Bell Peppers As Big As Your Head!

When we lived in Muncie, IN there was a Mexican fast food restaurant whose logo was "Burritos as big as your head." And, yes they were that big. We've been watching one of our green bell peppers grow and grow and grow. Sadly, we had to pick it this weekend. As you can see, it just about is "as big as your head."

In addition to growing peppers, we have some cantaloupe that are ready to be picked. They aren't quite ripe enough to eat yet, but we think we needed to go ahead and pick them, so they won't rot on the ground. In a few days, they should be ripe enough to eat. We can't wait!

As far as the big bell pepper, I may just have to make some stuffed peppers. That one alone could probably feed two of us.

can't wait to dig into this!

A New Driver

Today, my baby completed his Driver's Ed class. In the state of Louisiana, you can't even get your permit until you complete a class which includes so many hours in class and behind the wheel. Today, Benjamin came home from his last driving session with form in hand asking when he can get his permit. So, sometime next week, we will be headed to the DMV.

After the previous three children, you would think I am comfortable with him behind the wheel, but, no, I am not. This has been a real stress to me, as each of my four children have received the privilege to drive. For the most part, all of them are good drivers. I will have say my eldest son does have a bit of a lead foot. Anyway--here I go on my next adventure as my baby starts his driving career...I think not only him, but Mama needs a few prayers.
