Hey! We Grew Something!

Chuck and I have dreams of one day having a lovely garden in our backyard. You know a place where we grow Fun-Dip and freshly baked whole wheat bread. For whatever reasons, it has yet to happen. This year we were close, but man, I am sure glad we didn't. Can you imagine me out there weeding, with this body, in this heat and humidity? Uh no.
