our garden

A couple weeks back we got our garden in.. now we've had rain, rain, and more rain!  The other day we saw beans, peas, and wildflowers poking out of the soil.. we'll try to keep you up to date on the fruits of our labors!

so, what do the crazy flats do for good times?

Eat.  Yup, food and fun pretty much go hand in hand.

Well, and card games.. but this post is about FOOD. 

Fishy Food.

We went for All You Can Eat Fish and chips tonight.... the boys decided it was a contest.  Here is the final tally;

Bren - 4 pieces
Owen - 6 pieces
Darrick - 12.5 pieces
Kenny - 12.5 pieces.

Do you think its gross?  Or do you want to congratulate them?  .. you haven't even heard the worst part - I told Jac to stop bringing the fish because I was scared they'd be too sick to go to the Bean Gallery tomorrow night - otherwise they'd have eaten MORE!

Darrick's Mad Skills

So, our new intern Darrick is amazing!  Not only does he make Flatlanders even funner with his great sense of humor and his heart to serve, he MAKES VIDEOS!!

Doc Night

Just drawing your attention to a link on the left hand side. We do a documentary night, pretty much every friday evening @ 8PM at our place. If you want to get on the mailing list for which documentary we'll be watching you can email me at derekeidse at hotmail dot com or you can just go to the site: docnight.blogspot.com for updates. Cheers, Derek.

Communications

Hey there.....so we here at Flatlanders are putting together a list of people who are connected to us so that we know who to contact when events are happening.....of course we will post all events we know about ahead of time right here, but for the events that happen more spontaneously (which are most of them) we'd like to know who we should call.  So yeah, email me at asuzannel@gmail.com and let me know who you're thinking of!!!  Thanks.
