Photo-A-Day #02724 Our garden is now producing some cucumbers. I've found at least two of them so far mixed in with the squash and zucchini. Not much else going on aroun dhre. Been working 5 hours each day at the Pretzel place. Will have put in 21 hours by the end of the week. That is helpful to earn a bit extra through the Summer.

Photo-A-Day #02723 At The Pretzel Factory we have 4 different slushie flavors. Lemonade, Cheery Lemonade, Raspberry Lemonade and Mango Lemonade. We also have an ice cream machine. I figured I'd make a fun little slush in honor of the 4th of July. Maybe I'll make another tomorrow and we can do a special photo shoot. for Social Media. 

Photo-A-Day #02722 Tonight I went to Sura with my friend Aaron. Allison and the kids are on the Cape and I'm finding things to do while they are away. So, I contacted my friend, Aaron about going to an adventurous meal night. He knows the best places to try new things. We had Bibimbap in stone bowls. It was a beautiful meal filled with colorful vegetables and a fried egg. I got the short rib version. The food was excellent and very flavorful. We started with a kimchi scallion pancake. It was an interesting take on the scallion pancake. On the way to the car I noticed this street art and it made me think of K-Pop Demon Hunters. 

Photo-A-Day #02721 I picked up some Shameless Snacks. These are low sugar, high fiber snacks. They are pretty tasty. They sent this little container so that I can put a bunch in there and have one or two at a time instead of opening and eating a whole bag. 

Photo-A-Day #02720 Today I went to the North Attleboro Pride Festival at the common in front of town hall. I was there for The Attleboro community Theatre. We had a table there and were passing out wristbands, stickers and candy. We were also a sponsor so we were on part of the scavenger hunt route. That way many people came to the table. I got a lot of compliments on the shirt, too. I got there early because Doug, the ACT vice president needed help setting up the tent and the table. I got off work and set my alarm for 11:30 and got to sleep. I was awoken by Andy looming over me, maybe they were not looming but Andy's gotten taller. Allison had asked them to wake me at 11:30 but I guess Andy was trying to get it checked off their list so woke me at 11. I was out. I stayed until 3:00 just after my friend Ruthie, spoke. She is the president of ACT.  While I was off doing that Allison and her friend Jen went to the Farmers Market in Attleboro and then off to the Grist Mill for the ind...

Photo-A-Day #02719 After a week of last things for Andy today was their very last thing at Brennan Middle School. today was the 8th grade breakfast. Andy was able to enjoy a meal with their friends one last time at the school. Later Andy and friends went to Kimochi and got boba.  I worked at the Philly Pretzel Factory. I was scheduled from 2-4 but got a text that asked if I could come in earlier so instead I worked from 12-4. But, before that Allison and I got breakfast at The Rehoboth Baking Company. I also started a better way of converting the old VHS tapes. I'm currently converting a tape of a trip that my grandparents took me on when I was 10 years old. It was to Disney. It is wild what the place was like back then. My grandfather taped everything, whole rides and representations. To record the VHS to digital I got a simple converter cable and run it through OBS.
