A Year Goes By

 Our family friend, Larry, coaches the high school boys soccer team in Aberdeen and has been running a summer camp since the 90s.  Robby attends every year and Katie attends sporadically.  This summer she decided to attend because she wants to play in the fall.  Robby, being a seventh grader this fall, will attend the afternoon camp while Katie's age range is the morning.  Larry asked if Robby would like to help out in the mornings, so they've both been gone a lot!

At camp the kids play a lot of games (besides soccer!) and learn to improve their soccer skills.  They both had a great time and are quite sunburned despite our sunscreen efforts.

So, you are questioning, what does this have to do with food?  Every year, as a thank you, I bring Larry salad from my garden.  I wasn't sure if I was going to or not this year since the lettuce is really all that is ready.  However, Theresa, his wife mentioned that she was looking forward to the fresh salad.  Also, Hailey, their daughter who is also Robby's age, told Robby she couldn't wait for the salad.  Funny.  So, I shared the wealth.  I pulled some small carrots and onions for them.  Lots of lettuce and a couple of zucchini.  Nice to know that my efforts are appreciated and wanted!
