What a storm we had yesterday!  The sky just opened up.  Did anyone get hail?  We did.  Little chunks of ice fell.  Did I mention it was like 85 degrees out.  So weird.  After the crazy rain and wind stopped, I looked out in the backyard.  ALL OF MY TOMATO PLANTS WERE DOWN!  I shrieked.  You don’t even understand.  This is my first garden and everything is doing really well.  My heart just sank thinking that the plants might have been ripped up or broken.  We went out there and thank God we were able to salvage everything.  We tied all the plants up and secured all the stakes.  Whew!  It was a close one.  All during this mayhem…..little Ben peacefully slept.

I entered Ben’s photo in a Newsday contest.

I would love it if you could click on the picture and Vote it as BEST.  I greatly appreciate it. 

Going to see The Bee Movie at Bald Hill tonight. It’s been so crazy around here that I haven’t been posting regularly.  Sorry about that.  Tonight should be fun and I’m totally looking forward to it.

We love you.

Check out my MOM at Jones Beach!

Hope everyone had a great Holiday weekend.  We did!  It was filled with parties and fireworks.  Thanks Dave and Melissa.  Thanks Cathy and John.  Ben woke up with a small fever today and something is hurting him in his mouth.  Great! 

Gotta run….no time for anything.

As most of you know, my Mom teaches really hip line dancing at Jones beach every Wednesday night over the summer.  Tonight is the first night and Newsday is even coming down to interview her.  We’ll be there showing our support.  Click Here for more info or HERE  for the  full Bandshell schedule.  It’s raining now but hopefully it will pass.  Cross those fingers.  Hope to see some of you there (calling all Flamenco goyles!).
