I had plenty of tentative plans for this summer- camping out for several days, road trips here and there, meeting with old friends, reviewing and refreshing my math abilities, developing some new hobbies, etc. But they've been overshadowed for the most part ever since Joo and I bought our house a month ago and dove into full-on home repairs and remodeling. Not what I expected, but it's still been an exciting adventure, especially because of its positive momentum where the good feelings at all the repairs accumulate over time. We even were able to host our friends the Stricklers on a weekend visit. Together, we went to Old Man's Cave in Hocking Hills...
The Stricklers were all up for some fire treatment after their long drive and so Joo lit up several deum on their hands. The heat apparently restores a healthy balance to blood flow.
Our garden harvest has been coming in huge bunches, but none so large as the giant zucchini. We thought of several uses for it, including baby practice (no Joo is not pregnant yet, although I did wonder the other day when some Chipotle found its way back out the esophagal route) and weaponry...
But it ended up as a delicious stuffed zucchini that we polished off quite quickly despite its massive size.
The MVP of the recent weeks has been Kiwi with his dedicated English studies. He speaks slowly and repeats things often, but when he has learned something, he remembers it permanently and knows well when to use it. It's amazing to see how far he's come in just a few short weeks. We've played around with the idea of him returning here to the US to work or study after he finishes his final semester in Korea...
