We Were Blessed With A Bunch!!

of bananas, cucumbers, yellow peppers, lettuce, bread, to mention a few things!

We ate almost all of this box of bananas!

Remember the testimony of Darlene Rose?



We received a second box of bananas ready for baking so I pealed them and put them in zippy bags 11 bags with 9 in each.

We will have a lot of banana bread this winter.

This is also a blessing for making our farmer's market goodies!!



These peppers are BEAUTIFUL!!

We ate a lot of them just right out of the box with the lettuce and cucumbers...



and then make a supply of fridge pickles and peppers.



I did not want to waste a bit of God's blessings!

Off To The Farmer's Market!!

This was my Farmer's Market crew early this past Saturday morning.

As we walked down the sidewalk to the Farmer's Market with Lily sitting in the wagon among all the goodies like a princess on parade float, I felt a little like the Beverly Hillbillies.

We had fun.

We made about 25$ towards Grant's Ghana trip.

Not a bad start!!

Happy Father's Day!!

Here is a tribute to all the different situations Jeff has to deal with being the dad of this big bunch.

Since I am not as good with words, I thought I would take candid pictures of Jeff's different facial expressions while daily parenting situations come up.

His expressions need no commentary from me.

His face says it all!!!









As you can see, his job is not an easy one!

Happy Father's Day Jeff!!

A Little Monkey Bread For Ghana

Grant is planning on going to Ghana Africa this next November with a few other members of our church on a mission trip!!!

Yikes!!!

Is my mom heart ready for that!?

I do know he is.

Well, I am going to try to set up a seller's table at our local farmers market this summer to help him earn a little money.

Elena and I experimented on making a few treats the other day.

Mini Monkey Breads.




and mini little cheese monkey-ish breads.



We have a little tweaking to do but so far we have 17 thumbs up!!

Ghana,here Grant comes!

A Dandy Flag Day!!!

First off...

Here I am!!

I am feeling kind-of spy-ish.

You know kinda OO7 like.

I am here at Starbucks taking advantage of theses last 15 minutes of their WI-FI.

Just like all those spys in the movies do.

It feels much different than using the WI-FI at McDonald's.

Maybe a little more classy?

But on to my day...or my spy cover.

Thanks to Josh, we got the flag out today.

I could not find the real flag pole so a tree branch had to do.

That is ok Flag edict isn't it?



Josh painted our porch swing last week.

It looks great!



I needed a make-shift repair to our front screen door.

I think this will do well once I paint it.

I hope so.

Just do not laugh SO hard when you come visit.

It might hurt my feelings...

I am kind of sensitive like that...

Pretty Cute

I think it turned out very cute!

A Little Double Saturation

At Micky D's!!!!

It has been a bit!!!!!!

We have been having Internet troubles the last few weeks.

~Sigh~

Since there seems to be a lack of a good solution for our home internet in the near future I thought I would just bring my laptop to McDonald's!

So here I sit with my coffee

and

Hurrah!!!!

I am blogging again!!!

I think this is rather a good short term solution just as long as I stick with the coffee only.

One mistake I did though was not edit my blog pictures at home BEFORE I came to McDonald's.

I used up most of my laptop battery editing my pictures...

I know for next time.

Life,as you all know, keeps happening even if it is not blogged about so I have much to talk about.

But for tonight I will chat about my day and I can not forget pictures, of course.

Today's highlights:

Grant and I walked into town to apply for his passport. He is going to Africa in the late fall on a mission trip.

Grant and I then stopped at the coffee shop.

Our older children who are a part of the HeavenWord Handlers performance team spent the day at an FCA camp in Fairbault teaching the camp kids different basketball handling tricks.

I fell asleep on the couch.

I thought a lot.

Pondered things.

My Pooh brain was quite active.

I have been thinking about how life always seems to change.

I wish things would stay still for a bit so I could catch my breath.

But it does not.

Hmmm...

AND

I took some fun pictures!
