Go Katie!

Katie wrapped up her forth marathon(Top of Utah) yesterday. She and my sister, Malissa, both participated and had a great experience. Great job you two! -nate



OWL!

Came home this morning and Katie had spotted our new backyard guest. I think is is a Great horned owl. I compared with pictures of screech, Burrowing, and Barn owls but that was my conclusion. Any thoughts? He/she has been there all day. I think it is way cool! -nate

the progress

I thought I would share the progress of our little garden I posted about a while ago.


The garden today.

I'm so excited for all this tasty stuff!!! We have raspberries, tomatoes, lettuce, spinach and broccoli in this box. We also have another little garden area where we are growing some of the same stuff as well as rhubarb, peas, bell peppers and strawberries.
There is just something fun about making a sandwich and pulling a fresh lettuce leaf off the plant to put on it. As usual, I can't really take much credit for all this goodness... aside from being really good at choosing a husband. :) I love that guy!

Online Warehouse Sale

Since the JJ Cole warehouse sale won't happen like it used to, now that our warehouse is in IA, we've decided to hold one online! It starts this afternoon, but our Friends and Family sale is this morning from 8am-noon on www.jjcolecollections.com. This is an exclusive opportunity to buy before the general public. The discount will be 50% off select items + free shipping on the site Thurs 19-Mon-23rd. Spread the word, the product will go quick!

Pescando

My friend Ben and I caught a few beauty catfish at Bensen Marina a couple days ago. May you enjoy looking as much as I enjoyed catching :) -nate

a little help?

A good friend of ours is getting married on Thursday and we are drawing a serious blank on a wedding gift --don't worry, I'm POSITIVE he doesn't read our blog :)--! They are registered at BBB, but I wasn't excited about anything that wasn't already purchased for them. So, if you would be ever so kind as to share your favorite wedding gift, that you received, or that you love to give (and please keep it clean! :) ) it would really help us out!
