ARROWHEAD UPDATE from his daughter Lisa.... "Thanks for the message, it is appreciated as always... and for passing on the email from the other FReeper with the TBI! I wanted to wait to write back until he had been transferred from St. David's to CORE. The move went smoothly on the 6th, and Mom has been to visit a few times already in the days since then. He already fits in very well at the new facility and I'm told that he loves to be out in the halls and activity areas in his wheelchair, sitting and doing his best to visit with the staff and the other patients. He is in therapy Monday through Friday for quite a bit of his day, and has a little more time for R&R on the weekends. You are certainly right - there has been SO much rain down their way! I'm sure he talked about the lake from time to time, it was so far down for the last few years (something like 60 or 70 feet?) With all of the rain they have had it literally brought it up 50 feet in a couple of weeks! It was amazing, and is pretty close to being completely full. I will tell Mom to pass on to him that the FReepers have been asking about all the rain and that big lovely lake of his. :) Thank you again for the email. Have a great weekend!" The need continues for prayers and cards of support. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3224657/posts Apologies for the format, I tried to fix the paragraphs, but failed. Not sure what I did wrong.

Hi all, greetings from west Michigan. Picking broccoli, cukes, no tomatoes ripe yet, cherries soon. Waiting on second crop radishes and lettuce. Put up a half gallon of pickles today, first ones. Also eating our second helping of shishito peppers. Fast sautéed with a little olive oil and then topped with some cheese. They are really tasty. It’s our first year growing them. Also picked my first banana pepper. Always take a nice big inhale of that first one I pick. I’ve been putting up small bags of chopped up green onions through the foodsaver and then freezing them. I tried that last year with 2 small bags and they come through the freezer pretty good. no frost with the foodsaver and I usually use them for soups or fried rice anyway. Yes green onions are cheap in the store but I have them now and they don’t take up any room in the freezer. Zucchini and summer squash almost ready to pick. We like them on the grill sliced in half, not grilled very long with still a little crunch. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
