Embrace the Plate

Summer Solstice - 10:52pm S pring flew by with incredible speed, and we celebrated Summer Solstice camping with family and friends. The growing season gets pretty crazy for us, even if we didn’t have added commitments of outside work and events.  Over the past month we have: Organized meals and cooked for a 4-day jr-high/high school camping trip in Kananaskis- for 60 people! Super fun and always a great challenge. Got the garden in (just 107 tomato plants this year), which completely froze, dead, on June 22 with a freak late frost. Ah, Canada. Celebrated our daughter’s high school graduation (I was MC, there were 9 grads and ~250 guests) Celebrated my brother’s wedding (loved being able to sing 4 sacred choral works with my siblings for this) Celebrated both of our birthdays and our 24th wedding anniversary (24?! I'm  24... right??) Helped host a family camp for 200+ homeschoolers to celebrate 30 years of WISDOM Home Schooling. Plus the usual year-end work stuff when one works...
