Frog on deck
I walked out the front door and found this large bull frog on the porch. So I put him in my boat to get this shot.
Keeping food fresh
In response to your August 2015 magazine story on throwing food away, my best remedy for keeping food fresh is using a vacuum-sealed baggie. When you purchase these bags it comes with a pump to pump all the air out of the bag. I have been able to keep iceberg lettuce fresh and usable for three weeks.
Frog in hiding
On the July magazine cover picture of Ethan and Gabe playing checkers on their makeshift table, I wonder how many noticed the little frog in the table sitting idly by. My daughter said, “Maybe the frog is waiting to take on the winner.” The picture reminded me of my brother and me playing together.
