Starting to get back to normal!

I don't know if we were just invigorated by the high altitude or we just exhausted ourselves and didn't realize it until we got home - but we have been so tired all week!
I just came in from the garden with a basketful of tomatoes. We enjoyed our first eggplant this weekend in eggplant parmesan (one of our favs) and also celebrated the tomatoes and cucumbers with our annual falafel dinner. For those of you who don't know what that is - it is a middle eastern dish that I learned to make while living in Israel. And it was GOOD!
Our weather is still quite moderate for August - I hope we get a little heat so my tomatoes ripen.
Still swamped with bookkeeping work at church as we end our ministry year and get ready for a new one September 1st! New budget, statements to send out, books to close. And more doctor appts this week. I'll give everyone a full health update at the beginning of Sept when all the tests are back. I feel great though! Walking every day and gardening helps.
Well, time to get ready for work....more soon. Here's another greatly requested for picture from Yellowstone.....the black bear! I'll tell you the story tomorrow.

Once upon a time there were three bears in Yellowstone Park. A pappa bear, a momma bear, and a baby bear. One day while pappa bear was out picking some berries to put in the oat meal, he came upon Goldilocks, a camper from Ohio. Goldilocks took his picture and he became famous in a story that everyone knows and they all lived happily ever after........Joe and Pat.
