We've enjoyed pretty good health so far this year (outside of my hospitalization for vertigo back in January). Karen's feeling the best she's felt in years and on Monday the doctor just told me I was healthy but needed to eat less, start exercising again, and to stop eating large quantities of ice cream before going to bed (something about my triglicerides doubling over the past year). So Tuesday I came down with a raging head cold (still raging) and today Karen sprained her ankle while continuing her work over at the Stalter House (the house I used to live in, see May 17th's blog). I'm here at the desk wheezing, coughing, and sneezing and she's over on the couch with an ice pack on her left foot. But we're blessed our health challenges are small. Many of our dear friends ( in Ohio, California, and Pennsylvania) and several of our fellow
MMS missionaries around the world are facing real tests of their faith and of their health.SALSA GARDEN
Here's the photo of our freshly planted salsa garden (also mentioned in the May 17th blog). Banana peppers, jalapeño peppers, and Roma tomatos trying to get rooted and ready. These are the gardens Karen just dug to allow the plants to receive more sun they did against the house where they used to be planted. She's planted perennials in the old beds.
HAPPY DOGS
Tucker and Tanner are already dreaming of the Salsa Harvest as they over look the garden from their observation point on our deck. You'll notice that Tucker is already licking her jowls in anticipation of snatching vine-ripened tomatos off the plant.
