Worked on financial records from 2009, to get ready for the audit. Had someone come to look at the kitchen and give an estimate for professional cleaning. The floors will be stripped and waxed Friday. Another person gave us an estimate for replacing our security system. All necessary things, but we are spending a lot of money without taking much in.

I enjoyed meeting Becky for lunch. Ray and I went swimming. I was still not very into cooking, so Ray cooked spaghetti and heated up some leftover jarred sauce. I cut up some cucumbers and cherry tomatoes and poured dressing on. We also ate a little melon from the garden, which was good, and interesting--it looked like a cantaloupe on the outside, with an orange center and lots of edible green around it.

And I made blackberry upside down cake, which was awesome. I haven't been doing much baking because of the heat, but there was a great thunderstorm about dinner time that lowered the temperature for a bit, so I decided to use the oven.
