Today the Clearbrook Bears had a football scrimmage in Argyle, MN. which is about two hours north of us and maybe 60 miles from the Canadian border. Since the weather was miserably hot, I wasn't too thrilled to go, but John sort of talked me into it. I must say it was HOT!!! I don't know how the kids could stand playing in their pads, helmets, etc.
There were approximately 16 teams from the northern part of the state. Four games were going on at the same time on two different fields. A game consisted of 15 snaps on offense for each team. In between the offense and defense, the JV teams each got five snaps of the ball. Sam played varsity and in one game intercepted a pass. In their third game, he was quarterback and threw for a touchdown. As soon as the final game was over, we didn't waste much time getting back into the car and turning on the AC. We stopped at Arby's for some supper on the way home and finally got back around 7:30 p.m. after leaving a little after noon.

Hard to believe the 2013 school sport's season is starting. We just put all the games on our calendar and it looks like we'll have a pretty busy September going to volleyball and football games as well as getting ready for our big sale.
Ralph called to remind us to send along some tomatoes with Dave and Valada when they return to Brackettville. Thought I'd give him a little preview of what he can expect.
Here is a sample of our tomatoes
Our grapes are beginning to ripen--will
be another bumper crop this year

This was taken over a week ago and they are
even taller now. Don't know if they'll head
up since they went in so late.
