And the Winner is . . .

Last night we had our Ward Adult Pinewood Derby Race. What fun we had. Had fajita's to eat then a race to win. OK, not all of us are cut out to win. Not all of us had oodles of time to spend making a car. Not all of us are fanatics. I just wanted mine to go down the track, which it did. Not first, but that is OK. I did win for most original design. And the winner is. . .

What can I say. It is me. John said it had to be a loaf of bread. So I added the noodles that I made oodles of on Wednesday, and fresh strawberries picked yesterday (early) morning from an amish farm. How much better can it get. Everyone at the race wanted to eat my car. It was absolutely one of a kind.

Getting ready for church then Ryan's college graduation party. Busy weekend. Hopefully no more squad calls.

Fresh fruit, awwwww

I have been picking strawberries, out of my own patch. They taste the yummiest. Not enough to make much with, but that is OK. The amish produce auctions started this week so I can gets lots of fresh stuff there. Bought enough strawberries; to eat on the way home, to make freezer jam and strawberry rhubarb jam. I just love when all the goodies start appearing in my yard. Blueberries on the bush, just waiting to ripen. The black raspberries are LOADED this year. Maybe there will be enough to make Larry a pie if he is here at the right time. We planted red raspberries, but have to wait until next year for them. The grapes are growing well, too.

The garden has all sprouted. I love being able to go out and pick fresh lettuce for a salad, or green beans to mix with a ham bone. OK, I'm making myself hungry and it isn't even breakfast time yet.

John and Annie's house got set last week, in spite of the rain and MUD. The workers have been getting the siding and drywall taken care of. It will still be a while before they move in. The stairs need put in, the water and septic have to be done, but at least there is a house on the hill.

Sarah and Brian are doing great. That little tummy is poking out more each week. I think I am going to have to make her a couple of dresses. Gonna try out the new sewing machine. It is hard to find maternity clothes and she won't wear the tight stuff. That's my girl.

Well, gonna get ready to head to the auction. I want more berries for the weekend.

Catch up time

The trip that John and Sarah took west was great. They had a good time visiting with family. While they were there Sarah felt the baby move. She was soooo excited to tell her dad.
John is still at the mine but switched jobs, kinda. He also switched crews, which meant switching shifts. He worked 12 straight before he had a day off. Finally getting adjusted. He has a couple of days off now.
Sarah had another Dr.'s appt. Everything is going well. The baby was sleeping in a little ball and was not about to move, no matter how much poking the Dr. did.
John and Annie were hoping their house would come today, but, it is raining. Probably not a good idea getting up their driveway in this kind of weather. Hopefully it will dry up and it can be delivered. Been taking lots of pictures while they have been working in the basement area.
Me, nothing much. . . going to the temple tomorrow to get some family names done. Really need that trip.
Garden is planted. Planted more grapes and some red raspberries, yum. The rain will sure help everything to grow.
Life is good. What more could I ask for. . .I have a great husband, wonderful kids with great families, and great friends.
