Summer news!

Well, I have tried blogging before and just never stuck with it. Im starting over with a new blog and i'm determined to stick with this one!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well this summer seems to have flown by. Its been a busy one for sure!
In May my mom and I went down and visited my Grandma in South Carolina,She had minor surgery and we went down to make sure she took it easy, and of course just to see her! We stayed for about a week.We got home from there and Mom and Dad flew out to Oregon for my nephews dedication and a 10 day visit while my brother and I stayed with friends in the mountains of Eastern TN. We stayed for two weeks with our friends the McCrillis's along with the McCrillis's grandson Matthew Brown and Our good friend Meg Clingensmith. We saw our friends the Olivers frequently during the time we were there also. It was alot of fun, and alot of good memories were made in those two weeks. In my opinion a wonderful way for summer to get under way!
We attended the Smyrna Camp meeting in WV June 17th-21st '09. I was able to meet a few people that i had talked with online before and also made some new friends. It was a blessing in alot of ways!
Our Garden has flourished this summer, thanks to my Dad who has a green thumb. We have already put up strawberries, blackberries, corn, tomatoes( every year i wonder if the tomoatoe plants will ever stop producing! by the end of the season im sick of seeing, smelling or anything to do with a tomatoe!lol)..We have also purchased bushel after bushel of peaches from a local produce market and frozen the peaches. A mennonite family about 30 mins from us have a you-pick blueberry patch,so we picked and froze blueberries also. This fall we will also harvest different varieties of Squash, Sweet Potatoes and the rest of the potatoes from our garden. Im sure im forgetting a number of things that are out in the garden though.
I've worked for different neighbors off and on all summer along with starting my own craft business-rosecottagecrafts.com-. I've enjoyed getting my craft business going.I have my crafts in two stores, and have a website which i referred to earlier.
School has started for me. This is my sophomore year and im homeschooled again. Im possibly attending OHA-Ouachita Hills Academy-next year, and so this may be my last year of homeschool!
Anyway, this summer has been awesome, and i've made alot of good memories and also met alot of awesome new people! The last month or so has been alot quieter then the first months of summer, but all in all its been a good summer!
The next couple of posts just might sound a bit like im rattling on about nothing. Like I said before, i havent been to successful when it comes to blogging. So im gonna try to stick with this one and actually post things instead of just letting it sit there and do nothing with it!
Thanks for reading my idle ramblings, and i hope your summer was as good as mine!
