Thursday proved to be a very long and very busy day. Some of it was restful, like when I was getting my hair and nails done, but then I came back home and was consumed with puppy laundry, and cooking. Right now we have tomatoes coming in and we have far more than we can possibly eat, so I am making home-made spaghetti sauce with it. I’ve frozen some of the sauce to enjoy in the middle of a snowstorm this winter, and the rest I am using to make things like Eggplant Parmesan, and Lasagna.
The entire sauce making from beginning to end (including dinner), lasted from 1:30 until 7 pm! During this time I was letting dogs in and out, feeding Greta, who is constantly hungry, and checking on the puppies.
I actually didn’t take any pictures of them on Thursday. I will tell you though that their eyes are just starting to open. There are now lines where the eye lids meet, instead of the way the puppies are born, with the eyes tightly fused together. I wonder which puppy will have their eyes open first?
Arnie continues to be my special little guy. He follows me everywhere and sits by my feet when I am working in the kitchen. If I call to him he runs to me and leaps into my arms! What a guy!

Today is September 11, 2009. Eight years have now passed since that terrible morning. So many innocent people died, and our safe little world forever changed. I have never understood how anyone could do such an evil thing. It still boggles my mind, and there are times I still hear the voices of those who were on those planes, in the World Trade Center, or in the Pentagon, cry out from their fiery graves.
The victims came from more than 90 countries around the world.
The following are the number of people who died at each site:
World Trade Center 2,823 (includes airline passengers)
Pentagon 125 (not including plane victims)
Flight 11 – 92 people on board
Flight 175 – 64 people on board
Flight 77 – 64 people on board
Flight 93 – 44 people on board
May we never forget…..
What sadness to remember how horribly shocked I was that morning when I got up late and turned on the tv just as the planes were crashing into the buildings. God love all of them who died that day and those whose husbands, mothers, dads, and all relations who lived through it and still weep for the lost.
Our tomatoes may finally make some fruit. It has cooled down a little and some are setting fruit now. We will have a month or more before it gets cold…well usually that is the way it goes. This has just been a weird garden year, but my flowers are beautiful. It is going to rain all weekend so will lose some petals, but they will come back.
What NO pictures? You are super women to do all that sauce making!
I’ll never forget that day….. Love YOU, Mel
Hi Mom,
It is hard to believe that something like that happened.
Hope you have a great weekend!
Love you,
Mandy
already eight years ! I just came back from my painting course when I heard the first news in the radio of my car. Who would have thought that such a tragedy would happen and so many innocent lives lost. This event changed the whole world, here too many families were concerned and lost a family member. The WTC was very international.
