Hi internets. Hope you are doing well. I've been so busy I haven't had time to blog. Tarzan and I did take our short trip - 4 days to the western side of Michigan, enjoyed the beach and Lake Michigan. Perhaps I'll get around to blogging the details soon.
I've been making a ton of tomato sauce since my in-laws are in Italy for a month, so their garden is mine! It's exhausting! My legs ached so much after working in the kitchen all weekend. I was happy to be working at my desk today. However it is all worth it to have delicious homemade sauce all winter long.....or at least through the fall. I think Tarzan may eat it all before Christmas.
We did get the sad news that his grandmother in Italy passed away Saturday. Her name was Fragolina. We are sad, but very happy that his mother got to spend more than 2 weeks with her before she died. Unfortunately I never got to meet her, but I've heard many stories about her from my husband. She used to make him eat raw eggs - she'd poke a hole in the egg and make him suck out the egg. May she rest in peace.
My grandmother is turning 100 this coming Saturday September 5th. We are heading up to northern Michigan for a party at the nursing home. I guess my grandmother is super excited about her party. We are then going to enjoy Mackinac Island, perhaps Torch Lake and all that northern Michigan has to offer. After a miserably cool summer, I daresay the weather is looking to be beautiful this weekend!

Glad you were able to take a trip! Sounds like you're doing well!
ReplyDeleteOoh, we just did a brief trip to Mackinac and it was gorgeous, as always. I hope you have a wonderful time when you go! It will be fun to celebrate your grandmother's birthday, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteAs for all the sauce-making you're doing: WHEW! You are my hero-that's a TON of work. But I'll bet it tastes amazing!
