offer. I will have to turn them down, I am too busy. It was really fun to learn the dances, but it took awhile to finally get the moves right.

Here I am doing a Maori Dance.

Carrie and I both danced. I made cool feather earrings as part of our costume.

Our second dance was a Samoan number. I know, I look amazing.

And so graceful.

They said at the dance practices that I am half Samoan. I take that as a compliment.
