Memorial Day Fun





Well the unofficial start of summer began last weekend. Casey's friend Kevin came to stay for the weekend and we feasted on Thai food and other wonderful treats. Greg surprised us all by entering into the Mixer tournament at our tennis club. He had a great run and surprised us by getting into the finals on Memorial Day. Unfortunately he and his partner lost but it was a very good final and we were very proud of him.

This has set him on a path and he is playing in a clay court tournament this weekend. I know what he will spend his summer doing!

Casey is working full time at the orchard and we were lucky to have fresh picked strawberries last night. What a treat compared to the ones purchased at the grocery store. We look forward to many more and Casey and I already plan to make freezer jam and much more.

Garden updates to come later this week I hope.

Tennis Season Ends Today

Today, after 9 straight days of rain, Greg will end his junior year of tennis. They have a home match against Solebury School and then are done. He had a great year. It started off with being named a captain of the team. He had hoped to play singles but didn't get the opportunity this year (maybe next year). He ended up playing 3rd doubles (not where he wanted to play or SHOULD HAVE played), but it was fine as he and his partner went undefeated for the entire year. They even beat the state champions team both times they played them. Even though the team as a whole lost, Greg and Ryan were victorious. So all in all it was a great year for his 3rd year on varsity.
