7. Start planning my winter garden.
8. Keep my summer garden alive through August.
9. Make up pesto to freeze with all that fresh basil I have growing out there.

This Wednesday at the Mayborn Children's Museum

The Mayborn Museum has an Egyptian Exhibit this summer.  Every Wednesday they do a special activity, and this Wednesday the theme is live and play like an Egyptian!  From 1:30 - 4:30 kids can weave a basket (or have a race in one), make a cartouche, learn hieroglypics, and more!  See all the planned events here.

(NOTE:  In past Wednesday activities, many events finished up around 4:15, even though it says 4:30.)

MORE FUN TOMORROW:  Egyptian movies are being shown every Thursday.  July 28th, at 6:00 pm you can see "Egypt's Great Queen: Hatshepsut."  See full Thursday line-up here.

WARNING

Came so close to buying this at Walmart for a fruit bowl for my table.  

Good thing I noticed the label on the bottom first.

To their credit, it was in the decorative/crafts section, not where food

containers and dishes are sold.   And thankfully it was labeled.
