Strawberry Jam and Messin' Around

It was one of those days when you look back and really wonder where the time went. Granddaughter Havela came over early while we were still taking showers and soon Grandson Mican showed up as well. We shared some of our morning blueberries with them while we ate breakfast.


After a bit, our son-in-law Todd came over and invited Forry to go strawberry shopping with him. Daughter Dawn was planning to make a whole bunch of strawberry jam. But, unfortunately the owner of the stand where Todd was going to get berries had taken his crop into Woodburn to the Farmers' Market instead. After quite a bit of looking, the guys finally ended up with two half-flats and we were able to at least make two double batches of strawberry freezer jam.


We spent a bit of time having Granddaughter Kyra model the clothes she was packing to take on her school trip to New York and Washington DC next week. Then we ended up making a trip to Goodwill to find the "perfect" small bag for her to take along with her carry-on duffel.


Dawn and Todd had a supper meeting this evening, so the Grandkids joined us for a shrimp supper. We spent most of it just messin' around and the day just flew by!
