  2. I actually just learned that the bigger the zuchini and cucumber are, the worse they taste. I had no clue! Gotta pick 'em when they are ripe! It's like 85 here-heard it was hot up north! We are just camping out in our one AC bedroom and it reminds us of our dark hole we lived in in China! We miss you guys! binz

  3. AHHH!! That is HUGE!!! Must have good soil? ha ha

    I just fried up zucchini from the garden last night. YUMMY!!! ENJOY IT..you'll have to make a loaf or something.?

    I would totally borrow your shampooer if you lived closer. I don't know how that thing is still working! You have proven it is of good quality! ;)

    Taryn is not potty trained yet, but I am sure it won't take long. I don't know how many times I have found her in the bathroom with both lids of the toilet up, her little seat in the toilet and Taryn trying to retrieve it.! ICK!! Toilet water all over... some of the MANY joys of training!! ;)

    Haven't heard from you in a long time...how have you been?? miss you guys!! xoxox
    kisses to J!

  4. Yes, zucchini are supposed to grow that big...it's what they DO! However, you can't use them for much at that size except for maybe a game of street football or a doorstop?!! Pick them when they're about 7 inches long, wash, slice and fry up with butter and a little onion, sprinkle with parmesan! yum!! GAS

  6. I think you should carve it for Halloween or something.

  7. Holy #$@#%^ Shelley. You should start going to all the county fairs to display your "wares"! You may take home some hardware (or ribbons at least).
