I love fresh summertime meals. Tonight's dinner is corn on the cob and bruschetta, made from garden fresh tomatoes and basil on homemade french bread. Dessert is blueberry pie made with fresh berries. Mmmmmmmm

I bought a case of the blueberries this week and indivually froze them, then bagged in 4 c portions. That's the perfect amount for a pie or a double batch of blueberry muffins. We've got 26 c in the freezer and another 6 c in the fridge right now waiting to be snacked on or turned into something baked. I'm on a baking spree these days. I got a baking stone free from my pampered chef party and I'm LOVING it. I must get more. These things are incredible!

We took the boat out today on an aborted journey. The water pump went out about 3 minutes upstream. So, we got out the paddles and played, making the trip back last about an hour. :) It's just a little boat, nothing heavy, so it was fine to paddle around. Luis would throw a cushion life preserver in, and then the kids and I would paddle to it and one girl would try to hook it with a grabbing pole we keep in the boat. Repeat about 15 times. It was great fun and we never even missed the motor.
