Did you have a good week? There was a good turn out at church for the blessing of the backpacks for back to school. The summer sure flew by. I still have a lot of peppers on my banana pepper plant. The tomatoes and cucumbers are played out. Did not have a good cucumber crop. I think I need to find a cooler location for them next year. Gardening is a process. On the positive side, Mom got her new watch and managed to call me on it(!). Super cool. Now if she just remembers to wear it every day that would be a good thing.
I have a class on cyber security tomorrow which I am both dreading and looking forward to. On line anything has good dangerous of late. Best to try and stay safe. I am working this weekend if you need me or have questions.
