Summer Craziness

Hello all! What a hectic, but wonderful weekend it was. Friday was spent picking, stringing, and canning green beans. Jamie, his mom, and I picked about 11 gallons, and ended up with 21 quarts with some left over to enjoy now! :) Saturday, I went over to mom's to help her put up corn. My momma's cream corn is delicous...something I enjoy year around, so I don't mind at all helping with it!!! Saturday night, Jamie and I had a hot date at Papa's Pizza in Hiawassee, followed by the 6th Harry Potter movie (which I loved...thought it was the best one yet). Watching it inspired Jamie and I to watch all the other Harry Potter movies again. Sunday, I finally had some QT with my BFF! We went shopping at Town Center and enjoyed several of our favorite things: Panera Bread, Retail Therapy, Cold Stone Creamery, and Outback. Yummy!! We came home with lots of shopping bags and feeling extremely full! I was super excited to see that there is a Ruth Chris steak house being built on Chastain Road. Jamie and I ate at one in Maui while we were on our honeymoon....the most delicious steak I've ever eaten in my life. It was so tender I could cut it with my fork. So excited there is going to be one close (sortof) to us! Whew...what a weekend! :)

The Farm

Most of our free time in the summer is spent here....the Godfrey garden and farm. Growing up, my family always had a garden until the time my brother and I started playing sports and there just wasn't enough time to garden. But, there isn't anything quite like home grown vegetables. So, working in our garden brings back many of my cherished childhood memories. Plus, Jamie and I get to spend alot of time together working in it and it's so great to enjoy and share the fruits of our labor. This year, we are growing lots of different vegetables: green beans, peppers, cucumbers, squash, corn, tomatoes, onions, and the list goes on....We are even growing pumpkins, which was actually an accident, but they are doing great. We aren't sure what we are going to do with all the pumpkins just yet, but it's neat just the same.

I thought I'd also post a picture of the most recent calves. These two little guys were late comers. When the first one arrived, we named him pea-dab because he was so small. Then, a few days later, another arrived. Since we can hardley tell them apart, we named this one pea-dob. They are so cute...and it's adorable to watch them frolick around in the field.

The Godfrey farm is a beautiful place. I'm blessed to be able to enjoy it.

Beginner Blogger

We always enjoy keeping up with our friends and family through blogs, and since our families and friends seem to be spreading out more and more every day, we decided to create our own blog in hopes of keeping in touch with everyone. Since we don't exactly know what we are doing, please bear with us while we figure this whole blogging thing out. :)
