If I'm to be totally honest with you, I have to say I'm quite impressed...I didn't know my man had it in him to be so crafty and handy. And now that I know...he can rest assured that I've got gobs of jobs he could do...kitchen cupboards, kitchen remodel...that picnic table I've been wanting for three Mother's Days now. Oh, yeah...he's proven himself. 
And Big A.? He's a darn good rafter holder hammerer nailer. Darn good. Although, he looks pretty chilaxed in this next pic, dontcha think?
Well, anywho...two rafters up, square, level, plumb (thanks to that darn Bob), flush, and "right on the nuts", I'm sure!
Will we see a roof next week? I sure hope so, not quite sure who's gonna shingle it tho, what with it's nearly 90 degree peak...think we'll draw straws for that one.

In other, yummy news...Miss E. had her second (and final) birthday celebration tonight.
Her meal choice? Tacos.
Our garden? Abundant with tomatoes that I really don't know what to do with.
So, I made salsa.
And, I hafta say...it turned out yummo!! Want the recipe?
Oh, you don't?
Sorry, I'm giving it to you anyway...and just so you know...I am a quick and easy kinda girl (ummmm...that didn't sound quite right)...what I mean is, I love to cook, but it's gotta be quick, and it's gotta be easy...'cuz I hate "putzy"!!
Mama M's Salsa:
5-8 small-large tomatoes (sorry, no exact measurements here! And, please forgive the poor, flashy photo...natural light is hard to comeby in our kitchen. And, just so you know...it started out "pico-ish" and as it fermented...no, marinated...it got juicier!)
1/2 large onion
3 small jalapenos
Very small dash of sugar
Couple pinches of kosher salt
A hearty handful of cilantro
Juice of 1/2 a lime
Seed and chop the tomatoes, and the jalapeno...dice the onion. Chop the cilantro (or dice or mince or whatever it is you do to herbs). Mix in a bowl. Add the salt and sugar and lime and a little love, too, if you wish. Serve with chips and enjoy!
It was a big hit...'specially with the Mister.
