Monday I went shopping for some needs for a few of the kids. While at the store, I grabbed 6 ears of corn and a seedless watermelon. A seeded watermelon will go to waste here while a seedless lasts maybe two days. Funny kids! oh yeah, I bought some fresh dill to make some dill pickles with yet more cucumbers from our garden. I had to get more eggs because I guess I underestimated my family. They finished off the 5 dozen in a week. The kids' had a pool party, and I made some more Munchie Mix. They also finished off our huge batch in a week as well - the oinkers!
