Hit a Cow???

For his birthday, Vince asked for a Wii..."Lou, to play with the boys, of course!" I have to admit, it has been rather entertaining to watch them playing sports or driving on Mario Cart.

I got a new camera for Christmas, and finally tried it out for the first time last week - including this new video feature. Sorry for the "shaky ride" - but, the video was precious...Dave and Grandpa playing Mario Cart...Grandpa hit a COW!!! How do you hit a cow?? It was pretty funny! I think this is the first video game grandpa has played since Lar and I were kids!

It's ON!!!

OK! The Ito vs. Ito vs. Ito Garden Competition is ON!

I understand Kimmy built her raised beds, dad has his seedlings planted and GROWING, and our spring/summer fruits and veggies are in their beds and GROWING!

Though, those pesky squirrels have been sighted digging (looking for buried acorns! EEK!) and trying to pull the weed blocker cover over the strawberries (trying to save them ??) in our beds. Here's to great crops!

By the way, the only true winter garden crop was the sugar snap peas. Broccoli flowered before we were able to pick them (oops), brussel sprouts were too small and started to flower, kale never made it...but, we continue to pick hand-fulls of sugar snap peas every other day!
