Another successful Pizza Night last night. 124 pizzas! Not a record, but a good night. We were all a little delirious by the end of the night. There were several larger groups. One was a company party with 11 pizzas (which we knew about ahead of time) and there were a couple others with 5-7 pizzas each. It all adds up. And, with her new addition this year of a beer license, people are able to, ahh... occupy themselves with some grown-up beverages while they wait for their pizza.

She is also taking advantage of the wait times with a couple of "appetizers". We're serving chips and salsa in a little paper boat, and for the last couple weeks, a melon bowl with fresh,  naturally grown cantaloupe and watermelon. If they tell you when you order that your pizza that it will be an hour-and-a-half wait, but would you like some chips and salsa or a melon bowl?!?! What are you going to say? Ah, Yes, please! And a couple extra beers! Woo hoo! Suddenly a $24 order becomes a $39 order. No brainer.

Today, Friday was a little laid back. Late start, then only a couple of tasks. Harvest beans from the newer lanes (that only took until 12:45!!) and try to get through the summer squash/zucchini and cukes. Got through some, but then had to get up to the Cities.

An uneventful drive home (always good!) and a fun evening with Erica, Shane and John.

Erica & Shane have officially given notice at their current  place and, after months of minor conflicts that are starting to accelerate, are moving their stuff in here. Will make for a full house, but, semper gumby, right???

(Semper Fi... the motto of the marines, "Always Faithful"??? Semper Gumby is "Always Flexible"!!)
